How We Chose Our Wedding Colors

August 31st, 2007 @ 6:30 pm by Mrs. Tulip

Washington, DC is a magical place when its cherry blossoms are in bloom. Every year at the end of March or beginning of April, just when winter has ended and we’re feeling most desperate for spring, this ordinarily somber city comes alive for one precious week, maybe two.

So when I started to think about planning our wedding, I immediately thought of a cherry blossom theme…

Wrap Me Pretty.

August 31st, 2007 @ 6:01 pm by Mrs. Cherry Blossom

This is money I can save to use for something else, but these are so pretty! I mean, I’m going to get cold and I’ll need something to keep me warm aside from Mr. CB’s arms, right? I can’t just wear some ol’ peacoat - wouldn’t I want something to complement my gorgeous gown?

I saw a couple wraps that I thought were just so lovely. I…

Good Ol’ Ice Cream Social

August 31st, 2007 @ 5:42 pm by Mrs. Peppermint

Because we’re having a destination wedding of sorts, we were thinking that after our rehearsal dinner it might be nice to have an informal ice cream social at the hotel. My cousin did a similar thing two years ago when he got married outside of Lake Tahoe. At first I didn’t think to suggest this idea for fear of the cost and coordination of another wedding…

Pain-free Wax?

August 31st, 2007 @ 5:18 pm by Mrs. Onion

Doesn’t sound possible does it? Well I’m skeptical, but I’m going to find out for myself. I decided to spend some serious money on “as painless as possible waxing” from Bliss Spa in New York City. I’m going to have my legs waxed (never done this before) as well as a bikini, eyebrow and lip wax to prepare for the wedding, but more importantly, the honeymoon!…

Our wedding tries to embody the Japanese idea of "slow life", which is truly taking the time to enjoy food, company, and your environment!

Oh Photoshop…

August 31st, 2007 @ 3:51 pm by Mrs. Gummi Bear

..how I wish I had illustrator instead of you. Actually, I do, somewhere, but I’m using photoshop for easy-peasy stuff like this.

Mr. GB and I are taking on the daunting task of wrapping our favors one by one. 300 macaroons each individually wrapped with cello paper, tied on either ends with ribbons, and a sticker to keep them closed. I know, everyone has said this…

I've studied studio art extensively, almost majored in art history, and freelance as a web and graphics designer. Mr. Peony and I are having a ball of a time planning a wedding for 250(!) guests, doing our best to infuse our personalities (geeky chic) with the wishes of our very traditional Asian parents.

Favorite Beauty Products

August 31st, 2007 @ 3:22 pm by Mrs. Peony

I’m pretty cheap when it comes to most items, but the three things I splurge on are gadgets, handbags, and beauty products. And as a natural researcher by heart (and trade), I research and test items from all three categories to death before making any purchases, especially if a lot of money is involved. While I can go on and on about all three topics,…

I Was Destined To Be A Bride

…as evidenced by this picture at age six with my wedding gown Barbie.

I’ve been scanning pictures for our slideshow and it’s brought back a flood of childhood memories. Poring over my family’s old photo albums has actually been one of my favorite parts of wedding planning. It’s so much fun reliving my childhood!

The Dowry

August 31st, 2007 @ 2:09 pm by Mrs. Tulip

My parents more than approve of Mr. T, but we discovered that my father is the old-fashioned type when it comes to engagements. Like, really old-fashioned — he demanded three cows as a dowry in exchange for my hand! Every time we brought up our upcoming engagement, Dad would say it couldn’t become official until he received his three cows….

Well, as with all problems in life,…

We have a jumbo mini-dachshund (seriously, he's huuuuge), and we're planning an autumn themed wedding on a shoestring, paid for by ourselves. The wedding date is my late grandma's birthday, I needed her there somehow, and that seemed like the best way for us. I can't believe I'm a Bee! I couldn't be more proud!

Cake Test

August 31st, 2007 @ 1:16 pm by Mrs. Lollipop

Our cake baker has finally returned one of my messages and now I am officially on my own for my wedding cake. Strangely, I feel relieved. I won’t be stuck with a cake that I haven’t seen before the wedding and I won’t hurt my baker’s feelings if I show up with a backup cake. She’s a friend and having a tough time, so instead…

Mr. Petunia and I are obsessed with all things World of Warcraft, Monopoly, and Nintendo, so we’re planning on including some fun “game-y” details into our wedding.

Arras

August 31st, 2007 @ 1:01 pm by Mrs. Petunia

Often, Hispanic Catholic weddings include the ritual of the arras, or unity coins, which the groom presents to the bride (I bet there are others cultures that do it, too, and I just don’t know about it: please excuse my ignorance and be sure to tell us who else incorporates this tradition!). 

Arras consist of 13 gold coins. When the groom gives these to his bride,…
