Here I Go
April 29th, 2008 @ 5:39 pm by Mrs. Sundae
I’ve made an appointment for next Wednesday, it’s official. I am entering the world of airbrush tanning. I am in my cousin’s wedding next weekend and there is just no chance I can show up as pasty and white as I am now. I am pretty sure I would reflect the light of the camera flash. I’ve tried the self tanning lotions… but, honestly? I am lazy. The whole applying everyday and waiting for it to dry situation deters me. Pathetic, I know, but true.

Not my man… but another I greatly admire… Mr. Louboutin.

Please pardon the crooked scan!
Lookee at what I found in this week’s New York Times Style section. Have a real “Hello, lover” moment and meet the maestro himself at Barney’s! He’ll be at the New York and Beverly Hills stores in early May.
Our Baker - Sweet As Cake
April 29th, 2008 @ 4:52 pm by Mrs. Flamingo
Even though we have a dessert included in our 5 course meal, I’ve always wanted to have a wedding cake and the extra dessert wasn’t going to stop me. Just more sugar for my buttocks - for better or worse right? What’s great though, is that Mr. Flamingo will have his ultimate favorite dessert at the end of our meal, and I will have a beautiful wedding cake. It’s a win win situation.
We decided to hire Sophie of Les Fantaisies de Sophie. She is really talented and not to mention extremely sweet. Sadly, ten years ago her daughter Catherine was born with a severe handicap and Sophie (our baker) decided to change her career choice to something which allowed her to be with her daughter and give her the attention she deserves. Luckily for us, she became a baker and honestly not only did her story touch me, but her positivity and outlook on life blew me away - we hired her on the spot.
Registering For Big Ticket Items
April 29th, 2008 @ 4:25 pm by Mrs. Toucan
When we first started registering for gifts, Mr. Toucan and I weren’t really sure what price ranges our gifts should fall under. We didn’t want to look like we were asking for too much, but at the same time, we didn’t want to register for things we didn’t really like either. When we registered at Macy’s (I know a lot of people here don’t like the Macy’s registry, but it’s easy for our guests), they provided us with a little guideline of how many gifts we should register in each price range. The registry consultant also suggested that we add a few “big ticket items” to our registry. This made me feel a little uncomfortable. What would guests think when they saw a $400 price tag on ONE item? Would they think we were greedy, asking for something so expensive?
In the end, I figured we had enough items at different price points in our registries, so I added this bad boy:

What’s Goin’ On?

Our venue can be a little tricky to navigate, so as soon as guests exit the elevators, they’ll be greeted by this little number:
Cocktail Hour and a Clown…
April 29th, 2008 @ 3:30 pm by Mrs. Onion
After our walk up the marketplace from the church to our reception, all our guests were greeted by Amaretto Sours. Our cocktail hour was held outside on the patio in front of the restaurant. Our guitarist, Brendan Burns, was there to set the mood playing wonderful jazz standards and people really began to enjoy the party.
Mr. Onion and I steal a quick kiss as we enjoy our drink.

He-llo, Lov-ah!
Have you seen Turq jewelry?
Splendiferous!
Check out my favorites from their bridal line, named after married lay-days:
Things That Make Miss Gingerbread Cry
April 29th, 2008 @ 2:38 pm by Mrs. Gingerbread
My heart skips a beat when I find pictures of “outside of the box” couples on their wedding day. It can be difficult in my own wedding planning to try to superimpose ourselves into the “traditional” wedding, so I enjoy seeing how other people challenge the status quo in a way that celebrates their love, individuality, and style. I was thrilled to come across the wedding of Aly and Elroi, who were featured last year on Offbeat Bride. Apparently, their friends not only made their cake and invitations, but also Aly’s dress and Elroi’s suit! That’s amazing!
We’re Baaaaaaack!
April 29th, 2008 @ 2:02 pm by Mrs. Tulip
Well, it’s official. We’re back from our honeymoon. Let the long years of married life begin!
Our honeymoon started in San Francisco. We took a few days to see the city (best tips: ride the city’s 1940s streetcars, and check out the food stalls at the Ferry Building) and met with several friends, including the lovely and talented Mrs. Eggplant.
Unfortunately, I was under the weather part of the time, and Mr. T had to go to one dinner without me. He took this pic to show to the other couple, lest they accuse him of having made up the whole wife thing:
Weddingbee Intern Update
April 29th, 2008 @ 1:58 pm by Mrs. Bee
We’re overwhelmed by the response we received for the Weddingbee wiki intern position!
We have so many resumes to go through, please give us through the weekend to respond to all your inquiries. In the meantime, I noticed that not everyone had experience with wikis. That’s ok - I had never edited a wiki before we set up the Weddingbee wiki! But you should definitely try it out to see whether you enjoy it. Here’s a link to some of the key pages:
Don’t be shy about editing or creating articles - it’s a wiki, so you really can’t break the site. Good luck!
