Mrs. Lovebird, New York/CancunAge and Occupation: 25, AttorneyFiance's Age and Occupation: 25, Medical StudentEngagement Date: September 22, 2006Wedding Date: July, 2008Venue: Dreams Cancun Resort & SpaAbout Me: Born and raised New Yorker planning a destination wedding in Cancun, Mexico and a traditional Chinese banquet in New York City. Got proposed to in Cancun, so it’s only fitting we are going back to get married. I love trivia, board games, bargain shopping, asian dramas and eating yummy food!
I thought I’d share this with the hive cuz I know how much you ladies love boobies. I just got a call from Mr. Lovebird who basically surfs the web all day looking for bargains when he’s not studying his medical books. He told me there was a deal going on for the Natural Bra and I bought four of those babies at GraveyardMall for…
Mrs. Pinot Noir, New York/Napa ValleyAge and Occupation: 24, Health EducatorFiance's Age and Occupation: 31, Market ResearcherEngagement Date: November 10, 2007Wedding Date: October, 2008Blogging Since: June 25, 2008Venue: Auberge du SoleilAbout Me: I am a Minnesota raised, NYC transplant planning a destination wedding in Napa. I'm balancing my love for the environment and my hubby-to-be's love for tradition to create our "green wedding in disguise." Our wedding will include local food and wine, antique touches and lots of love and laughter. When wedding planning isn't taking up my free time (and money) I love to read, cook, workout, watch baseball and travel! Follow along in my adventure as I attempt to plan an eco-friendly and socially responsible wedding (with eco-oblivious Mr. Pinot Noir).
Mr. Pinot Noir and I drove to Fairfield, Connecticut last month for the 2008 Fairfield County Irish Festival to search for his wedding ring! As you may remember, Mr. Pinot Noir and his brothers will be wearing their family kilt for the wedding. He wanted a Celtic two-tone, open knot wedding ring and found a vendor online from Massachusetts who would be at the festival, so…
Mrs. Toucan, BostonAge and Occupation: 25, Full-time Research Assistant, Part-time Graduate StudentFiance's Age and Occupation: 25, ActuaryEngagement Date: February 18, 2007Wedding Date: June 7, 2008Blogging Since: November 07, 2007Venue: St. Catherine of Genoa, Jin Asian Cuisine RestaurantAbout Me: I’m a Gemini to the extreme. On one side, I’m a girly girl. I read countless bridal and fashion magazines, and have an obsession with keeping up with the latest Hollywood gossip. On the other side, I’m a sports fanatic. Despite being a full-time bride-to be, full-time research assistant, and part-time student, I’m also a full-time Red Sox fan from spring training to October, and a full-time Patriots fan from mini-camp to February. I devote almost as much time researching my for fantasy football team as researching for our wedding!
After almost 2 months of married bliss, Mr. Toucan is still not used to wearing his wedding ring! I pretend to get mad, and jokingly say he’s “trying to look like a single guy” again! His reaction is so cute, though. He gets pretty upset with himself for forgetting! So, the past week, after he forgot to wear his ring 3 of the 4 days,…
Mrs. Avocado, SeattleAge and Occupation: 23, StudentFiance's Age and Occupation: 26, ConsultantEngagement Date: July 27, 2008Wedding Date: October, 2008Blogging Since: June 30, 2008Venue: LDS Seattle Temple & Hotel 1000About Me: Somehow this little farm girl found herself a genuine Pole to fall in love and eventually move away to Poland with. I am an LDS bride attempting to plan a private religious ceremony, ring ceremony, seated reception for 100, and an open house while coordinating for guests flying in from across the United States and as far away as Poland. I try to avoid fads, excess waste, and saturated fat. I strongly endorse photography, DDR, calorie counting, rss feeds, cooking, and utilizing your resources.
My last post on the bridal shoot was already ridiculously long, so I thought I would split it up and do a little “behind the scenes” coverage for you on what doing a bridal shoot in Rome is really like. If you thought it was all glitz and glam, those dreams are about to be dashed, my friend.
Miss Champagne, DC/Vail/ColoradoAge and Occupation: 26, Eye DoctorFiance's Age and Occupation: 27, AttorneyEngagement Date: March 13, 2006Wedding Date: February 2009Blogging Since: July 30, 2008Venue: Small church ceremony with mountain-view log cabin receptionAbout Me: I'm a small town mountain girl with a city heart. Found my way to the east coast, and Mr. Champagne kept me here so we're planning a wedding from afar in my hometown Vail, Colorado. I'm secretly obsessed with reality TV, Wii games where I can shoot a gun, country music, and Caesar: Dog Whisperer. I also spend time pretending to golf, backseat driving, having one way conversations with our MinPin Maxwell, loving champagne, and wedding perfecting… I mean, planning. I use way too many repeated symbols and letters when I write, and I'll love Mr. Champagne endlessly…
I’ve always wanted a winter wedding. That is, until I saw a summer wedding in my hometown. Growing up in a small town in the mountains of Colorado, there are limited choices as to where you can tie the knot. Most summer brides opt for an outdoor wedding either on the mountain or somewhere special to the couple within the Vail valley.

My mom has always been a DIY queen, and I'm just now starting to get into it with a new house and a wedding to plan!
As with many bachelorette parties, mine included an assortment of underthings from all of the girls. When we came back to the room from the cabana, I was surprised to see that our small room was opened to the suite next door, leaving a huge living area for us to continue the celebration.
Mrs. Flamingo, Montreal, CanadaAge and Occupation: 25, Graphic DesignerFiance's Age and Occupation: 30, Nursing StudentEngagement Date: December 2004Wedding Date: June 21, 2008Venue: Imperia Hotel (modern chic hotel)About Me: I am a passionate designer who loves anything pretty. I heart all paper products (eco-friendly of course). My passion revolves around anything considered glamour; vintage and modern. In my free time, I love reading Martha mags, designing jewelry and making a pit-stop at Starbucks for a chai latte. I'm also a chocoholic at heart and my family drools over my homemade truffles.
I’m a real fan of stilettos. I have some in pink, turquoise, taupe, brown, black… the list goes on. Not only are they elegant, but simply beautiful, especially in bright shades. Though sometimes, especially at outdoor weddings, they sink into grass, get stuck in cracks and get ruined by pebbles.
Well that’s all history with the SoleMates High Heeler™.
Jennytyum is selling these new, never worn, annabellagio “Francesca” style earrings. She purchased them for $52 and is looking to sell them for $40 OBO with free shipping.
Mrs. Sea Breeze, Vancouver/Dominican RepublicAge in 2008 and Occupation: 30, Communications ManagerFiance's Age in 2008 and Occupation: 29, Experiential Marketing DirectorEngagement Date: October 6, 2007Wedding Date: November, 2008Blogging Since: July 17, 2008Venue: Majestic Colonial Resort, Punta CanaAbout Me: Planning a destination wedding by the sea should be (oh no she di-in't…) a breeze (…*sigh* yep, she did) but when you've never been to the Caribbean, your powers of imagination are really put to the test. Luckily, I'm 90% resourceful, creative optimist (and kooky, neurotic practicalist-if-that's-a-word for the other ten). Other than writing about our week-long celebration of family, friends, laughter and love, I adore books, shoes and… you guessed it… long walks on the beach.
Once I had decided on a purple shoe, the search started in earnest.
I searched high and low. I trudged from store to store, all over Vancouver, Montreal and Seattle. Nada. Well, that’s not entirely true. I did find one pair. ONE PAIR of pretty purple peep-toe pumps–the appropriateness of which was directly in proportion to how desperate I was starting to feel (i.e. not so…

Again, I am going to point out that this is just one more example of how I am “using my resources.” I am lucky enough to have a mother who is a professional wedding photographer.
After spending a few days scouting out locations, we decided that we would do the shoot on Saturday night at the Trevi fountain and also at the Coliseum. We knew that…

Passion: strong feeling or emotion (google definition).
Is that all it is?! Really?! I’ve felt so much more! Come on, google… give me more!
I think of my relationship with Champ as one that kind of began with simple physical attraction and quickly, and I mean quickly, evolved into romance and passionate lovvvvvve. Yeah, well we were college kids, you know?
Mrs. Green Tea, SacramentoAge and Occupation: 30, Tea AnalystFiance's Age and Occupation: 31, Coffee CriticEngagement Date: November 17, 2006Wedding Date: August 23, 2008Blogging Since: June 10, 2008Venue: Vineyard on the DeltaAbout Me: I'm just your average obsessive compulsive, arts & crafts loving, funky-on-the-inside/boring-on-the-outside girl, who dares to say 'Hey! I can make that!' Nerdy professional by day, goofy won-ton by night. The won-ton sometimes comes out during the day when I'm fed the dollar breakfast at Ikea. Since our engagement, wedding planning has put me on high alert for bargains and I've been pushing my nimble fingers through callous building experiments!
So yesterday I showed you our table name cards that invoke our invites and also serve as ice breakers. Today I will share a couple extra tidbits also incorporated with this detail:
Keepsake for the World Record Holder - bookmark made out of our invitation
The Infamous Table 9
Let’s start with the keepsake: I’m told that one of Mr. Green Tea’s aunts is the record holder for being the biggest collector of…
Mrs. Pomegranate, SacramentoAge and Occupation: 27, Technical SpecialistFiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Software EngineerEngagement Date: August 23, 2007Wedding Date: October, 2008Blogging Since: June 5, 2008Venue: R.H. Phillips WineryAbout Me: Hi, I'm Miss Pomegranate and I'm a shopaholic. I have a weak spot for the chic cheap - especially anything I can re-create on the DIY. Shoes are my vice, music is my passion in life and technology is the medium by which I live and work. When I'm not scoping out a sale, I'm spending my quality time training for a marathon, playing Wii with my fiance and snuggling with my Silver Labrador and Teacup Panther - and oh yeah, planning my wedding!
My lovely Niece-in-Law Pom will be the Flower Girl in our wedding. Not only do I love this girl to pieces, but she is gorgeous and smart to boot! How lucky of a future Aunt am I? I knew that I needed to find an amazing dress for little NIL Pom to wear while she’s walking down the aisle.
After many, many online searches, I stumbled upon…
