My dress!

Champ… if you’re taking a break from Fantasy Football or video games to browse Weddingbee, I ask you stop reading. Oh, and if you’re reading Weddingbee, that probably means you have some time to put away that laundry of yours I folded last week. Xo.

My dress is finally here in all its champagne goodness!

It’s Halloween, so why not have a little fun with some wedding tricks and treats!

OK. All I have for you today is tricks!

Yep, that’s the good old “Help Me” on the bottom of the groom’s shoes. Best executed in a church wedding where kneeling is involved, this trick gets the guests laughing while leaving the couple clueless. Note to self: Check the bottom of Mr.…

Today Mrs. Cupcake is selling 200+ silver chargers! She purchased them from save-on-crafts.com for $2.10 each, and would like to sell them for $1.75 each, or $350 for the entire lot (a savings of over $250). She’s looking to sell them to a Philly/Delaware/NJ bride, since they are heavy to ship. They were only used once for her September wedding!

Have a wedding item for sale?…

First and foremost, hap-BEE Halloween!

And now for a topic that really scares me: choosing tuxes for Mr. Spring Roll and his groomsmen. Mr. Spring Roll and I know zilch about tuxes; in fact, I don’t think he’s ever worn one. If it were up to him, he would wear a tuxedo shirt.

… I’m talking about hair, but I suppose you can describe me that way too.

My hair, if you recall (if you don’t, mouse over my chees-y icon and you’ll see a pic of me) is short. In fact, it’s much shorter than it appears in that picture because it’s a graduated cut so the front is much longer than the back.

I love having short…

You’ve been asking… I’ve been wishing… we’ve all been waiting… and finally, our first “batch” of Trash the Dress pics were blogged!

I’m really excited that these are the first we’re seeing, because it was with our favorite photographer of the day: the adorably sweet and fun Jordana Taylor Hazel of Hazelnut Photography!

Jordana and her similarly swoonable hubby Chris (aka her bad-ass assistant) found us late…

I was completely surprised that our ceremony was exactly one hour long, maybe even a little less, considering all of the Spanish traditions that we included in our ceremony. We were so on top of things time wise, that I waited in the bridal room for almost two hours before I could see Mr. H again!

Here are some highlights of when we finally said our…

Five years ago today — Friday, October 31, 2003 — I met a boy. I thought this boy was cute, despite his mullet wig, but I had no idea that this boy would soon become the love of my life, my husband, and my family.

It is hard to believe all that has happened in five years. We met, we fell in love, and we dated…

I’d have labeled myself a “DIY novice” before we got engaged. I’d always been interested in creative things, but I never really invested any time or energy into paper creativity before discovering Weddingbee. So, there were a TON of things that I had to buy to get going on my paper projects. Some tools were frivolous, but others, I couldn’t live without, and I wanted to share…

Two of my bridesmaids recently asked me, “Would you mind if I cut my hair?”. I was a little taken aback before responding, “Of course not! Why would I mind? Honestly, the last of my worries is the length of your hair.”

Apparently, and I’ve heard this from multiple people, brides are usually not very enthusiastic about their bridesmaids cutting their hair before the wedding. To be honest,…

I’m going to try to make this as short as possible (no promises… I’m quite the blabbermouth once I get started, I know) as my evenings are now filled to the brim (make that, “overflowing”) with last minute wedding preparations. It’s now T minus 13 days until we leave… but I have soooo much to tell you about still!! Ack!

Way back in the spring when…

Congratulations to the winner, Springbride!

 I absolutely love to give gifts, so lately I’ve been thinking about what to get my girls to thank them for being so awesome.

First, I was thinking we all needed something cute to wear.

By 7:00 AM, I was wide-awake. To be honest, I barely slept. The adrenaline, anxiety, and sheer joy of the moment hindered me from sleeping. I kept eyeing the alarm clock about every hour thinking, “Is it time to get up?” Since we decided to not see one another before the wedding ceremony, I kissed Mr. Cookie goodnight and spent my last night as a…

Most of the decisions we have to make while planning weddings can be passed off as rather trivial in comparison with things like the economy, political matters, and the many other issues we see on the news and hear about on the radio every day. However, there are a few times when a bride, groom, or a couple may be faced with a choice that…
