Like many of you, 2008 has had its fair share of ups and downs for Mr. Peep and I.

Part I

Here is the second and final installment of the Bee ornament exchange.  The only parameters we set was that the ornament had to be under $15.  Check out more bee creativity below!

Mr. Spring Roll and I made a very exciting trip yesterday, one that I have been anxiously awaiting.

If the title didn’t give it away, here’s a hint:

So, Mr. D’orsay has drafted up a few versions of our invites for you to vote on!

I don’t want to taint the vote by telling you our favorites, but I think Nick is pretty amazing because they’re all quite cute! We’ve decided to forgo the adorable pocketfolds (le sigh) and the accordion because of cost. But I’m still pretty pleased with how I think they’ll…

The peeps over at Foot Petals emailed us a nice thank you because our Bees have raved about Foot Petals many times on Weddingbee!  They also sent us this promo code offering all our readers 30% off your next online order through December 31st — I’m ordering some right now!  These are a fantastic gift for your bridesmaids — their feet will thank you!

Like all Bees before me, let me start off by saying how EXCITED I am to be here! When I found out that I was chosen to be the newest bee, I was at work and had to run into the presentation binding room to jump up and down and squeal! Stalking, err, perusing, Weddingbee is one of my favorite pastimes and I am honored…

Everyone knows how amazing StillMotion’s videography is. If I had an extra $5,000 or so in the budget, I would hire them in a heartbeat! So talented!

But did you know that StillMotion ALSO does photography? Color me impressed! Check out some of my favorites from their blog.

When Obama became President-elect, Mr. G really wanted to keep a commemorative issue of the L.A. Times from November 5, 2008 showing Obama’s historic win. I was brainstorming ways to display this big piece of history without seeming over-the-top. I am sharing what I came up with because it led me to an important post-wedding project that I really want to create.

Memory box frames! (Are…

Reader Pamelalamb is selling 10 daisy pomanders. They are made with faux daisies glued into Chinese lanterns. They were hung from shepherd’s hooks to line her aisle. She is asking for $75 for all pomanders, plus shipping.

Hey everyone, remember me? *waves sheepishly* Hope you’re having a happy holiday!

I’m sorry to have been so incommunicado since my last post. I’ve been in Chicago, which is super fun and exciting, but has provided precious little downtime in which to sit and organize my thoughts, much less write about them. But, I’m feelin’ the sentimental New Years Eve-ness today, and wanted to throw in…

Hi hive. It’s Miss Champagne. Remember me? The holidays have come and gone and a lot has happened! I’ve consumed more champagne and holiday cookies than I would like to admit. Any previously lost pounds have been gained back, Champ finally revealed our honeymoon destination (I whined so much that he told me!), and our invites are in the mail! Following the Christmas rush, I…

One of the best ideas Snapsisters L and A have had (my two MOHs) was to throw me a lingerie shower while I was in Texas. This was SO NICE of them, and an added benefit was that all but two of my sisters could attend. The lingerie shower turned into a bit of a bachelorette party, which meant that any…

Good things come in pairs! Help me welcome our newest destination wedding bee, Miss Quiche!

If you can name the movie that I stole that title from, you get mad props.

In any case, today I will tell you the story of how Mr. D’orsay and I met.

I had been living/working in Tucson, Arizona (GO WILDCATS!) and had traveled a TON in the past month or so. So much, that I had several open suitcases form various trips that I had…

Hello All!

My fiance and I got engaged two months ago and we are really ahead of the game (I think) as far as planning goes.  We are getting married 8/29/09 and I have been very excited about everything until a couple of days ago and now I need some help!  My brother and sister-in-law just announced that they are expecting another child who will be…
