2010 April | Weddingbee

Mrs. Oyster, Dallas Age and Occupation: 30, Music Teacher Fiance's Age and Occupation: 46, Art Teacher Engagement Date: January 9, 2009 Wedding Date: July 2010 Venue: The Tower Club About Me: I'm a Texa-Californian with a penchant for sparkly things and a tendency to think a lot. I've been known to sing random songs or dance when there is no music on. My fiance and I love world culture, we love to travel, and we have an incredibly eclectic taste in music. We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to celebrate our marriage with our family & closest friends. We're planning an “urban black-tie” wedding and hope to incorporate our personalities and some of our own interests. We look forward to a life of love, laughter, good music, beautiful art, and to creating our home together with our four (!) cats.

Flowers!

I know I write a lot about dresses, but it might be nice for me to focus on something other than fashion. I realize that I haven’t written much about my favorite floral arrangements! And by the way, I *love* flowers!

I’ve really been drawn to flowers that are kind of in a neutral palette, since that goes with our venue pretty well. I love pink, but don’t like hot pink or “baby” pink. We’ll see what we end up with… but so far, here are my favorites.

I love the idea of tying little bouquets to the aisle chairs. Originally I was set on having rose petals on the floor, but I think this might be more elegant… and easier for our venue to clean up! Plus, they look great with the chivari chairs! Ours are gold, like the ones pictured below: (Photo by Stephen Karlisch).

Ah, the seduction of an “international” relationship. Gee, the movies really set you up to think you’ll be swept away. Of course, I’m thinking more this:

Mrs. Scissors, LaGrange, GA Age and Occupation: 25, Photography & Graphic Design Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Engineering Grad Student Engagement Date: January 1, 2009 Wedding Date: June 2010 Venue: Ceremony - First United Methodist Church; Reception - My parents' house! About Me: I’m a six-foot-three bride with a fifty-foot personality! I love great art, fabulous design, intense color, tons of music, indie photography, watching movies on repeat, and being really awesome. This super-tall, Southern, loud, quirky, neurotic artist is marrying a German, quiet, silly, super-amazing roboticist in an eclectic, funky, fun, snazzy, technicolored June wedding. Anything is game for this shindig, for it is all about us! We’re bringing giant paper cranes, six-foot-tall portraits, fortune cookies, a photo booth, a club-circuit DJ, handcuffs, and possibly a kidnapping to this small Southern town. Watch out, y’all, and try to keep up!

Let’s Hear It for the Boys!

(This video in no way relates to the post, other than the fact that it says “boy.” And, well, is amazing.)

Bridal party gifts haven’t ever been a big question for us—we’ve known what we wanted to give our party members since the very beginning. Something that was important to us was that the gifts be fun, functional, and personalized.

I am under no impression that any of Mr. Scissors’ groomsmen read this stuff, but just for safety’s sake…
