My previous post mentioned these cookbooks from my bridal shower.
People close to me know that I am a horrible cook. On top of that, I don’t enjoy cooking. I really don’t like the idea of following instructions in such detail that one tiny teaspoon will ruin the entire meal. I realize that I have to follow instructions first before I can create meals on my own,…

I had the best bridal shower I could have ever dreamed of! Seriously, I cannot put into words how thankful and surprised I was to have had so many amazing woman devote so much of their time and energy into making my bridal shower the best day for me.

I was very cautious in making sure that our tables looked decorative, yet not overcrowded and messy. Originally, we were going to use name cards placed on napkins, but after realizing our tables needed an extra thing or two, I added these…

One of the highlights of the wedding was when our bridesmaids performed a “special song” during the reception. It was supposed to be kept a secret from me, but it slipped from my aunt’s mouth. Despite the fact that I knew what they were going to do, I had such a great time watching their performance. On top of that, all our guests absolutely LOVED it!

O Weddingbee how I missed you! On top of the post-wedding and post-honeymoon busy-ness, we just moved into a new apartment this past weekend so it’s been quite hectic here. Once everything has settled down I will post everything and more, but for now here are a few pictures from our studio pictures taken by Dowan Kim from MiLK Studios. (You might remember him from…

I remember seeing a few Bees create newsletters for their bridesmaids, and I loved the idea! My bridesmaids are scattered all throughout the country — three live in Atlanta, one in Texas and the other three are here in New York, including my sister who is the MOH. Since most of my BM’s would not be able to search for dresses with me, I knew…

Most of us have seen Sex and the City: The Movie. Remember the part where Jennifer Hudson’s character describes where she got her Louis Vuitton Denim pathwork purse?

I’ve never “borrowed” anything from this site, but I was checking it out the other day and realized they not only have bags and clothes, but they also have jewelry! Amazing and beautiful “perfect for wedding day”…

… I bought another pair for the wedding. I know, I’m so bad. You already saw my first pair, but I fell victim to the ridiculous late nights and even more ridiculous early mornings of this crazy thing called BLACK FRIDAY! I had been eyeing these shoes since they first came out, but didn’t want to pay the original price. So I waited and waited… and come…

Our photographer, Dowan, owns and runs MiLK Studios in Atlanta, Georgia. He and his fiance flew all the way up to New York a few months ago to take our engagement pictures. We really wanted to take e-pics in New York because we live here and love this city.
We started off in Central Park and ended in Times Square. We spent an entire day with…

Wedding dress shopping was very easy for me. We went to two places - the first place was filled with amazing couture dresses, but they were way out of my price range. We then visited David’s Bridal. I tried on a total of four dresses and without much hesitation I picked the second dress. I didn’t have a “this is the dress” moment and neither MamaBlush nor SisterBlush cried. Despite…

I was back in Atlanta for a week of wedding madness. It’s almost FIVE weeks away! Things are slowly chugging along, and to my surprise I’m not stressed yet.
We visited the reception site and went over many many details, one of which were the chair sashes!
We asked Angela, our reception site coordinator, if she could find us dark gray…

Please excuse my lack of posting… with exams, applications, apartment searching, and less than TWO months before our wedding… it’s been a whirlwind here in the Blushpack. With that being said, I can not believe we have less than two months!

As mentioned in an earlier post, we wanted our colors to reflect the special qualities of our wedding. After realizing that ash grey could mean about 100 different shades of grey, and no one could really pinpoint the color peach, I knew we wanted to create an inspiration board. So where else to turn but the Weddingbee Wiki!
I wanted to create something fabulous, like Mrs. Flamingo’s Polyvore…
