Back when I first started mapping out the details of our wedding day, I knew our (OK, my) style was leaning towards a more traditional and elegant wedding. Our venue was determined partially for looks, but mostly for convenience and costs. I also picked the car to serve as the inspiration for the colors. But, a signed contract with a venue, a set of complementary…

We woke up on Day 5 of our cruise knowing that this was it––the last day on board and the last full day of our honeymoon. Day 5 was a scheduled “Fun Day at Sea”, which is a poor PR spin on a day spent traveling without any port stops. We were on our way to Ft. Lauderdale from Belize and there would be no…

I’m not one to make New Year’s resolutions. I usually set goals for myself throughout the year and do my best to achieve them. But as 2009 comes to a close, I’ve spent a little time reflecting on how great this past year has been for me and what steps I can take to make it a year where I’ll remember the good things. Not…

Question: This Weddingbee blogger set sail on a cruise and left you hanging with a story of a rocking ship.
Answer: Who is Mrs. Deviled Egg?
Yep, that’s me! Our honeymoon at sea was smooth sailing until our third night. We had spent the day in Cozumel, enjoyed dinner with our table mates, checked out the pool party and were settling into…

Here I am, almost seven months after our wedding day, and I am still making wedding-related decisions. But, the things to be decided now are all fun things because they have to do with our wedding album design!
While I sent our photographer, Ticia Mangino, a list of our favorite photos from the day to include on the inside of the album, I didn’t realize that…

I believe wedding inspiration can be found anywhere and at any time. The Christmas season is no exception, no matter what time of year you are getting married. There are so many unique and colorful ornament styles that could be translated into wedding goodness!
To start off this series, I searched the internet for an ornament that was interesting, colorful and featured some sort of pattern.…

Wow! It’s been a while since I posted! I’m still waiting to get my pro pictures on a CD so I can start my recaps, but I found some forgotten pictures on my iPhone for a couple of projects I worked on the week of the wedding. First up: Personalized Matchboxes!
This was just one little detail that was completely unnecessary, but done because I knew…

So, you want to know how it all started with Mrs. Deviled Egg, huh? Well, here goes:
How I found Weddingbee:
I discovered Weddingbee almost a year before Mr. DE and I were engaged. However, weddings weren’t even on my radar at that point. I was searching the ‘net for cute gift wrap for Christmas presents and stumbled upon PaperSource. Being a scrapbooker and general fan of…

You may remember my post about booking our honeymoon cruise with Cozumel on the itinerary and then almost as fast as you could say “Swine Flu” the planned stop was canceled. Well, to our delight, about a week before our departure, Royal Caribbean (and some other cruise lines) decided to reinstate all ports of call for Eastern Mexico. And wouldn’t you know that our cruise…

My choice of favorite color changes all the time. Right before I was engaged, I was all about the pink and brown combo. Before that, I was into oranges and yellows. With wedding planning, I became obsessed with the perfect shade of green. Now, I’ve moved on to the ever-popular Martha Stewart blue and red combo.
When I picked out our wedding color palette, I started…

On day two of our honeymoon cruise we woke up with the boat already docked in Key West, FL. (I think waking up in a different place is one of the coolest things about cruising!)
The ship’s stay was only until 2:00 PM, so we decided to hit up the breakfast buffet in the Windjammer Cafe before disembarking and checking out the area.

As Mr. Deviled Egg and I move through the home purchasing process, it’s a given that I am getting increasingly excited about owning a place we will call our home. I think most of my excitement comes from finally having a place where I… er, we… can do whatever we want as far as painting and decorating. We can really make this place ours!

As I told you before the wedding, we booked a honeymoon cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Enchantment of the Seas. Because we booked about a month before departure, we got an amazing deal on our 6-day, 5-night stay aboard the ship.
Our wedding was on a Sunday and the ship set sail the following Monday from Fort Lauderdale, FL. As you can imagine, we had to get…

Thank you notes. They have to be the most dreaded post-wedding task. (I hear you moaning and groaning right along with me.) I confess that I even gave some thought during the honeymoon in regards to how unappealing the job seemed. Even with the wedding a month behind us, I feel like I just finished writing thank you notes for the shower. Looking at the…

Where I last left off, the girls and I were leaving the Matrix because we learned that there was karaoke going on at another club in Station Square. Dancing was fun, but the place was getting crowded and we were all ready to move on.
We ended up at the Green Room, a venue that usually houses comedians and open-mic nights. We quickly snatched up some…
