About Me: I am a passionate designer who loves anything pretty. I heart all paper products (eco-friendly of course). My passion revolves around anything considered glamour; vintage and modern. In my free time, I love reading Martha mags, designing jewelry and making a pit-stop at Starbucks for a chai latte. I'm also a chocoholic at heart and my family drools over my homemade truffles.
Like my fave Disney movie song says so well, “Go on and kiss the girl.” (I know you all know what movie I am talking about. Here’s a hint: she’s a mermaid.) I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate our new life together!
Once the ceremony was finished, it was like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. No more pressure of screwing up…

Taking pictures (and more pictures) is what a wedding is all about, so here is part 2 of Strike a Pose! We decided to rent some vintage inspired lamp posts to recreate a park, circa the 1950s.
The result was beautiful pics with an awesome backdrop.

Last time we left off, we were in posing mode; first I strutted my stuff, then it was Mr. Flamingo’s turn. Well, my girls (my sisters and cousin) were anxious to take some pictures, so we got ready to strike a pose.

The morning of, the photographer stopped by the best man’s house to take pictures of the boys getting ready and to snap a couple of shots here and there. Both Mr. Flamingo’s parents were there as well to help him get ready for the big day.
Not many shots were taken, and the photographer didn’t seem to catch the little moments/details that were so important to…

Hello hive! I’ll start off by pretending that I haven’t been MIA for the last 4 months and will continue my recap posts where I left off. Looking through my Glamnuptials posts, I realized that I’ve been writing them all wrong. I’ve been going back and forth with no story line. Where has my head been? I’m gonna get my act together and continue the…

When Mrs. Bee asked the question on the boards, “Why do you love Weddingbee?” it was natural and easy for me to name all the reasons why I love Weddingbee. Seeing it grow and evolve is such a reward.
Mrs. Cupcake said, “Weddingbee completely shaped my wedding.” That is exactly how I felt, so I added, “… thank you to all the bees before me. Your weddings shaped…

I don’t know about you, but I am a fan of wedding related movies. Actually, I have to admit that I’m a girly girl and love all chick flicks. Even though I haven’t seen Bride Wars (don’t worry, it’s on my to-do list), I can never get enough of wedding movies. I saw the trailer for the movie ’The Proposal’, and it looks hilarious. (I…

When I was planning my own wedding, I loved seeing inspiration boards. I couldn’t get enough and I was making myself some as well. It really gave an overall feel of what type of wedding I was going for, and it’s a great starting point to any party planning.
What I loved even more was seeing real wedding inspiration boards and comparing the original ideas with…

Alright I can’t wait any longer and must share this with you. I know I’m not finished doing all my recap posts, but I am way too excited to wait until I am done the recaps. One thing I loved about our wedding was our videographer. We were so lucky to have Wes Jones of Film Jones come to Montreal to film our wedding in 8 mm, not to mention…

I got THE call yesterday… my dress is clean and ready to be stored. So it hit me more that I thought it would. I realized that this was it - that I would probably never wear my dress again, and it really made me sad. If there is one thing in our whole wedding that I absolutely loved and would do again, my dress would be it.…

Hey everyone… in case you don’t remember me, it’s Mrs. Flamingo. I apologize for not being present these past couple of months. Let’s just say that there has been much movement in my life, and because of it I have been way too busy… it’s crazy. (It’s positive - don’t worry. I got a new Graphic Design job that I love.) I absolutely wanted to…

Having the opportunity to do a Day After Shoot is amazing. Now only do you have the chance to get dolled up again, but you can really take the time to pose for pictures since on the wedding day, time isn’t your best friend. On our wedding day, we got some great pictures, but not the kind of pictures I was hoping for.
I wanted something different and unique,…

When we started planning the wedding, Mr. Flamingo and I decided not give each other gifts in order to save that money for something else. At first it seemed to be a good idea, until I found the perfect gift for Mr. F! I knew he would be extremely happy about the gift I chose for him and I honestly didn’t expect anything in return.…

Saying “I do” was magical. It was the moment we dreamed of and it felt like a fairytale that had come true! To add to the already amazing day, we were blessed to have my godmother and my sister-in-law do readings. They were stressed out and nervous about it, but they did a great job!

Our wedding cake was so beautiful! It was literally a show stopper, or should I say a conversation starter. All our guests commented on how unique and glamorous it was, and it made me extremely happy to know that people actually paid attention. We wanted something unique, and thanks to all you readers, we finally had the perfect balance of brown, ivory and design.
