So Happy to Meet You!

June 20th, 2008 @ 9:25 am by Mrs. Hydrangea

Wednesday night I was fortunate enough to attend a wedding event at the Crescent Hotel in Dallas featuring Preston Bailey. I have so much to share about the night, and pictures yet to download, but I just wanted to share a little story about the night.

My mom and one of my bridesmaids were sitting in the room waiting for Preston Bailey to give his speech,…

Aggravating Wedding Issue

June 19th, 2008 @ 11:43 am by Mrs. Hydrangea

There is one issue that I’ve noticed while wedding planning that has become one of my greatest aggravations: parking.

Image found here

When we went to visit venues, they paid for our parking. When Mom H and I went to wedding events, we usually received a sticker to cover our parking. So why, I ask, do venues charge you for parking? I wouldn’t ever ask our guests to…

I Caved

June 18th, 2008 @ 3:19 pm by Mrs. Hydrangea

Last week I posted about my hunt for an inexpensive little clutch to use at the wedding. You all voted and my mind was made up … I was going to buy this in navy blue:

#24744 - Gathered Satin Clutch, 10″ x 5″ x 2″ for $28 from La Regale

But then, our own Miss Sundae posted about the infamous J Crew clutch on sale that many of…

Fancy a Flight?

June 16th, 2008 @ 11:55 am by Mrs. Hydrangea

I grew up with the understanding that, on the night of the rehearsal dinner, the bride and groom present their parents with gifts of appreciation. I loved the idea and Mr. H and I really like the idea of honoring the people who raised us to be who we are today.We decided early on that we were going to get nice gifts for each of…

For the Girls…

June 13th, 2008 @ 6:23 pm by Mrs. Hydrangea

Since I’m pretty sure none of my bridesmaids read WB, I wanted to share with you my first gift to them. I knew from the start that I wanted to give them some sort of a bag. My original thought was to create a tote with my Hydrangea logo and put “Bridesmaid Hydrangea” on each one. I still think this would have been cute, but…

A Bag For My Things

June 4th, 2008 @ 1:14 pm by Mrs. Hydrangea

Since we are planning to go out with a small group of friends after the reception, I would like to have a little clutch with me, for quick makeup fixes and to keep my id and a little cash in. I don’t use clutches very often, so I just want something small, satin and navy blue to match my shoes … oh yeah, and inexpensive.

Boxes… and More Boxes

June 3rd, 2008 @ 1:34 pm by Mrs. Hydrangea

A little over a year ago, Mr. H and I were fortunate enough to be able to build our first home. We had been apartment dwellers for quite a while and, once we knew that we were going to get engaged and our leases were up, we decided to take the next step towards getting our own home.

Fast forward to a year after we move…

Five Fabulous Frames

May 30th, 2008 @ 4:58 pm by Mrs. Hydrangea

Another one of my Memorial Day weekend trips was taken to Hobby Lobby. I love this store. It seems like every time I walk in there, whatever I’m looking for is 50% off. This trip was no different! I knew that I wanted to put about five picture frames on the guestbook table - two pics from my bridal portraits, and three from our engagement portraits.

Are You Thirsty?

May 29th, 2008 @ 4:31 pm by Mrs. Hydrangea

For our OOT bags, I knew that I wanted to put in a couple of bottles of water with our logo on them. Since water doesn’t go bad, I figured I might as well get these knocked off my to do list. I decided to use Nestle bottles of water because the labels are the easiest to remove. I took off a label, measured it,…

Saving My Back

This post is a little more TMI then I normally like to put on here, but I think it’s important to bring up because I know I’m not the only girl who has this problem. I’ve fought on and off with acne my entire life. Right when things start to clear up in one area, they pop up in another. Right around dress fitting time,…

About Mrs. Hydrangea

While we won’t be assigning each guest to a specific seat, we will be assigning guests to specific tables. Because Mr. H and I come from very different families and cultures, we didn’t want his side of the family on one side of the room and mine on the other. We are having a buffet/stationed dinner so assigning a specific seat wasn’t necessary (phew! I…

I know that I talk about my photographer a lot on here, but I just can’t help it!

What is so awesome about this wedding is how completely unique it is, from cowboy boots to feathers in the flowers, toy guns to chunky turquoise…

My Second Piece

A couple of months ago, I entered for a chance to receive a hair piece from Castle Bride Couture at a fraction of the price and won!  Last weekend when I bought a second dress, the girls at Warren Barron happened to have pieces similar to the one that I ordered and it looked awesome with my dress.

So now, without further ado, I introduce you…
