Cakealicious

August 12th, 2008 @ 10:59 am by Mrs. Margarita

I’m sorry I’ve been MIA lately—I’m in a last minute scramble for wedding stuff and I will have many things (programs, favors, escort cards) to share in the near future. In the meantime, I’ll give you some visuals of fantastical wedding cakes that make me hungry every time I see them.

Choosing our wedding cake was quite the process. My Mom used to bake/decorate cakes in Sri Lanka so…

Zebras Are Coming to Our Wedding

August 5th, 2008 @ 5:00 pm by Mrs. Margarita

I just flew back to LA tonight to work on our wedding, which is coming up in less than 30 days! It’s freaking me out a little bit, but some deep breathing, Coffee Bean and So Cal sunshine should help.

I am going on a site visit/inspection tomorrow with our wedding coordinator, the fabulous Mary Sushinski from Occasions To Remember and a team of our…

Medicine For Tired Soles

July 31st, 2008 @ 3:38 pm by Mrs. Margarita

Thanks to everyone who gave me some great ideas/advice for my heel dilemma. Yesterday I went online shopping and bought foot petals, insolias and superfeet. I figure one or maybe some crazy combination of them all will ease the pain. Now I am praying for mojo and hunting for a pair of flats, wedges or flip flops to wear if I can no longer move…

Must Love Shoes

July 30th, 2008 @ 11:28 am by Mrs. Margarita

I love shoes. Maybe a little too much. So when it came to my wedding shoes, I was in all out shoe mania mode. Especially since photographers take some fabulous pictures of your wedding shoes as seen in the shoe style posts regularly featured on The Bride’s Cafe.

I had dreams of Louboutins, Giuseppe Zanottis and Manolos. Then I found her. Prada Silk Cristal Pumps! Gold…

Call Me Miss Margilocks

July 28th, 2008 @ 2:51 pm by Mrs. Margarita

My love for photography started in my high school photo class and has been with me ever since. So naturally when we started planning for the wedding, I went on a mad hunt to find a photographer that blew me away. Turns out there are some seriously fabulous photographers in the LA area, but for some seriously expensive prices. A lot of my cost issues…

Man(zanita) Love!

I’ve shown the hive my bridal party floral ideas, so next up is the ceremony and centerpieces. These are some of the pictures I brought along with me when I went to visit/interview florists. Just a bit of advice - it helps immensely to bring inspiration pictures when you visit a florist. They will get a good idea of the look/theme/vibe you are going for, and…

That title has nothing to do with anything, but that song is stuck in my head. Now I bet I’ve successfully gotten in stuck in your head too (muhahaha <— that’s my satisfied evil laugh).

A Fan of Flowers?

July 21st, 2008 @ 3:43 pm by Mrs. Margarita

I stumbled across Olivia Oberlin from my daily perusal of various wedding blogs and I fell in love. I think her fans are absolutely gorgeous and I am sure incredibly expensive (no prices on the website). Her fans got me thinking that it could be unique and beautiful for my bridesmaids to carry a fan adorned with fresh flowers instead of a bouquet. I’m thinking…

Bachelorette Party Extravaganza

July 19th, 2008 @ 12:29 pm by Mrs. Margarita

My bachelorette was last weekend in NYC and I had SO much fun! My MOH kept everything a secret from me so I didn’t really know what to expect. Each day she gave me an envelope of what was in store for me for that day.

About Mrs. Margarita

Our invitations took me forever to finalize. I fussed and fretted over every little detail from line thickness to wording. I changed the paper, the design and I think lost my mind in the process. But I am SO glad I did because I ended up with these beauties:

I’ve been dragging out these ceremony posts (1 & 2), so here is the third and final installment of our ceremony. We’ve ridden elephants, been through a parade of drummers and dancers, and now we are about to light a fire.

Mr. Marg and I haven’t quite figured out how to make a smooth transition from the Poruwa ceremony to the Hindu ceremony, so I’m just…

Bridesmaid and Flowergirl Loot

July 10th, 2008 @ 3:15 pm by Mrs. Margarita

I thought I’d interrupt my posts on our ceremony to show the hive my bridesmaids and flowergirl outfits and their associated bling. My Mom and I went to Mumbai in December for one insane week of shopping and picked this all up in addition to 4 entire suitcases of saris, gifts, jewelry, etc.

I wanted to find four matching saris for my bridesmaids in a deep…
