The Bluebells’ Ceremony Pictures

August 14th, 2007 @ 9:32 am by Mrs. Bluebell

All photos by the ultramagnificent Jane Heller.

One of the signs around the house indicating locations of the ceremony/reception/house/etc. With the help of one of my cousins and my maid of honor, I just sketched the rough letter outlines in pencil and we filled them in in black sharpie! Very simple and easy, and no one could ever tell it wasn’t handpainted without getting up really…

The Calm Before The Storm

August 9th, 2007 @ 1:19 pm by Mrs. Bluebell

A few photos by the phenomenal (I’m starting to run out of superlative adjectives to use for her!) Jane Heller of the ceremony site, and around the house, from right before the ceremony while I was getting ready.

The house that morning, with the ladder still up from when my psycho-helpful friends were hanging the glass bottles in the tree.

Showing A Little Love

August 8th, 2007 @ 1:03 pm by Mrs. Bluebell

I got each of my bridesmaids a customized tote from LL Bean, personalized with a color scheme that (I hope!) they liked, and with my nickname for them embroidered on it. The options I chose were the medium totes with long handles and the zip top. My main beef with totes in general is that when they don’t zip I’m always paranoid something will fall…

Cake From Mirabelle’s

August 7th, 2007 @ 11:01 am by Mrs. Bluebell

Seeing as Burlington, Vermont was the closest real city to our Adirondack wedding, we tried to find the best cake place there, without looking much of anywhere else.  And the consensus from everyone we talked to and everything I saw online was - that was Mirabelle’s!  Mirabelle’s is a really great cafe that also offers an extensive wedding cake selection! We wanted a non-fondant and…

Blomma Flicka Flowers

July 27th, 2007 @ 5:33 pm by Mrs. Bluebell

Post Number…something…about the Bluebell wedding will be about: our flowers! We worked with the incredible Danika of Blomma Flicka, based in Greensboro, Vermont. As I posted previously, we came to her through an amazing instance of kismet, but even with my “wow it’s all working out perfectly!!!” overly high expectations, Danika blew me away! The pictures she brought of various weddings she’d done before were…

Maid/Matron of Honor

July 27th, 2007 @ 1:24 pm by Mrs. Bluebell

I’m going wedding dress shopping today!!!

No, the Bluebells haven’t decided to renew their vows barely a month after the wedding - it’s for my best friend/maid of honor at my wedding, who’s getting married in May, now with me as her maid of honor!

But…saying that got me thinking.  We were both engaged at the same time for a several month long overlap, so we…

A Favor For You, A Favor For Me

July 25th, 2007 @ 1:51 pm by Mrs. Bluebell

When we were first trying to come up with a good idea for favors, we wanted something that would make a unique keepsake nice enough that even someone like the Tchotchke Nazi wouldn’t want to throw it away. That…proved difficult. Every time we came up with a good idea, we’d be all gung ho for a while, and then realize well <insert large group of…

Social Security Is My Friend

July 24th, 2007 @ 5:01 pm by Mrs. Bluebell

So, after my exceedingly difficult time at the DMV last week, I finally dragged myself over, in fear, to the Social Security office in Queens. It took me about an hour to get there because I live way way way closer to the Manhattan office, but hey, that’s okay! I still love you!

I get out, walk about a block, turn into the office, and go…

It’s Always (@#&#% At The DMV

As I posted nearly a year ago, I’ve known what I was going to change my name to for a long time: Firstname Middlename Maidenname Newlastname, with no hyphen, where my last name is simply Mr. Bluebell’s name, but my maiden name serves as a second middle name.

Not so much.

Yesterday I went to the DMV with my marriage license (that said First Middle Maiden New,…

Pro Photos: Bluebell Portraits

First batch of pro photos (by Jane Heller) is portraits of us! Immediately after the ceremony, we took some family photos, enjoyed cocktail hour a bit, then headed down to the lake (Lake Champlain) to get pictures on our family’s land right by the water.

Honeymoontastic! [Part 2 of 2]

July 16th, 2007 @ 6:15 pm by Mrs. Bluebell

And the story continues…

When our time at Anjajavy was over, because of weird flight issues (the Anjajavy private plane that’s the only source of transportation only runs three days per week, and Air France screwed up our return flights), we had nearly two days in Antananarivo (don’t worry, everyone just calls it Tana!) which is an incredibly vital and real, although poverty stricken, African city. We…
