Lemon Day VIII: Purty…Purty Flowers

October 9th, 2007 @ 4:25 pm by Mrs. Lemon

I love flowers, but when it came to the exact flowers I wanted for the wedding, I was clueless. I knew I wanted whites, creams and blues. Oh… and they needed to be naturally arranged as opposed to being symmetric and modern. And pretty…. really really pretty. Thank goodness my florist (Kim England) read through my wants and used her creativity to deliver exactly what I had hoped for!

We kept things pretty simple when it came to our ceremony and the details around it. In fact, we didn’t even decorate the chapel at all! But somehow all the little details still managed to show up in a really beautiful way.

Lemon Day Part VI: The Boys In The Garden

October 5th, 2007 @ 10:59 am by Mrs. Lemon

z112164

Mr. Lemon didn’t want to have any “getting ready” photos taken, so he asked that the boys meet him in the garden behind the chapel a little after 3 o’clock. Everyone was there on-time and by their own accord, so the guys had a little bit of “pow-wow” time away from the bustle of guests arriving before things got started in the church.

About Mrs. Lemon


Once the last dabs of lipgloss were applied, we were out the door and headed down the hill from my Aunt’s house to the chapel. While my mom tried desperately to find a way to use a local trolley as a transportation vehicle, the arrangements just never worked out in managing to transport the guys and gals in a fluid manner. Instead, the girls all drove in one car, while my MOH Audrey and I were chaufeerred by my Dad in his ’37 Ford sedan. So… it saved us some money and worked out MUCH better in the end!

About Mrs. Lemon

After having our makeup done, we headed to my Aunt Kathi’s house to get dressed and ready for the big event. Her beautiful house is just around the corner from the chapel, and she graciously let us use her newly decorated bedroom for all of our staging. While I knew it had just been redone, you must believe that I had no idea how perfectly blue and gorgeous our prepping suite was for our photos!

Lemon Day Part III: The Morning-Of Brunch

October 3rd, 2007 @ 2:19 pm by Mrs. Lemon

Part I: Beauty Shop Prepping
Part II: MAC Attack

Mr. Lemon’s family and friends came from across the country to celebrate with us, but unfortunately, most of them had to catch early flights back east on Sunday morning. So instead of a day-after brunch, his family decided to host a “morning-of” brunch at the house they rented for the week. His dad bought a few too many pastries from the landmark Carmel Bakery and the family got to catch up and relax before the big event. Lucky for us, our photographer stopped by the house (it was right up from the hair salon) to take picture of our rings, and also got to snap some shots of the party.

Lemon Day Part II: MAC Attack

October 2nd, 2007 @ 2:33 pm by Mrs. Lemon

Part I: Beauty Shop Prepping

After getting our hair curled, tucked, flattened and pinned, we headed to DMC (aka. THE MALL) to finish up our makeover time. I had set aside 6 appointments at the MAC counter at Macy’s three months earlier, which happens to have its own section of the store (not just a counter) with full natural lighting and lots of space for the artists to work. Thanks to a slow business day and lots of artists working on a Saturday, we we all done early and the girls even got a little extra shopping in while waiting for their appointment.

Beauty Shop Prepping

October 1st, 2007 @ 4:47 pm by Mrs. Lemon

My wedding day started out with a nice drive by myself to Carmel for a 9am hair appointment at the O Salon. I had scattered out the appointments so that the girls arrived dressed in their rose tank tops a bit later at 10 (enough time for them to wind down from the rehearsal the night before and get their coffee drinking on), and my mom had her appointment at 11:30. It worked out perfectly since no one had to rush or hurry, and with my hair done so early, I could relax and just enjoy time with my girls.

Honeymoon in Leather

September 18th, 2007 @ 2:57 pm by Mrs. Lemon

I took lots of snapshots with my trusty little (so little it fits in an Altoids box!) Optio S camera on our honeymoon, and wanted to turn the memories into some sort of memento. Since my camera is old and only 3 MP, the photos coming out of it aren’t perfect for photobooks, but they aren’t horrible either. I’ve printed hard and soft cover books using MyPublisher and PhotoWorks, so when I happened upon a coupoon for a free large-size leather photobook from Picaboo, I thought I’d take them up on the offer!

Vintage Blue

September 18th, 2007 @ 8:28 am by Mrs. Lemon

I’ve been fielding lots of questions about the color of my bridesmaid dresses, so before I gave all my vendor reviews, I thought I’d clear up the issue. They’re vintage blue and they were part of J. Crew’s fall/early winter ’06 collection. One of the drawbacks to loving someone’s colors from J. Crew is that unless it’s black or navy, you may never see it again. However, right now, J. Crew has brought back the color for their current collection, but this time it’s in silk! (Our dresses were cotton cady)
