After Wedding Photoshoot
August 14th, 2008 @ 1:18 pm by Mrs. Orchid
On a slightly chilly October day, I woke up early, took my gown out of the closet, and slipped it on. I was a bit upset that the dress actually fit looser than it did on my wedding day!
Anyhooo, Mr. Orchid and I went into Manhattan to meet with our friends Katya & Arthur of Story Motion Studios. They also did my fantabulous Atlantic City shots. 
After a long day of romping around the city my my gown I’m sooo happy that I got some great shots! Here’s a small sample!

Trash The Dress Bash
August 31st, 2007 @ 11:12 am by Mrs. Orchid
I took off from work early a couple weeks ago to make it to a Trash the Dress bash in Atlantic City. I drove 2 hours from NYC to meet the group there at 5:00pm, and I got there just in time. About 11 brides showed up where the famous Mark Eric and Jason Dominguez greeted us. We were taken up into a suite to get changed and ready for the shoot. It was lively to say the least in the suite, with all the girls running around getting ready, and doing hair and make up. There was also a camera crew there from Germany documenting the bash.
Be Our Guest… Part I
August 30th, 2007 @ 4:23 pm by Mrs. Orchid
It’s countdown time for me - I have but one month ’til my wedding. Eek! So much to do so little time! My RSVPs had been coming en masse, but now it’s down to a slow trickle and I still have those that we are hounding down. To those that have written a little ditty, or a congrats, or blessings on our RSVPs, I thank you. But those that didn’t write anything… booo booooooo to you! 
When I pull the cards outta my mailbox and I see nothing written on it, I literally “booo” aloud.
I’ve been putting my RSVPs in a scrapbook that I will leave at the sign-in table for people to peruse through when they come in. Then they can see what they, and others wrote, and of course to those that didn’t write anything… feel like a loser for not writing anything! But I’m glad you’re attending! 
I Need Orgasm
July 5th, 2007 @ 5:03 pm by Mrs. Orchid
First off, get your mind out of the gutter. 
I’m talking about lip color/lipstick for my wedding day. My absolute most favorite lipcolor in the world is Orgasm, by NARS. Unfortunately it only comes in a lipgloss. I need something that’ll last. I don’t just want an orgasm that’ll last to my first drink, I want a long lasting one, damn it! *ahem*
What’s not to love about this color?? It has a sheer, warm, pinkish-coral tone with a touch of golden shimmer. I can’t believe NARS doesn’t make a long-wearing lip color in this. My hunt first brought me to Sephora. I think my hand had a bajillion different smudges of lip color on it and to my dismay, none even remotely came close to Orgasm. 
So I turned to MAC. They have a great selection of long-wearing lipcolor, and I was thrilled to find something that came close enough for government work, to the NARS Orgasm. However, I had to get a little creative. What I got was:
-MAC Pro-Longwear Lustre Lipcolor in ‘Luv-4-Ever’
-MAC Lustreglass in ‘Instant Gold’
-MAC Lip Pencil in ‘Subculture’
Hearts Stamps!

When Can I See You Again…
June 15th, 2007 @ 3:50 pm by Mrs. Orchid
As my 1st fitting date draws closer, I am nervous about losing enough weight in time. But I’m just waiting and counting the days until I can see her again. Here are some picture of when I went to try on my gown, as soon as it came in a few months ago. I love her…
Sweetie if you’re reading this STOP NOW!!!~

Invitations Finally!
June 8th, 2007 @ 6:02 pm by Mrs. Orchid
Taking a good picture of my invitations has proven to be quite the challenge. First off, they are printed on this beautiful pearlescent paper that has this beautiful shimmer. However when you take a picture of it, that beautiful shimmer turns into an ugly over exposed glare. 
And on top of that, the crappy lighting in my apartment doesn’t help much either. But here they are folks! I tried my best. Without further ado, I present to you my invitations, that are printed in not one, not two, but THREE different languages! Haha…
Invite front:
Let Me Entertain You
June 4th, 2007 @ 5:45 pm by Mrs. Orchid
What kind of entertainment will you be having at your wedding? Miss Emerald’s Post got me thinking about this. Because other than the traditional slideshow (which I have been procrastinating making), I am also considering having a few performances at my wedding.
From when I was about 8 years old up until college, I have been part of my temple’s music and dance troupe. As far as I can remember, Thai traditional dance has been a part of me growing up. Whether it was waking up early for practice, or staying up waaaay late for more practice before a big show. We performed everywhere: The Metropolitan Musesm of Art, Harvard, Rutgers, Concert Halls–even overseas. The list goes on and on. All of the money we made went to the temple, and to charities for children in Asia (mainly Thailand); but there were some proceeds that went elsewhere. Read more…
