I had my hair and makeup trial w/Sashiko yesterday, and she was awesome. She’s very friendly and so nice. We tried a bunch of hairstyles, and she really listened to what I wanted and made some helpful suggestions as well. I love the hair, and the makeup is how I wanted it.
Without further ado… (BTW please ignore the stupid faces I’m making in the…

I will be going for my hair and makeup trial with Sachiko this week. I’m so excited! I was thinking of looking for some sparkly clips and pins to use in my hair. But other than my veil, camera, and examples of how I would like to do my hair & makeup, what else should I bring? What did you bring to your makeup trial?

There’s going to be a winter storm tonight in the NYC area, and I got this in my e-mail. I would love to go - I could use some Bahamas R&R. It’s extremely cheap too. Just thought I should pass this along in case anyone is interested. It would make a nice mini-moon also.

As the time draws closer to my trip to Thailand, my first fitting, and not to mention the actual wedding date, I realize that I need to start buffing up and losing some weight fast! My ultimate goal is to lose about 30lbs by my 1st fitting - which thankfully will not be until mid summer. However I do need to shed some pounds by…

Along with my hair trial, Sachiko is also going to be doing my makeup trial. I’ve been looking at a few pictures, and here are the ones I’ve liked so far.

Next month I will be going for my 1st hair/makeup trial with Sachiko Yanase (the same person that Miss Orange had her trial with), so I’ve been looking through some hair and makeup ideas. I know for sure that I want my hair to be half up, just because my think I look funny with all my hair pulled back. Here are some of the…

While in the midst of my wedding planning, I got to reminiscing about my cousin Khonnie’s wedding. She got married a few years ago in Palm Beach, FL and my entire family flew in. I had a blast! It’s always such a warm feeling when your whole family gets together. Here are some pictures:

After we got engaged my FI and I moved in together. Right now we are living in a 1 bedroom apartment in Long Island close to where we both work. Prior to that we were both still living with our parents. We are planning to buy a home for ourselves in a few years, when Mr. Orchid is finished with his residency. Planning and financing…

A few months after we got enagaged, I moved in with my FI. One of the biggest topics that was brought up, was how we would share the expenses. We decided that we would open up a joint checking account to pay for the living expenses and a joint savings as well, because we were planning to pay for the wedding ourselves. Aside from that,…

Work has finally calmed down for me back to wedding planning. My next item on the list is finding a videographer. I’ve been debating for a while now whether or not to hire a videographer. At first I was leaning towards no, but after talking to many brides, I’ve opted to look for one. Not so much because all of the ones I spoke to…

Hubby and I have been officially married for one month. Wherever we go the hot question seems to be “So how does married life feel?” And our answer as always is that nothing has changed. We feel the same as we did 1 month ago, 2 months ago, 3 months ago… you get the idea.
Most people’s reaction to this is a little bit of…
