Wedding Blog

A long time ago, I wrote about my MOH, Jasmine. While the wedding fever cooled down for me shortly after our big day, I couldn’t help but catch it again when she got engaged too! We’ll be switching places (her: the beautiful bride, me: so honored to stand next to her) during August this year at a big hotel ceremony in Vegas, and Mr. Plumeria…

My wedding bracelet was an early DIY project that I didn’t actually make specifically to wear on the big day. I just happened to have a bunch of leftover beads and decided to do something with them, and the resulting piece of jewelry was too sparkly to use for any sort of everyday occasion. It so happened that it ended up matching my dress perfectly,…

… has flown by so quickly. Has it really been over a year since we got married?

Since then, my world has still contained more wedding than I could ever have imagined (can you imagine going to nine weddings in one year?!) and all of it has reminded me that there are some things from my own that I never really finished. Like our wedding…

It started with the lighting of candles…

… but I loved my flowers nevertheless! They were exactly what I wanted. I had never seen a sample or anything, so they really took my breath away that day!

Flowers were distributed upon our arrival into the small bride’s chamber…

While we were in the midst of hair and makeup, Mr. Plumeria and the guys were getting ready themselves, just across town. (Again, all photos by GB Photographers, and the normal caveat applies: please don’t take/repost w/out a credit.)

Hello hive! It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

I’ve been married for almost exactly three months now and it has been wonderful — newlywed life, while not as completely rosy-perfect as one might expect before being married, is nevertheless blissful. Since the wedding, we’ve just been settling down and getting used to the new swing of things… but I knew someday I’d come back to share…

Okay, I know I never even finished telling you all about the second half of our actual honeymoon — there are just so many pictures of Disneyworld to get through, I haven’t even touched them! But I thought I’d post about our most recent trip together, just to prove that sometimes, a visit somewhere close to home can be just as exciting and meaningful as…

Hi everyone!

I gotta admit I haven’t been keeping up here as well as I’d thought I would — but that’s only ’cause I’ve been having so much fun hanging out with my new husband. It’s already been two months, and yet I feel like the wedding was only yesterday. I’ll have to share about our recent, second mini-honeymoon later this week after I upload all…

I wasn’t planning for my first entry back into the hive after a mini-hiatus to be such a heavy sort of one, but, in the hopes of helping someone out there… here’s the Plumeria budget. I’ve also tried to link to most of the vendors I used throughout this breakdown — but if you’re interested in more information on anything, feel free to email me!

City: Berkeley,…

Since we were heading to Disneyworld after Yosemite, our stay there was a relatively short one. Our third day at Yosemite was our last, but we made the best of it. On our way out of the park in the afternoon, we first went to Bridalveil Falls. We thought it most appropriate to take a picture in front of this one! The fall is so…

The next day, after the luxury of the night before, we woke up early and headed down to the dining room for breakfast, having heard it was to die for. It was! Mr. Plumeria is excited…

A couple of days after the wedding found Mr. Plumeria and I headed happily three-and-a-half hours away towards Yosemite Valley, ready to enjoy the first half of our two-part honeymoon. Both of us had looked forward to this since we booked our room at the Ahwahnee, over a year beforehand (yes, this is necessary to guarantee a room, especially during the busy season).We arrived rather…
