My first attempt at working with our pictures and trying to capture a little video turned out just ok. I played around with it some more and after a couple days this is what I came up with. I used a program that comes free with any apple computer called iMovie. It’s so simple, literally drag and drop, tweak and done!

So what do you…

I put together a little video of pictures from getting ready to the end of the ceremony. It’s my first attempt at making a music video so bear with me.

Hope everyone had a great labor day! I’ll make some more with pictures from the rest of the evening Photos are from our photographer, friends and family.

We finally know where we’re going and I have to say that I’m very excited about it. We’re heading over to Los Cabos, Mexico to an all inclusive resort. We don’t have to worry about food, drinks (alcoholic or non), water activities and they gave us the honeymoon suite.. our room has a balcony facing two infinity pools which also face the ocean!!!!! Kind of…

A friend of mine sent me to a website of his friend who recently got married, and I was instantly in love! Their wedding was like Cinderella!  I noticed their videos most of all since they were quite beautiful, and I asked the bride if she would like to share her most special day with our weddingbee readers. She was more than happy to share it with us!…

Well Mr. Poppy and I were supposed to take our honeymoon in December to Thailand, then stop by Hong Kong for another Chinese banquet. But his work needs him, and so we’re taking a honeymoon during late October. We both decided that we’ll do a formal Chinese banquet in Hong Kong next year and we’ll just enjoy a honeymoon that isn’t as far as Thailand.

So…

This little package of RIT dye is all I needed to dye my lovely snow white crinoline blue! The instructions are there on the package and I literally followed it step by step for the washing machine.  

- Fill your washing machine with hot water, add predissolved dye and 1 tablespoon of detergent.
- Soak your crinoline in warm water. I did mine in the bathtub.
- Follow…

As soon as the wedding was over, we went to our nearby Papyrus and ordered an address embosser from them. We ended up choosing a design that has an “L” (for our last name); our last name is on top and our address is circled around the letter. It’s a nice added finish to the envelopes that have our thank you cards snuggled inside. I wish I could take a picture of…

We’ve decided to go to Thailand for our honeymoon and spend a couple days in Hong Kong and have another Chinese banquet. So excited.

Now all I’m waiting for is our marriage license to come back so I can change all my documents: driver’s license, passport and CCs. Oh… and we have to plan Thailand out hehe.

Any tips?

Mr. Poppy and I are still recovering from our wedding but I thought a review was in order!

Dress: David’s Bridal - Oleg Cassini
Grade: A

I can’t complain too much about my dress. I tried it on, got alterations and that was pretty much it. I loved my dress and loved the bustle that David’s provided. Even though I heard horror stories about DB, thankfully I didn’t…

yes… we used Martha Stewart tissue paper pom-poms as pew decorations!

Here we are again talking about my awesome bridal shower . The theme for the shower was “Honeymoon at Home” and I have to say that I received some really awesome and funny gifts: lover’s die (I got two!), massage oils, bath oils/bubbles, flower petals for the bath, chocolates, champagne and glasses, wine, face masks, photo album and of course lingerie! But when I opened…

Before I even start about what fun I had, I must thank my wonderful bridesmaids: Sami, Angela, Meli, In Young and Alyssa. These ladies threw me the most amazing shower and b-party a bride could ever receive. It all started when they flew in Friday and kicked me out of my own living room to plan the last details together as they got to know…

This an exciting weekend for me because all of my wonderful bridesmaids (except one ) are coming in for a weekend of food, fun and an 80’s night. No one’s telling me what’s going to happen, but I’ve already been told that I’ll be kicked out of the room when all the bridesmaids arrive tonight so they can discuss what plans will be.

I do know…

My friend Sydney (who’s dating one of our groomsmen) is the absolute best! She went back to Korea to visit her family and guess what she does for me? She goes and buys me a hanbok (Korean dress) so I can wear it at the reception! It’s so pretty and I can’t wait to put it on!!!

note: colours are brighter in person
