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 think? Feel like you were at my wedding? Hope so!

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 like this view here:

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! Congratulations Amy and Alex!

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 now we’re debating about where to go. We’ve already been to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and loved it, but we’re not sure if we want to go around that area again even though the weather isn’t too shabby in October. We looked at Barbados, Costa Rica and saw many all inclusive packages via Apple Vacations. We used them for our Dominican Republic trip and loved them. We’re also debating about cruises that leave from NYC.

We don’t have much time to plan this and we’re even considering Hawaii. Do you know of any great vacationing/honeymooning spots in late October? We could use all the advice we can get.

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 the rest of the directions from then on!

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 it, but sadly I am not talented enough to take a nice picture. Read more…

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 experience any of it.
