About Me: I love wedding and event planning. I am having a great time with all of my DIY projects and can't wait to share them with all of the WeddingBee Readers (some have to wait until after our wedding)! Other favorites include: cooking, running, tennis, knitting and making crafts. Mr. Raspberry and I also have two dogs - Gewurz, a 2 year old
yellow lab and Stella, a 1 year old old cock-a poo.
And We’re (Almost) Off…

… on our second honeymoon!!!
Back in July when we got married, we took a short trip to Montreal for our honeymoon with plans of another trip to Thailand. Well it is a reality! We leave on Saturday for almost 3 weeks in beautiful Thailand. Now at least 1 week of that is work related for me, but we will have plenty of vacation time also.

Holiday Cards
September 28th, 2007 @ 3:42 pm by Mrs. Raspberry
As I am sure you know, many couples send out holiday cards that have a picture from their wedding their first year together. It’s a great time to start your list of recipients now, and put that massive spreadsheet from the wedding guest list to use! I just finished designing ours and am debating between two styles, and was hoping you can help.
Thanks!!!
Heavenly Hydrangeas

I recently came across the beautiful work of Susan Poneman at Heavenly Hydrangeas and want to share a couple of pics with you DC brides.
Her work is so fresh and inspired. I love the garden feel of her flowers.
MIA and Toasts!
August 29th, 2007 @ 2:58 pm by Mrs. Raspberry
I can’t believe it has been almost two months since we got married… I am not sure where the time went! And I thought things would calm down after the wedding.
I have been in full album making mode (and by being in full mode, I mean thinking about it every day). I have been struggling with what type of album I want to make (Mrs. Ant’s posts have been very helpful), and have come to the conclusion that I am just going to have to take my time in searching to find the right one for us and stop adding all this pressure that it has to be finished by Christmas.
So, I’m really writing because I want to share the text from our maid of honor and best man’s speeches. (We are still waiting for Mr. Raspberry’s brother to send us his, so I just have the MOH speech for now)
Now, when I told her that I wanted to post it, she freaked out and said that it was so much better when she actually delivered the speech, which is totally true, since she added a few little anecdotes, but I wanted to share since so much thought goes into writing these, I thought it might help in sparking ideas for other MOHs.
Serious Shoe Sale!!!
August 8th, 2007 @ 2:54 pm by Mrs. Raspberry
For all of you lucky brides in Washington, DC, Hitched is having a HUGE shoe sale. Some of the brands that will be marked down include Cynthia Rowely, Grace Shoes, and Beatrix Ong.
The sale is one day only - Thursday, August 16th from 5pm-8pm. For more info check out their website.
(I love Hitched - it’s where we got our MOH dress at the last minute to replace the one that was ruined. They are incredible friendly and have great prices!)
