We are still waiting for pics from the photographer, but have gotten a ton of pics from friends. Here are a couple…

Since we are back from our honeymoon and do not yet have the pics from our photographer (we should have them by Wednesday), I thought I would share some pics of the tea I hosted for my bridesmaids the day before the wedding.

Here is a pic of the table all set pretty…

By now, I am sure you have all seen the little teas that open into flowers (I posted about them a while ago and used them at the tea I hosted for my bridesmaids).

While scouring the web this morning, I came across these flowers that are put in a glass of champage or several other cocktails…

We are married!!!!

The wedding was incredible - we had the BEST time. More pics and details when we return to DC, until then, here is a pic to get you started…

Remember our beautiful couture bridesmaid dresses that I had made from hand-dyed silk in Thailand???

Well here is a pic of the girls from the bachelorette weekend…

I have been finishing up a bunch of small paperie projects and thought I would share.

Here is our menu for the bar - notice the comment about Bastille Day (I love it!)

I finished the invites for the bridesmaids’ tea last week and just got around to taking pictures of them to share with you.

I really wanted the invitations for the tea to be special, as each of my bridesmaids have been a huge help and done so much for me. I’m really excited about hosting a tea for them and have a bunch of fun…

With just over two weeks to go, I actually am pretty calm (I know, shocker!).

We only have a couple of DIY projects left, and this past weekend we drove up to NY for my sister’s graduation and took almost all of the wedding crap with us, including the gifts for everyone who is helping with anything. While we were at home, we also got our marriage…

As I posted about earlier, after a good amount of research (ok, I just asked my married friends) I learned that the guest book is not usually seeked out and if it is, people just sign their name. Therefore, I didn’t want to spend too much time or energy on it, so I decided to just whip it up with a kit from Paper-Source.

Here are…

After a lot of debate, I have decided to make the guest book, even though I need another DIY like a hole in my head.  I took a poll of my married friends and most of them said people didn’t really write a ton in the book and several people missed it all together, so I decided to forgo spending a lot on it.

I went and purchased the…

I have been collecting all my favorite pictures from other people’s weddings since I started the wedding planning process, and am finally getting the list together for the photographer.  Here are a few of my favorites (I am a bit obsessed with feet and shoes).

(Please let me know if one of these is yours… I was collecting them so long ago, I didn’t keep track…

I feel like recently I have a split personality… One minute I am feeling totally productive about the things we are getting done for the wedding and the next minute I am freaking out about how much there is left to do in less than a month…

Today, I tackled the programs! Julia, one of my interns, actually did most of the work on putting it…

BFF Bridal featured C.O. Bigelow’s Mentha Lip Shine today as a cool product to put in your hospitality basket in the bathrooms for the reception.

Now, these are super cute, but $375 for 50 containers of them seems a bit pricey. (If they fit your budget, you can get them at Vivre.)

I have been working on putting together a list of what I need to get…

I can’t believe our wedding is just over a month away.

Mr. Raspberry and I have both been very busy with work, hence my slight absence lately…Haute Papier just got an office and we have been moving in and remodeling the last two weeks, but we are almost completely in, which means more on Weddingbee from me!

I finished up the design for our favor tags (see…
