We still have a bunch of great icons left, just waiting to be snapped up by our future bees!

But we’re always looking ahead, and wanted to mix it up a bit in the hive. So we’re brainstorming our next generation: Patterns and Craft Items! So far, we’ve come up with a small list of characters, but we need your help!

For patterns, we’ve thought of:

It’s Monday again, and time to introduce our newest bee! She’s an avid runner and joins us from New York! Please join me in welcoming Miss Trail Mix to the hive!

When our wedding month came around, we were hosting a lot of my extended family from Thailand. It’s not often that they’re able to make it to the U.S.; in fact, our wedding day marked the first time in over 10 years that all of my mom’s 5 sisters were in one place at one time, which is a big deal! Unfortunately, my dad and…

Our Badgely Mischka runway experience was really great! It was held right in their offices, in a small space with a double runway. The Mrs. Bee and I snagged seats right up front which offered a great view of all the dresses. I sat next to Colin Cowie! Badgely Mischka was debuting their Spring 2010 line here, and while most collections we viewed this week…

Mrs. Bee, Mrs. Apple Cider, Mrs. Onion, Mrs. Canary, readers Serena and Alex and I had the honor of attending the Martha Stewart Weddings 15th anniversary party at The Plaza Hotel this week. The event was set up to mimic a lavish wedding, hosted by the beautiful Darcy Miller. Highlights included a candy buffet by Amy Atlas, a photobooth, catering by Morimoto, 3 live bands,…

We were incredibly excited to attend the Monique Lhuillier show! It was held at the Eyebeam Atelier, and it had a double runway setup, which was nice because it maximized visibility for the attendants. Mrs. Bee and I scored great seats right up front with Anne-Marie from Perfect Bound and Kelly from Santa Barbara Chic. Anne-Marie was in the first seat, so she got the…

I was at a wedding last weekend and mentioned to a friend that I’d be heading to New York for Bridal Market, and an old friend told me to look out for Hey Lady shoes by his good friends Jessica and Emily Leung. I asked how I would recognize them, just in case I forgot the company name, and he said, “Trust me, you’ll know…

I’m on a plane back to California right now (yay for in-flight WiFi), and can’t wait to keep blogging highlights from Bridal Market!

Ines Di Santo’s spring 2010 line was inspired by diamonds, and there was no shortage of sparkle at the show! Nothing fell flat—every gown was 3 dimensional and interesting from every angle!

Walking into the Haute Bride suite at Bridal Market, I felt like I could close my eyes and throw a dart at any three necklaces/bracelets/earrings, and be beyond happy to wear them all together. It was definitely hard to decide which pieces to take pics of to post, so I took a LOT of pictures, and I hope you enjoy them! I love that they’re…

We had great vantage points for me to snap some pics at the bigger shows at Bridal Market this weekend, so while we gather our pro pics, I thought I’d blog about a show that I was able to catch on my own camera! Kirstie Kelly for Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings was last night, and appropriately for Disney… the kids stole the show! Kirstie showcased…

Mrs. Bee is due very soon, but she’s been a trooper all weekend running around town with me catching some amazing shows! We’ll spend all this week sharing our favorite sights and sounds around town, but for now here’s a glimpse of the action!
