Miss Hamster's Picture
Miss Hamster, New York City Age and Occupation: 28, Finance Gal Fiance's Age and Occupation: 30, Finance Guy Engagement Date: March 9, 2009 Wedding Date: May 2010 Venue: The Pierre Hotel About Me: I'm an original Jersey girl living it up in the big NYC! I love baking for others, hosting brunches, and exploring NYC with my mans. Besides Mr. Hamster (of course), I'm attracted to shiny things, bold colors, snacks, matching and coordination, pork and duck fats, miniature versions of things, corny jokes and puns. We are planning a swanky Spring wedding in the heart of NYC, followed by a second reception in Singapore. From one city that never sleeps to another - I can't imagine a more exciting ride!

Lace - A Love Unrequited

November 3rd, 2009 @ 4:17 pm by Miss Hamster

When I first started my gown search, I did as any bride-to-be would – decimated my wedding magazines, ripping out pictures of any and every gown that I was even mildly interested in. Seven magazines, 50 pictures and one ginormous black-and-white cookie later, I evaluated my pics and noticed a few common themes:

1. Fluffly
I know. That is not a word. But Fluffly is how I best describe “Look 1” of my first group of pictures – ruffles fluttering in the wind, light fabrics, perhaps a dramatic look back at the groom (or someone else, apparently!). You know, Fluffly.

Fluffly

Miss Snow's Picture
Miss Snow, Madison, WI/Asheville, NC Age and Occupation: 28, PhD student Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Graphic Designer Engagement Date: August 5, 2009 Wedding Date: June 2010 Venue: Claxton Farm About Me: I am true Southern gal displaced in the beautiful and blustery midwest. A true theatre geek at heart, I love any kind of performance and spend most of my time researching old productions in dank library archives. When not in the library, I love music (punk rock, bluegrass, and everything in between), design in all forms, any reality TV show on Bravo (especially those that feature housewives or sharp knives), beer and wine from Oregon, and exploring the outdoors. My fiance and I are true best friends, and he inspires me every day. After a long and happy dating relationship, we’ve decided to tie the knot in the mountains of North Carolina, our home state. We’re planning a long-distance, largely-DIY, eco-conscious hip farm affair that celebrates family, friends, and love.

As I’ve mentioned before, Mr. Snow’s a graphic designer. Due to his profession, the paper goods of the wedding are most important to him, and invitations top the “made of wood pulp” list. We’ve spent a lot of time thinking and chatting about how we want our wedding invitations and paper goods to look, but with our self-designated Save The Date deadline swiftly approaching, we’re having to make some decisions.

And, oh, have we made a decision.

Miss Frozen Yogurt's Picture
Miss Frozen Yogurt, Dallas Age and Occupation: 28, Special Projects Coordinator Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Equity Trader Engagement Date: March 19, 2009 Wedding Date: April 2010 Venue: Marie Gabrielle, Dallas About Me: I was born and raised in Texas, and have lived in several of the cities across the state, but I currently reside in Austin. I went to college in Boston and have a special place in my heart for the Northeast. I love reading, shopping, wine, reuniting with college friends that are scattered across the country, reality TV, trying out new recipes, and attempting all the DIY projects that come along with wedding planning. I'm a "bleeding heart, save the world type" and thankfully my job allows me to work on legislation and policy to help out those in need. I met Mr. Frozen Yogurt in a bar, though he doesn't even drink! And now we are planning a modern yet vintage wedding in Dallas while dealing with the trials and tribulations of first time homeownership.

Out of Town Guests

November 3rd, 2009 @ 3:29 pm by Miss Frozen Yogurt

So I totally ”borrowed” this idea from Cowboy Boot and Apple Cider. Their little bags were just too adorable, I wanted some of my very own. Plus, I don’t own a Gocco, and I certainly don’t know how to print on bags, so this out of town guest bag was born.

During this wedding planning process I’ve learned that stamps are my best friends. I don’t own a printer, and I don’t know how to design or craft really, but I can stamp with the best of them. My latest project turned out like this:

Miss Chick's Picture
Miss Chick, Houston Age and Occupation: 28, Rights and Reproduction Manager Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Computer Programmer Engagement Date: November 15, 2008 Wedding Date: April 2010 Venue: A farm outside of Houston About Me: Mr. Chick and I met almost ten years ago at Baker Blues, a college jazz party. He was attracted to my intensity, and I was mesmerized by his trivia pursuit skills and his dorm furniture adorned with his initials. We've grown more sophisticated through the years, with our love of wine, owning a house together, and parenthood (of a cat), but we have not lost our silliness or childish sense of humor!

When I saw Mrs. Penguin’s post on Hey Lady, I was in love!

But after seeing the hefty price tags, I quickly convinced myself that they were not for me. Months later, I find myself referring to them and drooling over their beautiful shoes again! So, I’ve decided even if I can’t afford them, I sure can still blog about them!

Here are my three faves:

Mrs. Meatball's Picture
Mrs. Meatball, Hollywood Age and Occupation: 30, Actor/Writer/Office Maven Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Actor/Writer Engagement Date: October 7, 2007 Wedding Date: May, 2009 Blogging Since: September 16, 2008 Venue: Private Garden/The Bungalow Club About Me: I love melty cheese and diet coke almost as much as I love my man. I'm from Chicago, he's from NYC, and we both miss public transit and great pizza. We have an adorable muppet dog called Paco. I'm part hippie with a healthy dash of hip hop superstar, have excessive empathy for animals, and have not one, but two bionic eyes (long story). We're broke and it ain't no joke. It can't stop us from planning the bold and whimsical wedding of our dreams, but we've had to get pretty creative to make it work, yo!
About Mrs. Meatball

Mr. M and I share our lives with a third partner, from whom we’re trying to break free. Procrastination. It is one of our great faults as a couple. It makes us late to almost every date (a rude and embarrassing habit, I know), it tempts us to create distraction in our lives. Don’t get me wrong, we always get things done on time, but always under the gun. As much as we try to fight it and cure it, it will always be in our family nature. So, leave it to us to be engaged for twenty months, and still be woefully under-prepared come May.

Soooooo, the last two weeks preceding our wedding were especially high-octane, go go go, last minute errand mayhem, combined with a volatile cocktail of emotions, family, and anticipation. It was like life was in fast forward! Seemingly developed as an evolutionary adaptation to my procrastinatory leanings, I have a keen ability to become intensely focused on the goal in these types of situations (which was how I kept from melting down constantly). But there were some very unexpected side effects of all that pressure, so listen close, my bridal biddies!

1. Weight loss. No secret I was down to drop a few extra pounds before strutting it in such a skin-tastic dress, but after 30+ years of being an emotional eater, I was shocked to find myself not only without appetite, but without even noticing. Normally I’m fantasizing about my next meal as I eat my current, but food was the farthest thing from my mind that week, and the pictures are the proof in the pudding. I would just forget to eat for hours! Thankfully, the dress still fit; however, it did end up being 2 inches too long because of the weight loss! More on this later.

Point? Eat, my little chickens!

Miss French Fries, Milwaukee Age and Occupation: 27, Paralegal Fiance's Age and Occupation: 35, Investments Advisor Engagement Date: September 20, 2008 Wedding Date: June 2010 Venue: Ceremony: Catholic Church, Reception: Hotel Ballroom About Me: I'm a Midwestern girl who longs to live in a warmer climate (my feet would be happy in flip flops any day!). I love travel, impromptu napping, grilled cheese sandwiches, my iPhone, singing with reckless abandon in my car, and Mr. French Fries.
About Miss French Fries

Stationary on the Stationery.

November 3rd, 2009 @ 2:08 pm by Miss French Fries

I’ve been debating for a while now what types of invitations to fashion for our wedding. I say “fashion” because I am indeed going to be designing and crafting them myself. Our invitation budget is meager at best, and while there are amazing stationers out there, letterpress for us will only be a dream. (And, surprisingly, I’m okay with that!)

I have folders upon folders of inspiration images and wording samples that I love, but I haven’t been able to commit to one design just yet. You see, I want something that is a bit off-beat, but not too kitschy. I want something beautiful and interesting to look at, yet something easy to produce (remember, I’m DIYing here). I do not have access to the following: a letterpress, a Gocco, a Yudu or a Cricut. I do have access to: a computer, a color printer, and… that’s about it. I’m going to be using a 40% off coupon at Michaels in the near future for a paper-cutter. Oh, and of course, I have Weddingbee at my disposal.

Right now, I’m thinking that I’m going to shamelessly steal borrow the genius idea that Mrs. Green Tea had to fit her maid of honor’s invites on a single sheet of paper. (She’s obviously a goddess at wedding planning and shower planning. Gah, if only I was that talented.) So, a single sheet of paper, and that includes our invite, reply card, and directions card. I think we can do it! Also, I love the string and name circles that she attached to her MOH’s invites. Too cute!

Miss Rainbow's Picture
Miss Rainbow, Tampa Age and Occupation: 22, Makeup Artist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, Electrical Engineer/Programmer Engagement Date: November 27, 2008 Wedding Date: May 2010 Venue: The Gamble Plantation About Me: I'm a quirky (and slightly Type-A) freelance makeup artist who was born in Washington State, raised in Alabama, and now living with my one and only in sunny Florida. I'm fashion and beauty obsessed, and have recently discovered my inner domestic diva extraordinaire. I'm a wannabe chef, decorating addict, and trying desperately to be as crafty as possible---albeit only with a glue gun. I'm hopelessly in love with my fiance, and all things sparkly and feathery. Despite the glittery exterior, I'm a total hippie on the inside. When I'm not making up pretty faces, I love doing what I can to help people, animals, and the environment. Someday the FI and I will change the world, but first we're tackling our modern-vintage-Marie-Antoinette-meets-Alice-in-Wonderland inspired wedding. I just can't wait to be Mrs. Rainbow!

Play That Funky Music, Rainbow

November 3rd, 2009 @ 1:44 pm by Miss Rainbow

I do not like classical music; it’s just not me. I don’t want to walk down the aisle to Canon in D, nor do I want to hear a peep of Ave Maria. Mr. Rainbow, on the other hand, really enjoys him some classical music. He even wanted to be a musical conductor as a child—you know, the guy in the tux waving sticks at the front of the orchestra? Yup, that guy.

Luckily for me, however, despite Mr. R’s affinity to classical music, he’s pretty lax when it comes to picking the wedding music. He thinks I have good taste in music (aside from some lingering Spice Girls tunes on my iPod) so I’ve pretty much been given full reign, less a few songs on his “must play” list, which, might I add, happens to contain a song from the Ghostbusters soundtrack. Lord, I love that man, but don’t even ask.

That said, now that we’re not having a wedding party, I’m wondering if one song (just the bride’s processional) will be sufficient. I mean, there’s no point in having a processional song if you don’t have a wedding party to walk during the processional, right? Anyway, without further ado, I present to you the very non-traditional Rainbow Wedding Playlist!

Relationship Series: The Holidays

November 3rd, 2009 @ 1:17 pm by Beehive

Be sure to check out all the posts in our Relationship Series here!

~~~

How are you deciding where you spend the holidays? Was it a big issue between you and your FI? How did you come to a decision?

Mrs. Quiche - This is a HUGE deal for me. I do not like to spend Christmas anywhere (including our own home!) except at my mom’s house, which I have done every single year for the past 29 years. I am sure it is something I’ll have to get over at some point, especially with kids, but I still can’t fathom it. We don’t tend to go to Ohio for Easter or Thanksgiving, only occasionally (like this year - YAY!).

All of his family is here in Chicago & we can see them anytime. This is not the case with my family, so it makes sense to spend the big holidays with my family, right? Right??

This Christmas will be the first test. We still haven’t decided what to do.

Miss Pretzel's Picture
Miss Pretzel, Seattle Age and Occupation: 32 Learning, Training, and Development Specialist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28 Manufacturing Engineer Engagement Date: September 2, 2009 Wedding Date: July 2010 Venue: Catholic Church & The Engine Room at Georgetown Studios About Me: I’m just a thirty-something girl who never dreamed of weddings, poofy dresses, or ritzy receptions. I was born and raised in New Hampshire, went to undergrad and grad school at Purdue University in Indiana, had my career take me to Wisconsin, Atlanta, and then finally settled in Seattle. I am a rabid knitter, except recently, wedding projects have replaced my yarn and needles. I’ve been fiercely independent since the age of 2 and 30 years later I think my family and friends had given up on me settling down and getting married. Ironically, I had to go all the way to Seattle to find a boy from Purdue. We fell in love over Seattle Beers and cooking together. We love Chuck Taylor All Stars, holding hands, clever t-shirts, bacon, KEXP Radio, craft beer, buying local, cooking from scratch, gardening, mastering our new Gocco, and of course, each other. I love NASCAR, he loves Legos. I can talk like a Muppet and he can fit a whole McDonald’s cheeseburger in his mouth. We are a two reception couple, currently planning a brewery inspired bash.

Sneak Peek: Hair Flower in Action

November 3rd, 2009 @ 12:51 pm by Miss Pretzel

Engagement photos blew my mind! Everything fell into place on that day and just “clicked”. Here is a sneak peek of the day:

  • Makeup trial: CHECK! I’m totally going to book Shannon, owner of I Love Blush to do my makeup for the wedding. Airbrushing is totally worth it—I had my makeup on from 10 AM until 10 PM and it looked awesome. Also, I’ve sworn by this secret for years: a couple well placed individual false lashes on the outside of your eyes creates a dramatic, but natural look, instantly making your eyes look tons larger!

look at those lashes!

Look at those lashes!
