Mrs. Gloss's Picture
Mrs. Gloss, Boston/Maine Age and Occupation: 24, Designer/soon-to-be Architect Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Systems Engineer Engagement Date: May 23, 2008 Wedding Date: August 2009 Venue: SS Katahdin/Lakeside Tent About Me: I don't like nickels or the skin that forms on pudding when it's in the fridge for too long. I couldn't live without Pantone markers, fountain soda (3/4 diet, ¼ regular Coke), run-on sentences, or ridiculously oversized sunglasses. I will try to DIY almost anything and am just OCD enough to make most of it work. I am truly excited about having all my family and friends together, becoming Mrs. Gloss, and having amazing photos to prove it!
About Mrs. Gloss

Black, White & Chic All Over

October 9th, 2009 @ 8:25 am by Mrs. Gloss

I have a confession: I’m married - but I’m not over wedding planning! Apparently I didn’t get it out of my system, and I can’t say Mr. Gloss is going to be happy about that one when I ask to plan another party. It could get really out of control. ;) So for now I’ll resign to fake-planning other people’s weddings.
One of my MOH’s good friends is getting married next summer AND is an avid WB stalker (although who wouldn’t be?). So at my MOH’s wedding recently, we had a little wedding conference in the ’cocktail area’ while the boys watched and rolled their eyes (they were totally just jealous). Anyways - she started dishing about their plans - a black and white tented cocktail reception on her grandparents’ property (which apparently is castle-esque) and then the wheels started spinning…

Miss Cloud's Picture
Miss Cloud, Richmond Age and Occupation: 25, Sales Rep Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Customer Service Manager/DJ Engagement Date: February 14, 2008 Wedding Date: November 2009 Venue: Cathedral of the Sacred Heart & The Jefferson Hotel About Me: Mr. Cloud and I are Yankees planning a Southern wedding to show our families from Boston and New York our fabulous city. We are complete opposites, resulting in a wedding to include bridesmaids in pearls and groomsmen in Adidas shell toes. I’m a sorority girl at heart with strong addictions to my blackberry, cherry Chapstick, Coach purses, the Boston Red Sox and our fur baby, Bella. I can’t wait to the throw the party of our lives and of course, marry my best friend!
About Miss Cloud

I need to start by apologizing for my disappearance. After getting over the flu, Mama Cloud flew in for a long weekend of appointments, running around, and turning my apartment into a hot mess of wedding craftiness. In the end we made a MAJOR dent into the never ending to-do list. I have lots and lots to share (and of course, never enough time to sit down and actually write about it) but I am so excited to share my favorite project to date: the programs!

I’m being incredibly unoriginal here. If you’ve been stalking Weddingbee (and the archives) for as long as I have you have probably stumbled over the beautiful programs by Mrs. Tiramisu, Mrs. Eggplant, and Mrs. Emerald. I saw the big ribbon on Tiramisu’s and was immediately interested. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to put that much work into the whole thing, until a friend who was married a few years ago in the same cathedral warned me of their program requirements. I’ve talked about them before, and they are no joke. None of it was going to fit on a single page and make my life easy either. I tried to come up with an original plan of my own, I really did, but I just kept going back to being a copycat. Imitation is the best form of flattery, after all!

So we printed, Goccoed, cut, scored, assembled, and tied until our fingers were numb, and I could not be more pleased with the result! All the paper is from PaperSource, and we ordered ribbon in bulk for this and a few other projects from Paper Mart. Black coverstock Goccoed with white ink made for what I thought would be an easy cover. Not so much, as it turns out white Gocco ink hates me. Luckily that was the hardest part of the whole project, and with a little extra force on my presses, it’s not a crisp white print, but it has a vintage-y look to it. Yeah, our wedding has no vintage vibe going on, but I’ve decided to move past that and love them anyway!

I'm not extreme in anything except moderation... and wedding planning.

… And a Lucky Sixpence in Her Shoe!

October 8th, 2009 @ 5:59 pm by Miss Labrador

Okay hive, I’m officially under ONE MONTH. *screams like a wild woman on the inside*

Ah-hum. Now that I’ve composed myself, I’d like to tell you about my latest accomplishment. I’ve been trying to nail down a lot of my “little” purchases for the big day so they don’t pile up last minute. I just finished buying all my items to complete that age old wedding poem that features little “somethings”.

So what are my “somethings”?

My Something Old/Sixpence:

I need as much “luck” on my side for our wedding day as possible (I still don’t know at a month out how this shindig is going to come together!), so I’m definitely wearing a sixpence in my shoe. I think a lot of people forget about the sixpence as part of the poem. I didn’t forget, but I did piggyback the “old” part of the poem with the sixpence. I decided to make it a special sixpence by ordering one from my mother’s year of birth. Mine looks just like this one, only with a 1958 date.

My hobbies include sleeping in, seasonal brews, running, Trader Joe’s, and watching Unwrapped and Good Eats with Mr. Potato Chips. I harbor an irrational fear of tulle, crafts, things that are fussy, and overuse of the phrase "Your Special Day". After a year or seven together, down the aisle we go, slouching toward adulthood and planning a Rhodie party with equal parts whimsy, cheer, and pizza.

Thinking About Dresses

October 8th, 2009 @ 5:34 pm by Ms Potato Chips

When my grandmother (my Vavó) and mother came to this country from the Açores, Portugal, my grandmother didn’t speak any English (and never really learned any, come to think of it). Nevertheless, Vavó got a job in the Priscilla of Boston factory (in Boston), sewing the pearls and beads on wedding dresses. My mom’s wedding dress was even a sample from the store window! For those reasons alone, I very much want to shop there, if the whole Filene’s Grumbling-of-the-Bride doesn’t pan out.

And then, there is Drew. Although this dress apparently graced the cover of Modern Bride in 2008, I only just spotted her in the pages of a Fall 2009/Winter 2010 copy of The Knot wedding magazine, paired with ridiculously cute shoes.

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.

Rehearsal Dinner Invite

October 8th, 2009 @ 5:08 pm by Miss Frozen Yogurt

I know we still have a considerable amount of time before we need to consider our rehearsal dinner invites, but I always hear about brides stressing at the last minute and wishing they started some of their projects earlier. So why not the rehearsal dinner invites? I mean, it’s not like I have no idea what we’re doing for our actual wedding invites (actually, I have no idea what we’re doing; I’ve changed my mind a thousand times, and I guess I’m just trying to put off thinking about it. Ahh, you like that denial?). So here’s my inspiration for the rehearsal invites:

I love my job most of the time because I get to travel and work with brilliant people who are trying to prevent Malaria. I love DIY projects of all sorts, cooking, and watching sports. I'd wear anything at Anthropologie and could spend all day on Etsy. I love to travel but shouldn't because I always get myself into unbelievable situations!

Mrs. Glitter, Los Angeles Age and Occupation: 27, Research Consultant/Writer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Accounting Engagement Date: May 6, 2007 Wedding Date: June, 2009 Venue: Millenium Biltmore Hotel About Me: I was born and raised in West Los Angeles, California. I spent eight years in the Northeast working and completing my education. Having split time between two sides of the country has given me a true appreciation for both coasts. It has also provided an overabundance of cross country drives, flights and long distance relationship fun/misery! I love my family, my doggy Emma, fabulous wine, Anthropologie, politics, reading, being outdoors, exploring new cities, and good movies! My fiance and I are complete opposites, but somehow we have managed to fall completely and hopelessly in love.

Our Wedding Highlight Video

October 8th, 2009 @ 4:34 pm by Mrs. Glitter

I received our highlight video from the super talented Digital Princess Productions, (a vendor rec from Mrs. Meatball!) and it made me so happy. I got butterflies in my stomach, and I was transformed back to that sweet day. Since then, I can’t stop watching it. It’s actually pretty fun to see the whole event on camera! If you can swing it, I’d highly recommend hiring a videographer or asking a friend to follow you with their camcorder for the day.

By watching the video closely, you might discover a few details I have yet to talk about in my posts or recaps. For example, a performance from a Los Angeles-based Korean drumming team, a beautiful pictoral tribute to generations of family, and a surprise performance by my husband!! Unbeknownst to me, Mr. G worked for months with a local musician to write a song. He sang it to me in front of 250+ guests: a moment I will never, ever forget.

Enjoy this little slice of our day!

Miss Lamb's Picture
Miss Lamb, Norfolk Age and Occupation: 25, Homeland Security Consultant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Graduate Student Engagement Date: January 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Trinity Presbyterian Church/Harrison Opera House About Me: I’m a Homeland Security Consultant with a tendency towards pulling office pranks, taking lunch breaks, and drinking Wawa shakes. I’m also an English major with a serious obsession with alliteration and rhymes. While I’m not keeping America safe, I’m training for half marathons and the Escape from Alcatraz swim. Or moving for the third time this year. Or baking. Or wedding crafting. Or crying about wedding planning. All the while, I’m getting myself into Lucille Ball-esque scrapes and making Jim Carey-esque faces. Our big fat Czech/Baptist/Jewish/Italian wedding is a combination of vintage eclectic, DIY, and little spoonful of sugar from our Event Coordinator. It’s going to be a Norfolk flavored wedding with the verve of an only-daughter-blow-out bash!

Long Awaited, Much Anticipated Part 4

October 8th, 2009 @ 4:14 pm by Miss Lamb

Even as my dress resolve remained with my heritage dresses, Ewe Mother and I visited salons in order to find the fit, style, and inspiration for my designed gown. We first visited P. Lawrence Bridal in my hometown. Our bridal consultant, Angela, was amazing! She let us go through the racks, I tried on as many gowns as I wanted during our hour appointment, we were allowed to take pictures, and she even wrote all of the designer information down for us when I had chosen my top dresses. I hadn’t even brought a camera because I had been watching “Say Yes to the Dress” and Kleinfeld’s says photo snapping is a huge No-No! Another plus to visiting P. Lawrence is that they have a sample sale rack in the back of the store. Perfect for brides looking for a deal.

The second salon we visited that same morning was Distinctive Designs Bridal. Again, we worked with a delightful consultant who let us browse the racks. This consultant readily told me what worked for my figure and when we showed her a magazine ad of an Anne Barge dress:

Miss Dachshund, Fresno, CA Age and Occupation: 24, Legal Office Assistant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Computer Technician Engagement Date: April 18, 2009 Wedding Date: May 2010 Venue: Victorian Gardens of Two Sisters About Me: I’m a 24-year-old Californian bride-to-be who found love in the most unlikely of places - an online video game! I’m a farmer’s daughter living in rural Central California, but will always have a special place in my heart for the city. My future husband is a 27-year-old extraordinarily tall, exceptionally cute, and undoubtedly Canadian boy who was able to sweep me off my feet and take me for his bride. I love color, folksy songs that make me smile, interior design, kettle corn, my one-year-old puppy, Juno, and my fiance, of course! We’re planning a DIY garden wedding with a laundry-list of projects, all while dealing with the bureaucracy that is American Immigration!

Have you ever been forced to wait for something for so long and with such anticipation that once it rolls around it catches you completely off-guard? Well. I’d been going quietly about my day today, entering the piles of paperwork that have been covering my desk for the past month, while my mind was off in the clouds—nervous about meeting every single member of Mr. Dachshund’s extended family this weekend.

Then it hit me.

Mr. Dachshund will be here soon. In-two-weeks soon.

For.

Good.

Please don’t misunderstand; I am absolutely excited and thrilled that Mr. D and I get to start our life together, for realz. However. I’m also anxious, nervous, overwhelmed and, well, just a tiny bit terrified.

I’ve lived by myself for quite a long time. While Mr. D prooobably won’t mind my habit of walking around in my underwear, I’m sure he won’t appreciate my pants lying on the floor on the exact spot in which they were removed… a habit I’ll soon have try to break. I’ll let you guys in on a little secret: I suffer from an aversion to housework.

It’s not just the superficial things I’m nervous about.

Desserts, love songs, sappy movies? Yes, yes, and ohh yes. My fiance and I enjoy singing to our dogs, creating crazy ice cream sundaes, and generally being lovey dovey cuddle bunnies. We also do socially acceptable things like dancing, throwing Frisbees, playing high stakes board games, and taking unreasonably fun road-trips. We're planning a Korean/Serbian wedding with plenty of playful, personal touches!

Honoring Our Heritage

October 8th, 2009 @ 3:33 pm by Miss Parfait

I went to my first Serbian wedding last May. Mr. Parfait’s cousin and her now-husband incorporated some beautiful traditions, which led me to wonder what Korean and Serbian traditions we will have in our wedding!

The day started with a Skup Svatova at the bride’s house—a pre-wedding celebration where guests greet each other, enjoy live music, eat, and drink. Afterwards, we headed to a Serbian church for their ceremony. I have only seen two Serbian churches in person (and dozens online), and they have all been works of art! Stories from the Bible illustrated the walls, the arches, and even the ceiling.
