Miss Spaniel's Picture
Miss Spaniel, Los Angeles Age and Occupation: 28, Law Student Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Psychologist Wedding Date: March 2010 Venue: Calamigos Ranch About Me: I'm a third-year law student trying to balance graduating with starting my career, keeping up a relationship, and, oh yeah, planning an Old World, multi-cultural, "mountain lodge" wedding for 180 guests! A South Asian Jewish girl getting ready to marry my handsome Catholic Dane, I'm hoping to blend our cultures in our wedding just a bit more gently than by providing samosas as appetizers and offering æbleskiver for dessert. (Although that would also be awesome.)

How Important is the Alcohol?

November 16th, 2009 @ 3:09 pm by Miss Spaniel

For a lot of people, the best part of a wedding is the open bar (sad, but true). The venue Mr. Spaniel and I are using includes a three-hour open beer and wine bar in the base price, but not a full bar. I had thought that the full bar was an extra $25 per person per hour, but I’ve just realized that I misread the…

Mrs. Apple Cider, New York/Charlotte Age and Occupation: 27, Corporate Communications Manager Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Grad Student – Clinical Mental Health Engagement Date: September 13, 2008 Wedding Date: October 2009 Venue: Banner Elk Winery & Blueberry Villa About Me: I am a North Carolina girl with a New York City spirit. I love crafting, blogging, laughing and dreaming. I know every word to the Anne of Green Gables and Little Women movies. I own every single Martha Stewart Wedding Magazine and have been dreaming of weddings since I was little. I believe life is about doing what makes you happy. If you aren't happy re-evaluate what you are doing. You should never look back on your life and not be proud of what you are doing. If you want to travel - travel. If you want to sing - sing. If you want to start a company - start a company. If you want to blog – blog!

Rehearsal Dinner Wine - DIY Labels

October 19th, 2009 @ 12:29 pm by Mrs. Apple Cider

Our rehearsal dinner had a theme (I promise to share pics soon!). It was a country bluegrass event, but not cheesy country (if you know what I mean). We decided to have beer and wine at the event, but I wanted the wine to have some custom labels, of course.

I came up with a quick design to match the rehearsal dinner invitations, and really love how they turned out.

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!

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-alcohol

October 17th, 2009 @ 2:00 pm by Miss Rainbow

In the past few months, Mr. R and I have been tossing around ideas about the bar at our wedding. Since we have a definite location, no corkage fee, and our DOC has a great (and super inexpensive) bartender that she often works with, cost isn’t as much of an issue as we thought it would be, fortunately, so I just assumed we’d have an open bar.

Signature Cocktail

September 28th, 2009 @ 2:52 pm by Miss Frozen Yogurt

At Marie Gabrielle, we get to choose a signature cocktail to be served during the cocktail hour. I decided to come to you all to tell you my options and see what you think. We get to choose from martinis, champagne cocktails and straight up drinks. When I first saw this list I immediately focused in on the champagne cocktails, but now as it’s had…

Raising a Glass…Or Maybe Two

August 28th, 2009 @ 4:45 pm by Mrs. Dew Drop

Back in April, Mr. DD and I had a week where we found ourselves completely over wedding planning. Note that I didn’t say completely over with wedding planning. We had just been working hard to knock a few wedding tasks off our ever-growing list, and this, coupled with work stress and moving (and a lot of swearing and vowing to hire professional movers next time), had…

I'm a self-proclaimed attention-w****. If it involves a camera, I'm in front of it! You'll never meet a girlier tomboy than me. I can go toe to toe with any guy on the subject of college football, and lift more than any girl in my gym, all without chipping a nail. I hope to someday be the only person you want delivering your sports news. My FI and I are the loving parents of three Labrador Retrievers (one of each color) and are planning a "Southern Romantic Charm" wedding in the beautiful, historic city of Savannah. I'm not extreme in anything except moderation... and wedding planning.

As you may have guessed by the title, this post is about our signature drinks! ;)

We’re having a full bar at our cocktail hour and reception and thought it would be fun to have drinks that represent the entire wedding party. There will be a total of three signature drinks: one for the bridesmaids, one for the groomsmen, and then one in honor of Mr. Lab and me.

Signature Drink #1 - Check!

July 2nd, 2009 @ 2:30 pm by Mrs. Gloss

While browsing around Williams Sonoma this past weekend, I happened upon our first signature drink…. the Cranberry Daiquiri. The description reads “the classic daiquiri gets a citrus twist in the cranberry-orange pairing”… um, what? the cranberry/orange combo is my faaaavorite. Since we hadn’t really thought about what we wanted to serve, and this sounded delicious, we quickly scooped up 15 bottles. My MOH (being the…

I speak Italian and love pasta. My real passion is the outdoors, though. When I'm not at work, I'm snowboarding, hiking with my two dogs, mountain biking, surfing, cross-country-skiing, or boating New Mexico's rivers. Despite my boyish love for adventure, I'm a girly-girl at heart and am overly-excited to pull off the romantic, vintage-inspired, country wedding of my dreams.

Calculating for the Happiest Hours

June 8th, 2009 @ 3:24 pm by Mrs. Joey

Over the last few weeks I’ve been thinking about what beverages we will be serving and how much we’ll need. I looked over our list of guests and came up with a breakdown of who thought would drink what. Then I played with several online beverage calculators and came up with the following beverage needs:

  • 2 cases of both red and white
  • 3-4 bottles of Pimm’s
  • 3-4 bottles…
