Miss Ramen, Phoenix Age and Occupation: 26, Optometry Student Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, Industrial Designer Engagement Date: January 3, 2009 Wedding Date: December 2009 Venue: Phoenix Art Museum About Me: I'm an SF-born, Seattle-raised girl, transplanted to Phoenix where I'll be getting married, and planning all the way from Orange County where I go to school (yes, it feels as crazy as it sounds). I loooooove Yogurtland, am slightly very obsessed with all things paper, am heavily addicted to wedding blogs, deeply desire a puppy, thoroughly enjoy cooking, cry when I watch (almost all) movies, thrive on solo car-karaoke, can't stop being sarcastic, am neurotic about taking pictures of almost everything I eat before I eat it, and aspire to travel the world. My super-talented fiance and I are attempting to DIY a majority of our massive (~350 guests) "clean & modern, yet romantic, but completely unexpected, with a teeny dash of vintage" wedding, stay within our not-so-massive budget, and somehow get a really luxe (but still fun!) look/feel at the same time. In music terms (since we're both really into music) think Coldplay meets Motown meets Kanye meets Sinatra.

A Sweet Shower of Love

October 30th, 2009 @ 9:26 am by Miss Ramen

I know, I know, I’ve been a bad bee. I put off blogging to focus on my last couple of exams/projects for school… and then my laptop DIED. It was terrible - but one of my AWESOME classmates was able to save allllllll of my files/photos/wedding stuff! Whew! I was thisclose to losing EVERYTHING. But now I’m back - on my new baby netbook (my…

About Mrs. Green Tea

I knew I would be making vanilla extract favors for MOH-Ho’s shower before I came up with the ’Sugar Spice Nice’ theme, decided to serve desserts, or remotely considered any other detail. It was kind of a given in my mind because of MOH-Ho’s love for baking. I also love that it’s consumable, renewable, and has that personal homemade touch.

Unexpected Sweetness…

October 20th, 2009 @ 1:34 pm by Miss Ramen

Recently I’ve been overwhelmed by an outpouring of love and kindness from different people: family, friends, and even strangers! In the midst of a lot of stress and anxiety, these little bits of encouragement and kindness have meant the world to me and have been an overwhelming reminder that God is soooo good to me.

Sweet Shower Details

October 16th, 2009 @ 8:24 am by Mrs. Green Tea

I have theme addiction. It’s true. I thought about seeking help, for themes often conflict with practicality, and practicality is high up on my list. But before I go get myself fixed, I indulged in MOH-Ho’s sugary shower details. You’ve already seen my ’Sugar Spice Nice’ shower invites and I’ve also shown you the food and drinks dessert set up. Now I must confess that…

The Sweet Shower: Deweecious Setup

October 13th, 2009 @ 4:33 pm by Mrs. Green Tea

Mr. GT thinks I’m planning an excessive amount of food for MOH-Ho’s shower, and dared me to do a post asking your opinion. I ain’t scurred! While I’m at it, I’m gonna show you the setup of it all, too.

Here is the main buffet table that will feature 10 desserts:

French Candy for the Ladies

October 13th, 2009 @ 12:44 pm by Miss Parfait

Every time I hear the word “ladies” nowadays, I can’t help but think of Demetri Martin:

An easy way to sound like a creep is to add the word ‘ladies’ to the end of things you say. It can be harmless too, but it just makes you a creep. ‘Yeah after college I spent two years in the peace corps… ladies?’ The more harmless it is, the more of a creep you become. ‘I broke my arm. I need help… ladies?'

Then I followed my beau out here to LA and we're getting settled in. I've been making things since I can remember. I was raised by crafters. I love to sew, draw, paint, build, cook, bake (anything with a tangible end result is fair game). In that same spirit, I've been hosting since I was old enough to cook and set a fancy table. I kind of take after my grandmother, who believes that your morning OJ always tastes better out of the good crystal.

Shower #2

October 8th, 2009 @ 1:31 pm by Miss Moonbeam

Shower #2 was held in my hometown of San Antonio at a friend’s neighborhood pavilion. My lovely hostesses got tablecloths and flowers to coordinate with our wedding colors, prepared some quesadillas and other Mexican goodies and planned out a lovely afternoon for us all. And check out these cuties (they’re 2 of my 3 flower girls).

Sorry, I’ve been out for a while. I’m in Texas and had both of my wedding showers this past weekend. Shower #1 was hosted by Mr. Moonbeam’s aunts over in Houston on Saturday. There were mimosas, very yummy food, cake, lovely guests and lots of gifts.

Citrus Shower - Food Porn

October 2nd, 2009 @ 2:04 pm by Mrs. Penguin

Well, I threw my first bridal shower and lived to tell the tale. Special thanks to my co-host/slave Emily, who once again suffered through a Japanese food dinner (the bride and I are obsessed with Japanese food, Emily is not), and hamburger grease stains to make the shower happen!

When the first guests showed up (on time), I was still in my pajamas. Oops. This particular…

Mini Foods Shower - Recipes (Mostly Cheats)

September 25th, 2009 @ 2:30 pm by Mrs. Penguin

I promised recipes for the citrus shower going on this weekend, but the truth is that there aren’t many to report. My co-host is from out of town, and we’ll only have a few hours in the morning to really put everything together. So, rather than stress over cooking, I’m trying to do as much ahead of time, use frozen foods, and set aside tomorrow…

Grazie Mille!

There was only one aspect of our co-ed wedding shower I didn’t love: Being unprepared — since it was a surprise — with nary a thank you gift on hand for the party planners and hosts!

I worked quickly over the next few days to remedy this situation — the mister and I felt so loved and knew a ton of work had gone into the shower, and…

I had high aspirations for the shower I’m throwing. I was so tempted to go out and buy every cute citrus-themed party item I could find. Luckily for my checkbook, Mr. Peng took the car to work every day this week, meaning if I wanted something, I’d have to walk to get it, or make it on my own. So, my lazy ass has decided…
