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!

Dancing Shoes

Miss Poodle's Picture
Miss Poodle, Santiago, Chile/San Bernardino, CA Age and Occupation: 27, Industrial & Web Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Firefighter & Mountain Patrol Engagement Date: February 25, 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Mr. P's Grandparents’ Ranch About Me: I’m a Chilean girl who's crazy about nature and swimming. I enjoy carving, drawing, reading and sewing; I drool over computers, fabric, pretty paper, purple and patterns. To me, chocolate should be one of the seven wonders, right next to lemon pie. I never thought an exchange work experience program was going to change my life forever, but while working in California, I met Mr. Poodle, and ever since my days are better and brighter. We are two goofy souls that, after finding each other, couldn’t help but want to be together forever. It has being a long and sometimes hard road, since we have to deal with such a long distance between us, but we are now facing the last stage of our Fiancé Visa, and soon we will be together. You know the best part? We will be married! So I’ll be blogging from Chile until just a few months before our “green and purple” wedding.

About Miss Rainbow

… besides saying “yes” and “I do”. The Colors. Dun, dun, dun… cue the ominous music. Okay, maybe it’s not THAT serious, but it’s close! Wedding colors dictate the whole feel/mood/ambiance of a wedding, or any space, for that matter. Think about it… you go to a spa and everything is soothing and calm: blues, greens, greys. A nice restaurant: rich reds, browns, and golds;…

Ms Potato Chips's Picture
Ms. Potato Chips, Boston/Narragansett RI Age and Occupation: 29, PhD Student Fiance's Age and Occupation: 30, Personal Trainer/Business Owner/Physical Therapy Assistant Engagement Date: January 1, 2009 Wedding Date: June 2010 Venue: The Narragansett Towers About Me: A semi-professional bookworm, if I could be a literary character I’d be a cross between Jo March and Jane Eyre, only better accessorized and much lazier. 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.

Grumbling of the Brides

October 9th, 2009 @ 5:42 pm by Ms Potato Chips

After trying on 800 dresses and a hilarious ’80s-style montage, I’d just about given up and I was ready to call it a day and get some noodles already (Wagamama was just around the corner). Even MommaChips, shopping maven extraordinaire, was looking tired and weary. Weary and wary (she didn’t appreciate our hilarious ’80s-style montage).

But my friends (including my 6-months-preggo future sister-in-law) had just walked fifteen…

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!

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.

Miss French Fries's Picture

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

At the tail end of summer two years ago, I met Mr. French Fries, the man who will become my husband. It was on a crowded patio around raucous bar patrons that he made me laugh for almost 3 solid hours, which led me to consider maybe going on a date with him. (Even if I did end up breaking that first date. True story!) If someone would have told me that I was going to meet my future husband that night, I wouldn’t have believed them, not in a million years. But, here we are — face to face — a couple of silver spoons… (name that TV show!).

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.

Oh, Happy Day!

October 7th, 2009 @ 2:38 pm by Miss Parfait

Happy colors = happy spirits = happy guests + bride + groom = happy celebration! That sums ups our no-fail plan for a perfect evening. When describing our brightly-hued wedding to others, we’re sometimes met with remarks about color overload and bleeding eyeballs. Thankfully, Mr. Parfait and I have the same vision, and I think I know where it came from.

A while ago, Mr. Parfait’s…

Daydreaming in Color

October 7th, 2009 @ 10:32 am by Miss Parfait

Springtime in Chicago, as I’ve mentioned before, tends to be gray and wintry. Snow, slush, boots, and thick coats are on display well into the season. By the time our April wedding date rolls around, I know I’ll be ready for bright tulips and unabashed sunshine! That’s part of the reason we chose our new color scheme of pink, orange, and yellow.

I’ve been flipping through…

Color Me Confused!

October 6th, 2009 @ 3:02 pm by Miss French Fries

So, like many things in planning our wedding, our wedding colors have changed several times so far in this process. We’re still a good bit of time out, so it’s not like any firm decisions (like buying bridesmaids’ dresses) have been made. I’ve considered pink & black, then various shades of pink, to purple and green, to pink and purple and blue, as well as…

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!

The Colors That Inspired It All

September 25th, 2009 @ 12:24 pm by Miss Dachshund

I’m putting some of our “real wedding” projects on hold because Halloween is so soon, but I don’t want you to think that our actual wedding isn’t the main event!

I thought I’d give you a quick peek at how I’m imagining our wedding day, starting with our colors.

Despite my chronic indecisiveness, choosing the color story for our wedding was a pretty simple task. I knew…

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!

Stinkin’ Cute and Perfect for Weddings

If you’re in the mood to die from cute overload today, head on over to Jellybeans. The artist behind Jellybeans, Angela, creates these watercolor paintings full of whimsy and joy. Her main motif, the tree, is so symbolic for love and child rearing. It’s like a little colorful dose of “The Giving Tree.”

Mr. Parfait Dreams Up the Day

September 22nd, 2009 @ 3:33 pm by Miss Parfait

When we first got engaged, Mr. Parfait and I spent a night separately writing out our ideas of the “dream wedding”. If you can’t tell from the premise, this was totally my idea. We wrote what we’d choose for each element of a wedding if our budget, time, and resources were limitless, and then we compared our lists. Let’s start with Mr. Parfait’s notes, shall…

Pretend Planning

September 22nd, 2009 @ 11:01 am by Miss Parfait

I have a secret.

I have been “pretend planning” my wedding for years.

“Pretend planning” was a byproduct of my voracious appetite for lovely images and creative ideas. “Pretend planning” involved the hourly visitation of favorite wedding blogs and daily discovery of new wedding websites. It also involved saving every glorious wedding idea and image that appealed to me on my computer. Now that I’m actually planning…

Inspiration from Old, Dead, White Guy

September 21st, 2009 @ 12:15 pm by Miss Lamb

So Miss Snapdragon wrote about her van Gogh inspired wedding ideas and I really identified with her. Since I began to have serious grown-up dreams about my wedding, I’ve always associated my ideas with a particular painting. Snappy’s van Gogh happens to be my John Singer Sargent.

My favorite painting of his, "Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose", embodied what I felt like was a perfect, ethereal, Gatsby-esque, summer, dream wedding.
