I like reading wedding blogs, Photoshopping wedding design mock ups, making lists, and planning, planning, planning! I’m a bit of an anomaly, on one side I’m a very girlie girl, I collect shoes, I lay out my outfits 4-6 weeks in advance, and I’d never leave the house without my hair curled and makeup on. But on the other side, I’m a total tomboy, I love to go camping and hiking, play drinking games (hey, I’m Irish!) and most of my closest friends are guys. My fiancé and I are planning a DIY-focused wedding with a balance between easygoing (what he wants) and chic and stylish (what I want), and are tying it all together with elements in lavender, sage, butter cream and chocolate.

Michaels and My D’Oh! Moment

November 20th, 2009 @ 5:16 pm by Miss Cola

I’m hoping I haven’t bitten off more than I can chew. I mean, I’m crafty, right? I always used to ace school projects—just give me poster board, some markers and some glue, and I could whip out a project like nothing. But that was in elementary school…

And I’ve been sewing since about 6th grade, when my mom got me a pattern to make a snappy…

Organza Flower Use Idea #1

Remember my organza flower DIY craftiness? I mentioned that I wasn’t 100% sure what I was going to end up using the flowers for. Here’s one idea (inspired by bunting flags!):

Photoshop Goodness!

November 19th, 2009 @ 12:43 pm by Miss Cola

Alright, I admit it, I’m a Photoshop dork. I taught myself how to use it about 5 years ago for a job, and have been obsessed ever since! It really helps me visualize my projects to lay them out in two dimensions, and will (hopefully!) serve as a blueprint for our DOC (when we pick one) to set up everything as we envision. I will…

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.

Gotta. Gotta. Getta GOCCO!

November 17th, 2009 @ 5:58 pm by Miss Pretzel

One day I texted Mr Pretzel: “We gotta get a Gocco.” He laughed, texted, “what the heck is that?” and I promised to show him that night after dinner. This was the beginning of my obsession with the Gocco. Weddingbee is 100% responsible for my Gocco obsession. Mr P and I had decided to design our invites and I was convinced that we would use…

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 Poodle

With just two days until our legal ceremony, I had the (last minute) great idea of making leis for all 16 of our guests. My love for origami shined when we decided the kind of leis we would be making. It was kind of crazy to fold all of those origami flowers by myself so I asked for help from Bridesmaid K, since we were going to have dinner at her place anyway. So, I packed all my supplies and hoped she would help us.

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!

Hostess with the Mostest

November 12th, 2009 @ 2:45 pm by Miss Lamb

So many lovely hostesses helped make my shower special and I wanted to give them small tokens of my appreciation. I decided to make them some magnets that they could use on their fridges or in the office. I loved crafting them by hand and hoped that they seemed extra special to the ladies!

I was really excited that I already had most items that I…

The Gocco Has Landed.

November 10th, 2009 @ 2:51 pm by Miss Snow

I repeat, the Gocco has landed.

Mr. Snow couldn’t wait any longer to play with it, so a few weeks ago, we went out and bought some basic linen-like napkins to use in the first Gocco experiment. Mr. Snow quickly put together a logo (literally, it took him five minutes), and we started to print. At best, this first project will be restroom towels or rehearsal…

An Exciting Discovery!

November 9th, 2009 @ 12:54 pm by Miss Trail Mix

For those of you who live in normal-land (i.e. not New York City), there are probably a plethora of craft stores within an easy drive (or at least one). Here in New York, that is not the case. It is a well-documented phenomena within the NYC crafting set that the store options are few and far between. While it’s true that you can get anything…

I *should* be writing papers or reading copious amounts of theatre historiography, so naturally, that means it is time to blog about my most recent crafting adventure.

I hope my bridesmaids will all have different dresses in a similar color family (but not necessarily by the same designer or even from the same place… I love weddings where the bridesmaids have super unique dresses ala this…

Crafting Geekery

I have two new crafting tools. My crafting guru Martha lures me with her siren song of well-designed scrapbooking gadgets.

DIY Project #2: Paper Pyramids

Gocco Vs. Yudu

October 30th, 2009 @ 2:02 pm by Miss Snow

Mr. Snow is a designer. He has some experience with screen printing, and we’d like to put those skills to good use in our wedding for invites, napkins, t-shirts, tote bags, and everything printable under the sun. :)

But our existence in a tiny two-bedroom apartment without access to a printing studio makes this idea a little... challenging to execute.

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!
About Miss Hamster

Prior to actually creating our save-the-dates, I had never done any embossing. But oh, what fun it was! Embossing the return address on our save-the-date envelopes was a quick and easy way to add a little extra touch to the finished product (and justify my heat-gun purchase, woo hoo!).

You will need:

  • Rubber stamp
  • Pigment ink pad
  • Clear embossing powder
  • Heat gun (I heard an iron works as well, but…

Do You Like To “Do-It-Yourself”?
