I’m Not Gonna Lie. I Like To Eat.
October 10th, 2007 @ 2:26 pm by Mrs. Strawberry
Everyone kept telling me that I wouldn’t have time to eat. Screw that. I MADE time. Turkey stuffed figs, wrapped in bacon? Mini cubano sandwiches? Mashed potato martini bar? Carving station? Yeah, I don’t pass those kinds of things up.
Lemon Day VIII: Purty…Purty Flowers
October 9th, 2007 @ 4:25 pm by Mrs. Lemon
I love flowers, but when it came to the exact flowers I wanted for the wedding, I was clueless. I knew I wanted whites, creams and blues. Oh… and they needed to be naturally arranged as opposed to being symmetric and modern. And pretty…. really really pretty. Thank goodness my florist (Kim England) read through my wants and used her creativity to deliver exactly what I had hoped for!
Ceremony Decor
October 7th, 2007 @ 2:48 pm by Mrs. Jasmine
Our ceremony will be held outdoors in the garden of our venue, the InterContinental Los Angeles. It’s a really beautiful blank canvas for us to work with (I wish I could find a picture of the garden undecorated– sorry about that!). I’m imagining a classic, clean look with lots of vibrant colors in shades of burgundy and dark pink.
By a stroke of good luck, I came across this picture of the InterContinental garden decorated for an Indian wedding (images courtesy of Andrena Photo).
Faux Centerpieces

We stopped by Target yesterday to pick up some travel size goodies for our upcoming trip and I couldn’t resist buying some faux flowers and fruit vase fillers.
One Bloom Bouquets
October 5th, 2007 @ 4:59 pm by Mrs. Penguin
There is something incredibly clean and simple about bouquets containing only one type of flower. Ever since Mr. Penguin’s step-sister carried a bride’s bouquet made up entirely of stephanotis, I was hooked. I really want my bridesmaids and I to carry bouquets containing only one flower.
Flowers and Fabric and Petals, Oh My!
October 2nd, 2007 @ 6:13 pm by Mrs. Emerald
Oh, how I miss my wedding! How I wish it wasn’t over and just a beautiful memory in my mind… just kidding, I love being married! But all the same, I miss the whole process, all the minutia, the DIY, the excitement and the anticipation…
But let me recap one of my favorite aspects of our wedding, one which we dedicated a lot of thought, effort and uhmm, dough, to getting *just right.* The decor!
Flowers - Fleur Couture
Fleur was one of my favorite vendors, and I really, really enjoyed working with the owner, Kelly Marie. Her work is so amazingly fantabulous… and reasonably priced to boot (ok, she’s not “cheap” by any means, but relative to her competitors, she’s definitely reasonable). She was so patient with my numerous emails and did her best to answer my questions in a timely manner. We met 3 times over the course of 9 months, and I always knew I was in good hands. (FYI, I decided to be crazy and provided ALL my own glassware, candles, votives, lanterns, everything right down to the river rocks!!)
