I'm from Chicago, he's from NYC, and we both miss public transit and great pizza. We have an adorable muppet dog called Paco. I'm part hippie with a healthy dash of hip hop superstar, have excessive empathy for animals, and have not one, but two bionic eyes (long story). We're broke and it ain't no joke. It can't stop us from planning the bold and whimsical wedding of our dreams, but we've had to get pretty creative to make it work, yo!

Magic Beds for Guest-y Heads

October 24th, 2008 @ 4:12 pm by Mrs. Meatball

Whenever our family or friends come to visit Los Angeles, we heartily recommend the Magic Castle Hotel in Hollywood. They have the BEST customer service out there - our favorite element of which is the FREE, unlimited snack/beverage/DVD rental service they offer. Normally a diet coke is upwards of $2 at a hotel! Plus, in the summer, they bring popsicles out to the pool every…

I find any excuse I can to craft something and am completely infatuated with the 1950’s, all things Kennedy, and my furbaby Vida.
About Mrs. Lemonade

I had lunch with one of my bridal babes recently, and inevitably conversation turned towards the wedding. I have no idea how we got on the subject, but we started talking about valet services. Yes, you read that correctly – valet services.

The Club will provide one valet free of charge for our guests, and recommends that we have one for every 50 guests. I’ve…

I can make that!' Nerdy professional by day, goofy won-ton by night. The won-ton sometimes comes out during the day when I'm fed the dollar breakfast at Ikea. Since our engagement, wedding planning has put me on high alert for bargains and I've been pushing my nimble fingers through callous building experiments!

Considerations

August 19th, 2008 @ 4:24 pm by Mrs. Green Tea

Along our wedding planning process, we’ve tried to put ourselves in the guests’ shoes. After all, this will be as much a day for them as it is for us! Here are some of the things we’ve put together to optimize their wedding guest experience:

1. Taxi Tags - we’ve already informed guests via our wedding website that the venue allows overnight parking if they need…

OOT Bags

August 6th, 2008 @ 3:25 pm by Mrs. Lovebird

Considering all of our 90+ guests were all flying to Cancun for our wedding, we knew our OOT bags were not going to be an easy task.

First off, we had to decide on how big we actually wanted to make these babies, keeping in mind that we would have to transport them all the way down to Mexico. Initially, I was all about the canvas totes; then…

For the OOT’ers

July 16th, 2008 @ 9:29 am by Mrs. Tiramisu

The other night on Miss Gingerbread’s BeeTV broadcast, a question was posed to us Bees with only a few days left until our weddings: “What did you want to do that you just didn’t get done?” I couldn’t really think of anything at the time, which I I took as a pretty awesome sign that I’ve actually finished up almost all of the projects that…

Take Me There

June 2nd, 2008 @ 1:35 pm by Mrs. Penguin

Our wedding is WAY out in the middle of nowhere.  I mean, it might as well be on the moon.   The problem is if you Google or Mapquest directions to the site, they take you on a really unnecessarily difficult route to get there, so we’re directing our guests the easy, 3 turn way, which in the end, is a couple miles longer, yet gives…

Are You Thirsty?

May 29th, 2008 @ 4:31 pm by Mrs. Hydrangea

For our OOT bags, I knew that I wanted to put in a couple of bottles of water with our logo on them. Since water doesn’t go bad, I figured I might as well get these knocked off my to do list. I decided to use Nestle bottles of water because the labels are the easiest to remove. I took off a label, measured it,…

How do I know it’s getting close? Because the OOT bags are ready to go!! This was a long time coming, since those tote bags had been sitting here since December. And now I get to share the process!!

Step 1: Ordering totes. There were a few routes I was considering:

I thought these were super cute, and they’re only $2/piece for the large size. However, the “large”…

Out of Town Bags

May 21st, 2008 @ 4:38 pm by Mrs. Sundae

I plan on providing all the guests staying in our hotel with “out of town” bags. I wanted to do something a little different, so I ordered canvas totes from cheaptotes.com. The basic cotton canvas totes are just 99 cents, so I figured I couldn’t go to wrong! I ordered just 5 to test them out, but liked them enough to order the rest.

Bathroom Baskets

May 20th, 2008 @ 12:38 pm by Mrs. Sundae

I’ve had my eye on everything at The MacBeth Collection for quite awhile, but I could never justify actually making a purchase. All of their stuff is painfully cute, but I didn’t actually need a damask trash can. Then a few weeks ago I came across a 25% off coupon, which got my wheels spinning, and the very next day someone suggested using the oval tubs for…

Lip Smacking Good

One of the great things I’ve come across are personalized lip balms from Lip Balm Express!

Box ‘O Shoes

April 7th, 2008 @ 4:28 pm by Mrs. Sundae

Mama Sundae and I found this box at Hobby Lobby, but the first time we saw it I passed it up. When we went back and it was still there a few months later, on sale, I knew that I had to have it. It’s actually covered with a thick, almost canvas-like fabric and has some great grosgrain ribbon tied around it. Part of the reason…
