Pressing Passport Issues

Mr. Jasmine and I will be traveling to England in late August for the wedding of our very dear friends. Unfortunately for me, my passport has gone missing. After turning my apartment upside down, I’ve realized that I will just have to apply for a new one.

My Bachelorette Find

May 10th, 2008 @ 7:36 pm by Miss Jasmine

Miss Jasmine is ready to get her bachelorette on! (Cue Usher’s “Yeah” so booty-shaking can commence)

My bachelorette party is this weekend and I’m so excited! I have friends flying in from all over the country for what should be a fabulous weekend. We have mani/pedis, shopping, a fabulous dinner at my favorite Chicago restaurant, dancing, and brunch on the agenda– what more could a girl ask for?

I initially planned to be a budget Bee and wear a dress I already had, but I decided that my bachelorette bash deserved a sexy, fun (new!) dress. So I went shopping after work yesterday. Lo and behold– I found a hot dress for a very good price:

Lit From Within

May 9th, 2008 @ 12:33 pm by Miss Jasmine

I decided to keep the ball rolling on my mom’s wonderful DIY projects. Since I’ve neglected to create anything truly fabulous for the wedding that I can share with all of you, I’m hoping my mom’s contributions will suffice :)

Today’s project is my mom’s shimmery gold votives. We got the inspiration for this idea from the super talented and creative Mrs. Emerald. She created some truly beautiful votives for her wedding. My mom decided to follow Mrs. Emerald’s example and create votives for my wedding– and we loved the results!

First, we purchased plain glass votives off Ebay for a great price. Then my mom created a paper template using Mrs. Emerald’s great instructions.

Evolution of a Hatbox

May 8th, 2008 @ 10:29 am by Miss Jasmine

I’ve mentioned before how awesomely crafty my mom is. When I was younger, she made all my Halloween costumes, which were always so cool.

I wish I had the photo of me in my Princess Jasmine costume! :)

Prettier and Pinker!

May 7th, 2008 @ 2:21 pm by Miss Daffodil

It is so worth it to let your vendors know when you are not 100% satisfied. Back in February, Mr. D and I went to the florist to see a sample of our centerpieces. It was…OK. That morning, the florist had called and didn’t have the exact flowers we had wanted, but said to still come in so we could get a sense of the colors. They were fluffy and pretty, but to be honest, just looked very washed out (the dominant color had been white).

Well, we kindly requested to view another sample - We were going in again this past weekend anyway, to finalize all the details for the wedding day. Since our wedding colors are pale green with hints of blush, we thought we would try and see how things would look if we went all the way with the pinks.

Immediately, we were a million times happier with the results! Check ’em out…

Addressing Issues

invitation central!

Due to a glitch with our RSVP cards, I found myself pressed for time to send out our invitations. I wasn’t going to have time for calligraphy and the thought of hand-writing all those envelopes made my head explode. I decided labels would be the fastest, easiest, and cheapest solution, although the Emily Post in me hung her head in shame. Oh well– I decided to make them as pretty and elegant as I could and that would just have to be good enough.

Yay, I can finally share our invitation suite with my beloved bee readers! I’ve been dying to share them with all of you, but I had to wait until our guests received them first.

I literally cried when Saima Khan, of Saima Says Designs, emailed me the proof of our invitations. The design was exactly what I wanted, but could never really articulate. With a beautifully intricate monogram, hand-drawn flowers, and a lush color palette, Saima was able to perfectly capture the tone, mood, and feel of our nuptials. And when the invitations finally arrived on my doorstop, I practically hyperventilated. Okay, I actually hyperventilated.

The invitation suite: I adore the fuschia vellum bellyband with letterpressed monogram.

The Best $3.20 I Ever Spent

May 5th, 2008 @ 12:35 pm by Miss Daffodil

I lied when I said that the Xacto Laser Trimmer was the best paper cutter in the world. So then, what is the best, you ask? Well, it’s one that Mr. D found for me…(See how proud he is in this pic smiley304!) The best paper cutter EVER is…
