Mrs. Glitter, Los Angeles Age and Occupation: 27, Research Consultant/Writer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Accounting Engagement Date: May 6, 2007 Wedding Date: June, 2009 Venue: Millenium Biltmore Hotel About Me: I was born and raised in West Los Angeles, California. I spent eight years in the Northeast working and completing my education. Having split time between two sides of the country has given me a true appreciation for both coasts. It has also provided an overabundance of cross country drives, flights and long distance relationship fun/misery! I love my family, my doggy Emma, fabulous wine, Anthropologie, politics, reading, being outdoors, exploring new cities, and good movies! My fiance and I are complete opposites, but somehow we have managed to fall completely and hopelessly in love.

Preppy Perfection

February 26th, 2009 @ 6:14 pm by Mrs. Glitter

I went to Catholic school for almost ten years. We wore plaid skirts, collared white shirts, and penny loafers every day (pre-Britney Spears’ “Hit Me Baby One More Time”. So, it wasn’t sexy or cool to dress like that at the time). But I guess you can say, I have always been a tad bit preppy. Our wedding will not reflect much of my preppy…

Secret Life of Married Bees: The Kiwi Version

February 26th, 2009 @ 3:26 pm by Mrs. Kiwi

I’m going waaaay back here, to November of 2008 - The Secret Life of Bees, Weddingbee edition, version Kiwi.

Here are some things you don’t know about me:

1. I still count on my fingers. Sure, most of the time I can figure it out without it, but then I count on my fingers to make sure my guess was correct. And yes, I AM a bookkeeper,…

Here Comes the Bride

February 26th, 2009 @ 2:14 pm by Mrs. Caramel

I think this story should be funny by now, but I still can’t seem to shrug off this one very important, crucial part of our wedding…

The one moment of the wedding day that I was most nervous about was walking down the aisle. Don’t trip, don’t walk too fast, don’t take your eyes off the groom, and most importantly—try not to ugly-cry. And I remember…

Something Blue for the Bride

It’s hard to believe, but Sister Daffodil’s wedding is in three months! As her big sister and MOH (and not to mention, ahem, a newlywed who misses the whole wedding planning process), how can I help myself but do everything I can to help make her day perfect! I’ve got some great DIY paper crafts that I made for her wedding that I will share…

Vendor Review: Commerce Flowers

February 25th, 2009 @ 6:34 pm by Mrs. Jasmine

I will never forget the first time I received flowers (sorry Mr. J, but they were not from you). It was a lush bouquet of peach roses lightly tinged with pink. Even after they wilted, I picked off all the petals and kept them in a jar (hmm, maybe this story is more about the boy who gave them to me and less about the…

Spiffing Up Groomie

February 25th, 2009 @ 3:55 pm by Mrs. Glitter

For the past couple of months I have been taking better care of myself and have been trying to prioritize my health and skincare (e.g. cutting out nasty habits like eating junk food and falling asleep with make-up on, increasing my workouts to every other day, and finally starting to take vitamins daily). I have been so busy worrying about myself (how vain!) that I…

The Hot Cocoas: The First Fifteen Years.

February 24th, 2009 @ 3:45 pm by Mrs. Hot Cocoa

For Valentine’s Day, I gave Mr. HC a Blurb book, entitled The Hot Cocoas: The First Fifteen Years. But lest you get the misimpression that I’m such the loving fiancee, devoting endless hours to doing romantic gestures for Mr. HC, I should tell you that the book is actually our guestbook. (I’m all about 2-for-1 deals.)

The Tao of Kiwi

February 24th, 2009 @ 2:54 pm by Mrs. Kiwi

I’m an old married lady. No longer watching for the new issue of Martha Stewart Weddings, now I’m reading Real Simple, and religiously checking Apartment Therapy Los Angeles for tips on furnishing our new pad. Still, not much else has changed.

Here are some things I think would be good to know about being married, stuff I learned post-ceremony.

1.) The wedding is not the most stressful…

A Tale of Long Dstance Bridesmaids

February 23rd, 2009 @ 3:55 pm by Mrs. Glitter

It seems pretty common these days to have a long distance bridal party. Couples often do not get married in their hometown or city. School and work can move people across the state, country, or world. However you slice it, geography is a challenge. Such is the case with my bridal party. My maid of honor, N, is my best friend from college and lives…

After the Fact - by Tina Dela Rosa

Mr. Kiwi and I had been married a year and a month when one of his best buddies offered us a super cool Christmas present: she would take portraits of us!

Bustle and Flow

I hadn’t planned on displaying my bee-hind to you so early; I thought you’d at least take me out to dinner first. But since yesterday’s Weddingbee Wiki post was on bustles, I figured I’d be topical and show you the photos of my bustle from my second fitting yesterday.

Do We Cover Them?

February 17th, 2009 @ 1:07 pm by Mrs. Glitter

I’m talking about chairs and chair covers today. I know, don’t get too excited. But, when you think about it, even though chairs are such a minor consideration compared to other aspects of the day, they will probably sneak into a good amount of the wedding photos. And I don’t want them to look out of place. Yet, in the same vein, our budget didn’t…

Look, Ma, No Propellers!

February 16th, 2009 @ 2:27 pm by Mrs. Hot Cocoa

What’s fun about planning a Chewish wedding is that our families get to learn about wedding customs from another culture. My uncle, for example, recently asked me whether all of the men were going to wear “Yamahas” at the wedding.  The image of Mr. HC with a piano on his head made me laugh so hard I almost choked.

He meant yarmulkes.

Hello! Pretty

February 12th, 2009 @ 10:31 am by Mrs. Hot Cocoa

Being an overly optimistic DIY-loving bride, I assumed I was going to Gocco the invitations for our welcome dinner and farewell brunch. But you know what they say about assuming…

Thank goodness I have generous future parents-in-law who came to my rescue when I realized that I had far too much on my plate. Because of them, instead of smoke signals, we’ll be sending these beauties…
