Wedding Blog

When Mrs. Bee asked the question on the boards, “Why do you love Weddingbee?” it was natural and easy for me to name all the reasons why I love Weddingbee. Seeing it grow and evolve is such a reward.

Mrs. Cupcake said, “Weddingbee completely shaped my wedding.” That is exactly how I felt, so I added, “… thank you to all the bees before me. Your weddings shaped…

I don’t know about you, but I am a fan of wedding related movies. Actually, I have to admit that I’m a girly girl and love all chick flicks. Even though I haven’t seen Bride Wars (don’t worry, it’s on my to-do list), I can never get enough of wedding movies. I saw the trailer for the movie ’The Proposal’, and it looks hilarious. (I…

When I was planning my own wedding, I loved seeing inspiration boards. I couldn’t get enough and I was making myself some as well. It really gave an overall feel of what type of wedding I was going for,  and it’s a great starting point to any party planning.

What I loved even more was seeing real wedding inspiration boards and comparing the original ideas with…

Alright I can’t wait any longer and must share this with you. I know I’m not finished doing all my recap posts, but I am way too excited to wait until I am done the recaps. One thing I loved about our wedding was our videographer. We were so lucky to have Wes Jones of Film Jones come to Montreal to film our wedding in 8 mm, not to mention…

I got THE call yesterday… my dress is clean and ready to be stored. So it hit me more that I thought it would. I realized that this was it - that I would probably never wear my dress again, and it really made me sad. If there is one thing in our whole wedding that I absolutely loved and would do again, my dress would be it.…

Hey everyone… in case you don’t remember me, it’s Mrs. Flamingo. I apologize for not being present these past couple of months. Let’s just say that there has been much movement in my life, and because of it I have been way too busy… it’s crazy. (It’s positive - don’t worry. I got a new Graphic Design job that I love.) I absolutely wanted to…

Having the opportunity to do a Day After Shoot is amazing. Now only do you have the chance to get dolled up again, but you can really take the time to pose for pictures since on the wedding day, time isn’t your best friend. On our wedding day, we got some great pictures, but not the kind of pictures I was hoping for.

I wanted something different and unique,…

When we started planning the wedding, Mr. Flamingo and I decided not give each other gifts in order to save that money for something else. At first it seemed to be a good idea, until I found the perfect gift for Mr. F! I knew he would be extremely happy about the gift I chose for him and I honestly didn’t expect anything in return.…

Saying “I do” was magical. It was the moment we dreamed of and it felt like a fairytale that had come true! To add to the already amazing day, we were blessed to have my godmother and my sister-in-law do readings. They were stressed out and nervous about it, but they did a great job!

Our wedding cake was so beautiful! It was literally a show stopper, or should I say a conversation starter. All our guests commented on how unique and glamorous it was, and it made me extremely happy to know that people actually paid attention. We wanted something unique, and thanks to all you readers, we finally had the perfect balance of brown, ivory and design.

For our…

On our way to the church, it finally hit me. I was getting married today and the nerves kicked in majorly. I don’t know why I felt like this, but my stomach was in knots. Thank goodness my daddy was in the limo with me, so we had some time to talk and bond before he finally gave me away.

When we approached the church, I was…

When I woke up, the first thing I did was go immediately on the computer to blog for Weddingbee. Yes yes, who blogs on their wedding day… apparently me. With all the excitement of the last preparations, I had forgotten to write my last post as a Miss and it was a must on my to-do list. Then it was weather check time. It rained…

I love detail shots and since I worked hard DIYing some elements of my attire, I wanted to make sure I had pictures to remember forever all the hard work and crazy hours I spent. When the photographer arrived, I asked him if he could take pictures of our details and he did just that.

I…

Being a designer, I need to work with Photoshop sometimes. I’m no pro, but I thought I could try my hand at color correcting pictures. When we hired our wedding photographer, I didn’t want him to do any color corrections because I figured I could do it myself (and save extra $$$ at the same time). Little did I know it isn’t as easy as…

Gift giving is always fun, but it’s extremely hard when all your bridesmaids have different personalities and styles. I still wanted to give them the same things, so that they would all have gifts that were representative of our wedding.

I had a really hard time figuring out what I would give them, but after months of searching, I finally found some things I thought they…
