You’ve been asking… I’ve been wishing… we’ve all been waiting… and finally, our first “batch” of Trash the Dress pics were blogged!
I’m really excited that these are the first we’re seeing, because it was with our favorite photographer of the day: the adorably sweet and fun Jordana Taylor Hazel of Hazelnut Photography!
Jordana and her similarly swoonable hubby Chris (aka her bad-ass assistant) found us late in the day, just as the sun was losing its shine. But, Jordana came prepared with some fun flashy toys and fired away! They were up for some really fierce and funky shots, and these are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the great time we all had. I remember lots of giggling, squealing, and bouncing up and down… and that was just Chris and Mr. Meatball. 
We were so impressed by spending that hour with Jordana. I highly recommend her to any couple for their big day, a boudoir session, or their own Trash the Dress shoot. She’s funky and spirited, with a great eye and natural talent. I hope to not only work with her again, but to also play with her as friends very soon!
Enough talk - let’s let these babies speak for themselves!
Big love under a big plane. Read more…
And Miss Becomes Mrs.
October 31st, 2008 @ 9:33 am by Mrs. Hydrangea
I was completely surprised that our ceremony was exactly one hour long, maybe even a little less, considering all of the Spanish traditions that we included in our ceremony. We were so on top of things time wise, that I waited in the bridal room for almost two hours before I could see Mr. H again!
Here are some highlights of when we finally said our I dos, after 14 months of planning!

Love Made Simple: The Ladies Prep and Pose
October 30th, 2008 @ 3:54 pm by Mrs. Cookie
By 7:00 AM, I was wide-awake. To be honest, I barely slept. The adrenaline, anxiety, and sheer joy of the moment hindered me from sleeping. I kept eyeing the alarm clock about every hour thinking, “Is it time to get up?” Since we decided to not see one another before the wedding ceremony, I kissed Mr. Cookie goodnight and spent my last night as a single gal with my MOH in a nearby Residence Inn. I tossed, turned, drifted into a fog, and then I was wide-awake.
Although I didn’t get the perfect night’s sleep, I was a ball of energy and nerves. I tried to eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast, took two bites, and was done. I could barely eat—too nervous. I guess my inner control freak was getting to me. I was so worried that all the DIY goodness that I had slaved over, and that I reluctantly put into the hands of both our parents to set-up, would not make it to Breckenridge intact. As I reach for my cell phone to appease my nerves, my MOH snatched it from my hands and rushed me to the nearest Starbucks. Once that caffeine hit my bloodstream, ironically the pre-wedding jitters subsided. What can I say, I am totally addicted to coffee and I had the best MOH ever!
We took a quick jaunt over to the hair stylist and then were off to Breckenridge.

I Do! Daffodil Day Pt. VI
October 29th, 2008 @ 4:36 pm by Mrs. Daffodil
Pt. I: Make Me Pretty!
Pt. II: Time to Get Bridal
Pt. III: On the Other Side
Pt. IV: I See You!
Pt. V: The Final Countdown
I will never forget the surreal experience of walking down the aisle. In all the blissful blur of the entire wedding day, walking down the aisle is the one moment that remains crystal clear in my mind. Have you guys ever seen the movie, “Big Fish”? I felt as if it were like the last scene in the movie, where the dad is heading toward the lake, his final destination, and along his path he sees the faces of everyone who played a significant role in his life - smiling, loving, egging him on. That’s really what it felt like to me, and I finally understood why that was such a perfect ending to that movie!

The pro pics have finally arrived and I’m uncertain about where to begin. Guess I’ll start you guys off on a little somethin’ somethin’ while I gather my thoughts!
Something Old - Classic Tiffany gold heart pendant that was a gift from FIL to MIL ages ago, which I wrapped around my bouquet…
A Little Time for Us
October 27th, 2008 @ 6:09 pm by Ms. Dahlia
Early in the wedding planning, we knew that we wanted to take some time in between the ceremony and the reception just for us. I don’t generally like being the center of attention, and it was important for both of us to get a bit of a break and have a little time just for us.
First stop was a tea house on Murray Hill that we would visit when we were just friends.
And some chess—since that was how we initially got together. No, that’s not a beer—I opted for iced tea.

09.27.08 - The First Look
October 27th, 2008 @ 1:50 pm by Mrs. Hydrangea
Mr. H and I opted to see each other before the ceremony. The main reason for this was because our ceremony started so late (6:30 PM), was a full hour-long mass, and we would still be taking some family pics at the altar after the wedding. We wanted to get some good pics with each other and with our bridal party, so meeting before was our best option, and I’m so happy that we chose to do this because it eased a lot of nerves (especially Mr. H’s)!

I got in one quick shot of myself before the wedding.
This Week, I Am The Bride!
October 27th, 2008 @ 9:33 am by Mrs. Coconut
As the wedding is now just days away, I guess it’s poignant to post some additional bridal portraits of myself. I’ve had the most wonderful year and a half, planning this wedding and learning from all of you out there in blog land. Thank you so much for your compassion and creative energy. I’ll do one or two more posts this week!
Receiving Our Guests
October 26th, 2008 @ 6:36 pm by Ms. Dahlia
We’re finally settled into our New York digs, which means that it is time for the wedding recap to begin again. Who knew working a real job (that involves a lot of travel!) would be so crazy?
We made it to the end of the church, and proceeded to kiss some more.
