This summer I was honored to be a guest at a wedding in Burlington, Vermont for my close friends Julie and Brian. They’ve dated since high school, and they’re both very active nature lovers, so I knew their Burlington wedding would reflect their personalities.
It was a beautiful and romantic day wedding near the beach of Lake Champlain. When we walked up to the wedding site,…

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!
Last Thursday, Mr. Meatball and I witnessed the marriage of our very dear friends—one of whom (the groom) will be officiating our wedding! It was beautiful. It was very beachy, very lovely, very them. Broke-ass brides, listen up—this was a very budget-friendly event, but came off extremely luxe and personal.
The wedding was held at the Pacific Edge House at the Vacation Village Hotel on Laguna…

Living in Las Vegas has definitely been an adventure and Mr. Dumpling and I are loving every minute of it! We are planning a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony and a reception with lots of DIY! We might even get Elvis to show up! I'm a HUGE Beatles fan, love The Office and can't wait to become a Mrs.!
My best friend and Diva of Honor, R (an avid WB reader!), got married last weekend at a cute little cottage in Port Carling, Ontario. I found out that lots of Canadians have “cottages” on the lake and I was instantly jealous! This was a very intimate family and close friends ceremony on the lake, filled with lots of DIY goodness! She used mostly homegrown…

I enjoy decorating, writing, baking sweet things, singing show tunes/dancing in public, wearing pearls, and knitting sweaters for my furbaby, Harvey, to chew upon. I heart pink, and believe that sparkles are the new black.
If you liked my rehearsal bouquet, you’re going to adore this wedding!
Megan Hunt and David Homan got married on May 31st, 2008 at the The Slowdown in Omaha, Nebraska. Like most couples getting married, they were blissfully in love. Also like many couples, these two were unaware that their wedding details would send one Miss Shortcake over the edge into a blissfully sweet, sugary coma…

I am an LDS bride attempting to plan a private religious ceremony, ring ceremony, seated reception for 100, and an open house while coordinating for guests flying in from across the United States and as far away as Poland. I try to avoid fads, excess waste, and saturated fat. I strongly endorse photography, DDR, calorie counting, rss feeds, cooking, and utilizing your resources.
Just imagine: 5 girls living with each other for 5 years. During this time none of them date much, and marriage feels like a place far far away from the life they are living. In a land of people where almost all married by 22 after less than 4 months of dating, it was a huge accomplishment for us to make it this long as…

I have a few photos from Erin’s wedding! Everything was so beautiful. Of course, there were a few snags, but in the end everything was perfect.Erin and her bridesmaids spent the night before the wedding at a hotel in Lincoln Park. I loved that! We were up late with girl talk and then up early watching the Weather Channel together. We were also ready to…

As promised, here are some more pictures of Carolyn and Josh’s wedding in Philadelphia. The reception was held at the beautiful Glen Foerd Mansion on the Delaware River. Carolyn and Josh arranged a bus that made two trips from the Omni Hotel in Philly out to Glen Foerd- first to take them and the bridal party, then to bring the guests. During our extra time we took…

I had so so so much fun this weekend helping my friend (and MOH) Carolyn celebrate her wedding to her college sweetheart, Josh in Philly. They were married at Old St. Joseph’s Church, which needed very little decoration to be beautiful.

After two years, he moved to my neck of the woods, and a year and a half after that, he proposed at the “place we fell in love.” I am a true perfectionist who enjoys designing and creating more work for myself, so wedding planning is my perfect outlet. Mr. Cupcake and I are both old souls, and we hope to weave that aspect of our personalities into our wedding day.
I posted a while ago about the venue envy I have for my brother’s wedding venue, The Angel Orensanz Foundation in NYC. Wonderful Brother Cupcake and his fabulous wife (who first introduced me to Weddingbee) got married there last June, and it was a spectacular, beautiful day. It perfectly represented this hip, fun-loving couple, and I thought I’d share with you all some great photos…
