About Me: Mr. Cupcake and I hit it off at a Halloween party and immediately began a long-distance relationship. 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 from the day, all courtesy of Brian Dorsey Studios. I’m sure you’ll be able to see why I was so envious of their spectacular day!
Before heading to the venue, the happy couple had their first meeting in a local park

As Miss Jasmine has shown us, Indian culture is incredibly rich, colorful, and vibrant. Last summer, one of my best friends married his beautiful wife with a 4-day long celebration full of Indian traditions and lively dancing. I’ll share some details of the Gujurati garba-raas event, which took place the night before their ceremony and reception. It was amazing to watch and even more exhilarating to be a part of!

About Me: I am a passionate designer who loves anything pretty. I heart all paper products (eco-friendly of course). My passion revolves around anything considered glamour; vintage and modern.

As I was reading my daily blogs, while sipping tea of course, I came across an awesome post by Mimi of Enjoy Celebrations about a stunning wedding she coordinated last December. The bride Erin is Mimi’s friend and I knew I had to share her wedding with you.

The entire venue is exactly how I envisioned my dream wedding, the decorations and details are simply right on. Their wedding was photographed by the renown Leigh Miller, and it’s no understatement that she did a fabulous job capturing the essence. The pictures are jaw-dropping, just take a look for yourself!

Mr. D and I went to a gorgeous and FUN wedding in Atlanta this past weekend. Not only was it so great to see old friends, but it also gave us more ideas and tips for our own wedding! I thought I would share a couple key things we learned and will keep in mind when our wedding rolls around!

Last night Mr. Bee and I attended a wedding at a unique and intimate Manhattan venue called the Explorers Club. Mr. Bee called it an “intellectual wedding” because it was a wedding between two lawyers, presided over by a judge. There was also very little dancing and partying as the focus was on eloquent and heartfelt speeches by the father of the groom, father and mother of the bride, best man, maid of honor, the mc, and the groom interspersed throughout the evening.
Despite my not even knowing anyone there and Mr. Bee not being a big fan of weddings in general, we both agreed that it was one of the best weddings we’ve ever attended.

It was perfect weather for an outdoor ceremony. This intimate venue seats a maximum of about 100 people.

I’ve already shared my friend Hee Won’s engagement ring, her engagement pics, and the video of Peter serenading her, so now it’s finally time to share some pictures of their wedding day!
The wedding was held at the beautiful Greystone Mansion and Park. Though Greystone’s zip code is 90210, it’s a public park so rental fees are surprisingly affordable.

I just got back from LA this morning after attending the beautiful wedding of my very dear friends Hee Won and Peter. I still have to organize all the pictures, but I had to share this video! I hope they don’t mind me sharing this sweet story.
Hee Won and Peter have this ongoing inside joke where she asks him to serenade her. Their wedding website url is even a reference to this inside joke. Peter always refuses to serenade Hee Won, so she’d say that as long as he did it once before she was 80, that was all she wanted.
Fast forward to the wedding day - Peter had asked his friend, who often sings at weddings, to perform a song during the reception. Hee Won knew about this beforehand, so she wasn’t surprised when she was asked to sit in a chair as Peter’s friend starting playing his guitar.
Then Peter came out with a mic, and everyone - especially Hee Won - was completely surprised!
It’s moments like these that make a wedding truly special - it was the best part of the entire wedding.
