Last Friday I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Joey, Miss Burgundy, Boddy, and Rachael in San Diego. We had so much fun talking and laughing while enjoying some delicious desserts. Although I have to admit, we probably sounded pretty funny to anyone listening to our conversation. “Lemonade is getting married this weekend. Oh, did you see Deviled Egg’s cake? Cupcake’s recaps have been great.”…

I grew up in San Diego and absolutely love it. Even though I am currently living in Orange County, I am hoping that one day we will be able to return to San Diego. To be honest, there are so many thoughts that come to mind for a honeymoon in my hometown, that it has taken me a while to put everything together. San Diego…

We haven’t had too much conflict over wedding planning issues. Some questions have come up, but we usually resolve them quickly and reach a happy compromise. However, there is the one thing that has continually come up and always ends in a disagreement. Part of me feels so silly for sharing this, but if anyone can relate, or it helps someone, then it’s worth posting.

As I relax and recover this week, I’m hoping to get some wedding stuff done, since I don’t sit still too well. The first big thing that needs to get out are our save the dates. I had originally hoped to have these out in the mail in January or February, however with all the medical stuff going on, that has just not happened. We…

I’ve told you about my philosophy of picking vendors, our amazing coordinator, and why I needed to ask for help. What I haven’t shared with you yet is who our fabulous photographer is. I guess I should probably tell you how I met him.
I actually knew about Mike’s photography well before Mr. Ducky and I were engaged. Several of our mutual friends and acquaintances have…

One of the things I’ve been working on is researching florists for the wedding. I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to flowers, so I’ve been slowly learning and researching more. Yesterday I was reading Weddingbee PRO and came across this great post by Nancy from Nancy Liu Chin Designs. She broke down all the different components of flowers that you need and how to…

It is so important to be able to step back and ask for help when we need it. It is what will keep us sane in life and from going on overload. (This is my inner therapist talking; it is a whole different ballgame taking my own advice.) This same concept of asking for help applies to wedding planning. Since I already shared my amazing…

I am quickly finding that it is so fun to meet people via the blogging world. It’s like you get to know little snippets here and there and be inspired at the same time. My newest discovery came from a comment that someone left me not too long ago. I had commented on a Weddingbee post about a San Diego photographer and Sarah linked to…

First of all, thank you so much for the outpouring of well wishes, good thoughts and prayers on my post on Friday. It meant so much to be able to read each of your comments over the last few days. It was comforting to know that others have had similar medical issues and gotten through it all. And we have so many medical bees!…

Alright, let’s be real. How many wedding magazines have you bought thus far? I am not even sure I can count. Plus, I “inherited” a pile from one of my best friends who got married shortly after our engagement. I definitely have my favorite magazines. I’ve found that some magazines are so full of advertisements and other random things that they aren’t too useful. The…

Wedding planning and the preparation for a transition into a new chapter of life is stressful. We learn to balance it along with our regular lives of work, school, family, and everything else going on. We have our to-do lists, countdowns, Excel spreadsheets, and the plan in place to make sure that everything happens without a blip on the radar. This described me; I had…

When I first began to think about who we wanted to work with for our wedding when it came to vendors, location etc., I thought about it as if I were picking my team. We’re not just picking people to work for us, or paying for a simple service. We’re searching for a group of people that we want to work with during this crazy…

Earlier I left off having left Mon Amie and stopping for a much needed lunch break.
The next store we went to was The White Dress in Corona Del Mar. I’d say between Mon Amie and The White Dress, every designer you could possibly think of is covered. Maybe not… but very close, if you are looking to cover your bases in two trips.
