Hey Mr. DJ

January 6th, 2009 @ 3:46 pm by Mrs. Daffodil

It takes talent to keep an event moving seamlessly and ensure that guests are entertained at all times!  This post is dedicated to Weddingbee reader thetwoparks, who referred me to our awesome DJ.  I’ll be sharing my thoughts on all our vendors in a post to come, but I wanted to specifically highlight the amazing DJ Tim Coy, who truly deserved his own post!

Getting Pretty… Again!

August 14th, 2008 @ 4:31 pm by Mrs. Canary

While waiting to post my pro pics, I thought I’d share some photos of my hair and makeup application by Sachiko Yanase for my day-after photoshoot with Angelica Glass. I had called Sachiko eons ago to try and book her for the wedding, but it was during the holiday season of last year, our schedules were colliding, and I never got a chance to meet…

We just bought our first home together and live with our two puppies and cat - it's a strange mixture of vintage, high-tech (we have 7 computers and 21 video game systems in all), and a whole lot of fur. Our wedding tries to embody the Japanese idea of "slow life", which is truly taking the time to enjoy food, company, and your environment!

I Owe You

July 28th, 2008 @ 12:15 pm by Mrs. Gummi Bear

…a complete list of our vendors, but nothing makes me more nervous than actually writing a review. I have no problem with self-deprecation, but if I have to say anything negative, I get all red and flustered and just run. So I’ll say the good, hint to anything that was… not so good, and hope that since our wedding was so long ago, that all…

The Details on the ‘Do!

July 15th, 2008 @ 6:14 pm by Mrs. Daffodil

…and a raving vendor review!  Some of you may recall the nightmare of a trial I had back in March! Well, I never got to post about the trial I went to after that, but as you can tell, I loved it and chose this artist… or rather, this company! I’ll admit they are not the most affordable (though they are definitely comparable), but I am…

Vendor Review: For the Love of Sugar

June 27th, 2008 @ 1:24 pm by Mrs. Jasmine

I have a major sweet tooth. During dinner, Mr. J will notice me pushing the food around on my plate. It doesn’t take him long to realize I’m saving room for dessert So naturally, I was very excited about the prospect of a delicious wedding cake. But, I didn’t want to blow the bank on something super ornate and detailed. A pretty, delicious, affordable cake…

At the same time, I can also be very girly with an obsession with handbags, makeup, and high heels. And art! I've studied studio art extensively, almost majored in art history, and freelance as a web and graphics designer. Mr. Peony and I are having a ball of a time planning a wedding for 250(!) guests, doing our best to infuse our personalities (geeky chic) with the wishes of our very traditional Asian parents.
About Mrs. Peony

I think it’s about time I come out of the woodwork and post some vendor reviews, don’t you think?

Hiring Christine Viola of Exquisite Affairs Productions was one of the best decisions I made. Being such an anally retentive control freak, it usually takes a force of nature for me to trust someone enough to completely hand over the reigns…Christine was that force, and much…

Tucson Vendor Reviews

May 15th, 2008 @ 6:23 pm by Mrs. Lovebug

I’m absolutely dying to share our professional photos with everyone. Dying. We met with our amazing photographer, Chris Richards, at his (naturally) super cool home a few nights ago. We had some drinks and went through our photos one by one in full-sized, high-definition glory on his flat screen. We picked out some favorites and talked about albums, proofs, prints, etc.

Mr. LB and I always knew…

Floral Ignorance, Part 2.

December 11th, 2007 @ 5:09 pm by Mrs. Gummi Bear

I already admitted I know nothing about flowers and I threw my hands up when our floral designer asked me what I wanted. I literally had no clue what I wanted her to decorate the flower girl’s wagon or our chuppah with… I just nodded and looked worried. So when we decided to pick a floral designer, we went with someone who really knew what…

My wedding dress problems have been well documented on Weddingbee but I was fairly happy with how it all turned out in the end. My dress, my MOH’s dress and my Mom’s dress all came from a wonderful shop in Regina called NWL. I can’t say enough great things about NWL and it’s owner Nadia Williamson - she was so fantastic throughout my whole wedding dress…

Now that I’m back, I can really give my final grades on my vendors.  Overall, I was happy with most of them but here is my report card:

Duke Photography: A++! I absolutely loved my photographer. Not only was he classy, super nice and very efficient — he had to deal with a lot of problems and was really cool about it. He would say, “Don’t…
