Being a blogger for Weddingbee has definitely made me feel special / sort of celebrity-ish at times (but seriously I'm just a normal gal who blogged about her wedding planning) and it was an honor to share it with all of yous. Some bees have been recognized in public on several occasions (crazy I know!) So when Mr.Flamingo and I took part of a <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/05/21/flamingo-spotlight/">wedding</a> tv <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/07/15/take-10-take-100-take-1000/">show</a> called La Bosse des Noces, well that definetly an interesting experience.<br />
<br />
A couple of weeks ago, I was flipping the channels on the television and came face to face... with me. Yup, our wedding was airing again on television. Kinda neat I know. I know you have been waiting to view this video for quite some time, but trying to find a way to upload the video took longer than I anticipated. But I can finally share it with you now. So for those of you who understand french - enjoy!<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>Though it may not look like it, but I was extremely nervous. Its not every day you have cameras in your face and someone prepping your makeup. A hint ? Notice how many times I say "Glamour" lol ...<br />
</div><br />
The show was about helping us out with issues we came across while planning our wedding. They helped us out with decor elements and our place card chandelier tree. What's great is that they even featured Wes Jones of <a href="http://filmjones.com/">Film Jones</a> because they found the whole 8mm video really intriguing... plus that whole segment is in english :)<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our wedding was also on the web with a detailed description of the episode (for canadians only), list of stores where they purchased the items for our wedding and DIY explanations. <a href="http://www.canalvie.com/emission/la-bosse-des-noces/episode/105337208/">Check it out here</a> (if you can read in french) Our wedding will be playing for the next 5 years (re-runs obviously) So the "Hey weren't you on TV?" remark will be common, but i can get use to that...LOL But seriously we loved our experience and would do it again in a heartbeat.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<i><b>So that's it... I'm officially done my wedding recaps. </b></i>Sniff sniff. I hope you enjoyed my blogging as Mrs.Flamingo. Now this is not an official goodbye, because I will stick around the hive and maybe blog a few more things ;) but my journey as a bee is finished. I've been around for 2 years exactly... and its my time to sign-off and let the spotlight shine on the new bees.<br />

Ask me what I can't live without? I would say the Computer/Internet... hey, its a combo, one can't live without the other... ;) Call it an addiction or just plain curiosity but I'm always online searching the net, sharing cool sites all of that. Little did I know about blogging though.<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How my Blogging obsession began: </span>(2006)<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I had heard about it from another designer friend and was really interested by this whole concept. He had a really cool personal blog sharing some personal stuff... and it got me thinking, "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">hmm</span> I wonder if people would read my blog" intrigued and of course willing to spend a couple more hours on a computer a day... I decided to start my own blog.<br /><br />I was debating at first if I would go the personal or more general route... and decided to give the personal approach a try. So I blogged about me, (still hesitate on who would actually read my blog) but I did it, shared personal and professional experiences. I did it for a couple of months but felt something was lacking. I decided to take the plunge and abandon my old blog (about me) to start a new one. One about weddings in general. Since I had been engaged for over a year, I was right in the planning and what better way to share my knowledge with others. Hence <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">that's</span> when <a href="http://glamourthis.wordpress.com/">Glamour This!</a> was born.<br /><br /><b style="">How I found the Hive of awesomeness:</b><br />Since I was blogging about weddings, posting about inspiration boards, themes, dresses... I became an avid reader of many wedding blogs <a href="http://www.diybride.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">DIY</span> Bride</a>, <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/">Style Me Pretty</a>, <a href="http://kenziekate.blogspot.com/">Something Old Something New</a>, <a href="http://perfectbound.blogspot.com/">Perfect Bound</a>,<a href="http://www.ecochicweddings.typepad.com/"> Eco-Chic Weddings</a> (that I would literally type in their URL in 5 times a day <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">cuz</span> Google Reader wasn't introduced yet... could you even believe that!!!) So when I saw several of my fave <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">bloggers</span> posted about being <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/favorite-wedding-resources/">featured</a> on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Weddingbee</span>... I clicked on the link... and that's when my life was over, and the obsession began.<br /><br /><b style="">Applying to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Weddingbee</span></b> (September 2007)<br />I couldn't believe I hadn't found this site before... all the time I spent online and never came across this goldmine. I was impressed about all the different brides blogging about their planning, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">DIY</span> projects and more. It was a whole new world for me... and like many of yous, I would refresh my page a good 15 times a day (no joke)<br /><br />Blogging was my way of talking about wedding stuff without having my family and friends sigh every two minutes because they were fed-up hearing about the dresses, the colors, the theme... you get the point. Since majority of the brides (at the time I started reading <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">WB</span> )were from the States (with the exception of <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/author/pumpkin/">Pumpkin</a>) I thought I would send in my application and hope I'd be accepted and become another Canadian Bee.<br /><br />Obviously I didn't have a personal wedding blog... but submitted my Glamour This! blog in my application. Ya, not the best idea. I received an email from Mrs.Bee saying that she really liked my current blog, but since <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">WB</span> was about blogging on a personal level, she wanted me to write up a few posts to see if I would be <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">WB</span> material ;) So I created a new blog just for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Weddingbee</span>. I was dedicated and wanted this so bad.<br /><br />After a week of personal wedding posts... I received the email that changed my life. (I know it sounds cheesy - but I swear its true) I got accepted to become a BEE. I couldn't really share the news with my family and friends... because no one had a clue what I was talking about... but that didn't matter. I GOT ACCEPTED TO BE A BEE... was introduced on October 26<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">th</span> and started blogging officially on October 27<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">th</span> 2007.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Why the pink bird?</span><br />When I was given the choice to choose an icon only a few birds were left in the pile, amongst them was the Flamingo. Mrs.Bee had told me I could wait for the next generation of icons (desserts) but that would mean I would only start blogging after the new year. Um... there was no way I could wait that long, are you kidding me. I was more excited than a kid in a candy store. Plus... looking at the flamingo put a smile on my face. It reminded me of 2 things: Pink being by far my favorite color and just the whole story behind <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2007/10/27/a-new-bird-in-town/">searching for Flamingos in Cuba when they were in our hotel all along</a>. So it was perfect for me, um I mean us :)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bee Blogging advice:</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Blogging is like anything in life, represent yourself, blog about the "real you "and not someone you think people will like. Don't loose yourself in what you see out there in the blog-o-sphere. Of course there will be prettier <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">DIY</span> projects, cooler invitation designs... but that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">doesn't</span> mean yours aren't awesome. Respect your wedding, your budget and stop comparing apple with pears.<br /><br />Also when writing posts... know that people are visual and love pictures. Now that doesn't mean you need to put in as many pictures as you can (relevant or not) but know that breaking long posts with imagery helps the flow of the post more (obviously ... do not use this post as an example)<br /><br />Lastly, never give up. Some applications are accepted first time around, others after 3 tries... there's really no winning recipe. You simply need to find your blogging voice and speak it loud and clear :)<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Why I heart <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">WB</span> more than I do chocolate: </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Weddingbee</span> has held my sanity together throughout the wedding planning. Fellow Bees and readers have given the best advice and ongoing support when I needed it the most. Plus this has become my second family and even though I've only met 3 bees, I feel like I have a connection with many of them. I've even extended this connection and made awesome friendships and talk to these bees on a regular basis.<br /><br />What I love the most about being an old bee, is that I have seen <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Weddingbee</span> grow. So many changes in the last 2 years. Addition of boards, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">WB</span> pro, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">WB</span> TV, the new <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">WB</span> look... all these little features that seem <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">indispensable</span>... weren't always there. Way to go <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">WB</span>!!! Keep the awesomeness coming.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Life after <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">Weddingbee</span>:</span><br />Obviously I'll stick around as long as I can, heck I've been married 15 months, haven't completed my recaps, plus I find reasons to blog, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">lurk</span> the boards and comment. I heart <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">Weddingbee</span> and to be honest thinking about my goodbye post or what will be the official reason for the separation scares me. So I stick around... and hope you don't mind. Lets just say I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet ;)<br /><br />If you want to know about what's going on in my crazy life... you can follow me on <a href="http://twitter.com/blushink">Twitter</a>, or read my blog: <a href="http://www.glamourthis.com">www.glamourthis.com</a> (soon to be revamped) with all my adventures of being a new home owner.<br /><br /></div>Thank you for reading my posts, commenting, giving your advice and just being there.<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">xox</span><br />FlamingoKelly | Blushinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07404403783380159875noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192224670677395514.post-45026023032875209352009-08-12T13:55:00.000-04:002009-08-12T13:55:01.519-04:00Glamnuptials : Our Minimoon<div style="text-align: justify;">WOW, I'm almost at the end of my recap posts and I've been married over a year.

Unfortunately, we soon realized that things were rather expensive... and the honeymoon was put on hold.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Originally when we would talk about honeymoon destinations, Mr.Flamingo and I weren't on the same page. He wanted <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2007/11/12/paris-itay-or-disney/">Disney</a>, I wanted Italy/Paris. Then it switched, since I knew we wouldn't agree on a place... we considered going down <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/03/10/not-paris-or-disney-somewhere-sunny/">south</a>, but we abandoned all those ideas and figured a minimoon was a better option.

The favors<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">When we were planning our wedding, the favors had been the subject of quite a <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/01/21/do-me-a-favor-be-honest/">big debate</a>. We knew we wanted to <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/03/25/giving-hope-well-trying-at-least/">offer a donation</a> to the Quebec Breast Cancer Association, but felt that our guests needed to leave with something as well. We wanted to offer something glamorous and these beautiful </span></strong>imported Italian Sparkling Water bottles were just what we were looking for.<br /><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3582/3508856642_d4d48874b3_b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3582/3508856642_d4d48874b3_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;"><em> </em></p><div style="text-align: justify;">We created little cards and <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/03/27/favors-ribbon-please/">DIY pink ribbons</a> with the mention that a donation was made in memory of my grandmother and in honor of my mother, who is a proud survivor. My mother felt so touched by the gesture.<br /><br />We put all the bottles in a nice design pattern and placed some centerpieces at the end of the table to tie everything in. Plus I had received this awesome <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/05/07/and-action/">Pottern Barn Vintage Movie Projector </a>as a gift and it added that touch of movie our favor table was lacking.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3560/3508039545_b1853d118e_b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3560/3508039545_b1853d118e_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></div><br />The guests loved our favors and still talk about them today… some even shed some tears! I'm glad we gave back to a cause that was important to the both of us... and hopefully one day, our contribution will have paid off.<br /></div><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span

not a photographer...<div style="text-align: justify;">A couple of months ago, I was happy to find out that my cousin was getting married. What's funny is that I had never ever thought she would tie the knot, but admitted she did it for her fiance. Marriage was something very important to him and she knew she'd be with him forever... so why not make it officialy. A very nice gesture on her part I found.<br /></div><div class="snap_preview"><p style="text-align: justify;">They decided they wanted a really really really small wedding, 25 people tops. Heck I wasn't even invited (which was fine of course ;) ) They were planning a wedding in 6 months, and had a very little budget to make this wedding happen. Well 2 months ago, I received an email. She asked me if I would be willing to do both her makeup and be the official photog for her wedding. They weren't paying for a photographer so she thought that I would be a better candidate to take pics than say… uncle Bob.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3441/3762668841_1c0e2c712c.jpg" alt="" height="nnn" width="600" /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2452/3774486603_a9f8105337_o.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2452/3774486603_a9f8105337_o.png" alt="" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Of course I said YES, I was actually honored that she asked me. I've had a photography background back in College but that was 6 years ago... so my photography skills were quite rusty. She lent me her Canon SX10-IS camera so that I would have time to play around with it. Let me say... it wasn't easy. I was more rusty then I thought. Luckily I did lots of research on the web. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3545/3762526187_f5afbc5ed1.jpg" alt="" height="nnn" width="600" /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3774487771_770c915798_o.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3774487771_770c915798_o.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2641/3774488513_43f282027d_o.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2641/3774488513_43f282027d_o.png" alt="" border="0" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Well the wedding was last weekend… and I was so freaken nervous. I was putting so much pressure on myself, that I vowed never to accept to be a photographer again. Don’t get me wrong I loved my experience but dang… I don’t need to have the nervous craps. I seriously bow down to all your photographers out there… (I have no clue how you do it! geez)<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2437/3775290796_8777a23c55_o.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2437/3775290796_8777a23c55_o.png" alt="" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3469/3762527669_05894f91c2.jpg" alt="" height="nnn" width="600" /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2460/3774491133_1e7a137aa7_o.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2460/3774491133_1e7a137aa7_o.png" alt="" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">My cousin told me she just wanted say 40 good pics… Phew!

Even if you need to carry a little booklet with notes on what camera settings you used in which lighting... it will defintiely help you out. Oh and take at least 2 pictures per shot. To be sure at least one turns out.<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">TRY TO CONVINCE THEM TO HIRE A PRO</span><br />Explain to the couple that photography is something that takes time to learn and that its not because you have a camera you are automatically a photographer. Tell them that their wedding only happens once in their life (hopefully) and those moments are really really important. So slurging on a photographer is important. If they still ask you to take pictures after that... then go for it.<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">HAVE LOW EXPECTATIONS</span><br />I know this sounds bad... but make sure the person your shooting for knows your not a pro and that it IS huge possible the pictures don't turn out. Plus, if your expectations are low, you won't be disappointed if they are crappy... but on the contracty super excited if you did a good job.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">HAVE FUN WITH IT - and drink a glass of wine of two</span><br />Once the day is finally here... theres not turning back (but you might wish it could; anyways I know I did) Relax, drink a glass of wine or two and simply have fun with it. It will definelty make the whole day so much more pleasant.<br /></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">I’m not a photographer… but I did okay? Anyways I think so. <img src="http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" /><br />Good luck if your shooting a wedding... I wouldn't want to be in those shoes again.

I wanted to rent our honeymoon suite and re-live the magic of our wedding night... and enjoy the time together. Unfortunately, that plan got bumped with Sunday breakfast for fathers day. I should of turned the invitation down, but worried my dad would be disappointed... now its too late. Fathers day was blah and I wish I had gone with my plan.<br /><br />You might find me shallow... but my dads has had a fathers day celebration for the past 34 years and many more will come, but my 1 year anniversary is gone.... and never coming back. I'm seriously bummed and to top things off, I didn't get an anniversary gift. Double Sigh. I didn't need anything big, or over the top... just love, recognition that its an important date. (To me at least) and... a flower wouldn't of hurt, but it wasn't necessary.<br /><br />I haven't given Mr.Flamingo's anniversary present, because it has not yet arrived... but because I told him that, now he wants to make up for the no-gift. Nice try... but its not gonna make up for how I feel at the moment. I want to go back to my anniversary date SO BAD and do it just how I had mapped it out in my head... :(<br /><br />Have you been bummed about something and wish you could turn back time?<br />If so, please share...<br /><br /></div>Kelly | Blushinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07404403783380159875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192224670677395514.post-21794416750119409772009-06-15T16:00:00.002-04:002009-06-15T23:13:11.467-04:00Glamnuptials: Toast time with alot of tears<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">After we finished our first dance and made our way to our seats and heard a little "ching ching."

Oh course the budget depends on a lot of factors. Location, Date, and Amount of Guests but still I wanted to have some sort of idea. Who wouldn't?<br /><br />What was particularly difficult with our situation was the Mr.Flamingo was in school the whole time we were engaged and even after the wedding. So planning a wedding on one salary wasn't the easiest thing to do... but do-able nonetheless. We simply needed to have an extra long engagement in return (2 and a half years) but it was worth it.<br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Here is the breakdown to our glamnuptials:<br /></p><div> </div><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Date:</strong> June 21st 2008<br /><strong>City:</strong> In the Suburbs (approx 30 minutes from Montreal)<br /><strong>Budget:</strong> $22,000<br /><strong># of Guests:</strong> 145<br />(including children, vendors & excluding guests (30-40) who came in the evening )<br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Wedding Day Costs</span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcnJyZfzRl6BMqZ4CCF7S00RSVMOFZnbqIE0jYKPd6w43DVmsAmaVj4gptDGmYDSI9WqUXpP8DKLZyq65QboWJr_sTp8WC2EWYUOgTAw5xhUm8sQFNwgMhmCEdTHhZJoCIvg77BiGt3Gc/s1600-h/Budget_reception.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcnJyZfzRl6BMqZ4CCF7S00RSVMOFZnbqIE0jYKPd6w43DVmsAmaVj4gptDGmYDSI9WqUXpP8DKLZyq65QboWJr_sTp8WC2EWYUOgTAw5xhUm8sQFNwgMhmCEdTHhZJoCIvg77BiGt3Gc/s1600/Budget_reception.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345802403371153586" border="0" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ceremony Site</strong>: <span style="font-weight: bold;">$475<br /></span>This included the officiant and helpers for no extra cost.

I happened to get married on a holiday weekend which now that I look at it, wasn't the best idea ever. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%AAte_nationale_du_Qu%C3%A9bec_%28Saint_Jean_Baptiste_Day%29">Saint-Jean Baptiste</a> weekend (sort of like your Independence day <a href="http://www.fetenationale.qc.ca/">à la Quebecois</a>) is the most celebrated holiday here in Quebec. Filled with local artistes, fireworks and lots and lots of blue and white flags.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />When I called the city to see whether I could take pictures at the Manoir, they told me there was no problem. I asked them again, knowing that it was a holiday and they reassured me. Well, as we arrived, the entranced was blocked and we couldn't get it. Security guards were blocking the road and told us we couldn't go cuz of the National Holiday. Crap Crap Crap!<br /><br />I was furious... you have no idea. I specifically called to make sure there wouldn't be any problems... and then exactly what they said wouldn't happen - did! Luckily one of the organizer saw my worried face, and gave us a green light to snap some pictures fast. Don't you just love people like that... thank you sir!<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNr8JKIqcmld06kE2Q3T_NFeY___9l9ixgwuj9Nl_mUQuNdw0e3qsY4b_n5dbnNychk8aeoiod-fEhUHf2JX7QMt7kH9oyweJSMC9WbJ080U0kdIKDiSo86DgyqFns6lrcNmFmpLOV2x0/s1600-h/IPI_0725_web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNr8JKIqcmld06kE2Q3T_NFeY___9l9ixgwuj9Nl_mUQuNdw0e3qsY4b_n5dbnNychk8aeoiod-fEhUHf2JX7QMt7kH9oyweJSMC9WbJ080U0kdIKDiSo86DgyqFns6lrcNmFmpLOV2x0/s1600/IPI_0725_web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317555476030511730" border="0" /></a>(notice the blue and white flags in the background - hurray for national day ;) )<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Trying not to push our luck too much, we snapped a couple of pictures.

Actually I have to admit I'm a girly girl and love all the chick flicks. Even though I haven't seen <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2009/01/08/bride-wars/">Bride Wars</a> (don't worry its on my to-do list) I can never get enough of wedding movies.... and honestly <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1041829/">The Proposal</a> looks freaken hilarious. (Not to mention I am a fan of Ryan Reynolds - hotness alert)<br /><br /><object height="295" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tZbrwOe_-dY&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tZbrwOe_-dY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="295" width="480"></embed></object><br /><br />I loved 27 dresses and am certain this one will be as good. Your asking yourself whats the connection between the two... one name Anne Fletcher. Shes the director of both movies... so its a hint to the goodness - what do you say?<br /><br />Whats the story about? Canadian immigrant Sandra Bullock is on the verge of getting deported and needs to find a way to keep her job... solution to marry her assistant (Ryan Reynolds)<br /><br />Coming out June 12th of this year... I have a feeling Mr.F and I will celebrate our one year anniversary watching a chick/wedding flick. Now that's how you celebrate ;) lol<br /><br /></div>Kelly | Blushinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07404403783380159875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192224670677395514.post-89137953397779651632008-12-23T09:57:00.004-05:002008-12-23T10:26:15.365-05:00My Real Wedding Inspiration Board<div style="text-align: justify;">When I was planning my own wedding, I loved seeing <a href="http://wiki.weddingbee.com/Inspiration_board">inspiration boards</a>. I couldn't get enough and I was <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/04/14/fun-boards-with-polyvore/">making</a> <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2007/10/29/30s-inspired/">myself</a> some as well. It really gave an overall feel of what type of wedding I was going for, not to mention its a great starting point to any party planning.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Now what I loved even more... is seeing a real wedding inspiration board and compare their original idea and what the wedding actually looked like. Its fun to see if the theme/ideas stayed the same and see if the wedding is better than the inspiration board itself :)<br /><br />I made my own before and after boards.

When I first created my inspiration board, I was going for my pinks, golds, champagne colors and more a vintage modern approach. Then, it shifted to 1940s brown and ivory movie vintage theme. Honestly I really like how my wedding came out, and if I were to do it again... it would be exactly the same, but instead of brown and Ivory, I would go Ivory and Black.<br /><br />I have to confess that I was sort of competing with my own inspiration board. I wanted my wedding to be better than what I had envision. I know... isn't it weird?<br /><br />What do you think, is my real wedding board better than the original? Did you make a real wedding board as well? Would you have changed anything?<br /></div>Kelly | Blushinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07404403783380159875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192224670677395514.post-22805039155853552782008-11-28T10:29:00.004-05:002008-11-28T11:02:39.326-05:00Our Wedding Movie Trailer...<div style="text-align: justify;">Alright I can't wait any longer and must share this with you. I know... I'm not finished doing all my <a href="http://wiki.weddingbee.com/Flamingo#GLAMUPTIALS_-_Wedding_Pro.2FPics">recap posts</a>, but I am way too excited to wait until I am done the recaps. What I loved about our wedding was the <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/06/11/the-search-is-over-2/">videographer</a>. I was so lucky to have Wes Jones of <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/01/02/capturing-the-essence/">Film Jones</a> come to Montreal to film my wedding in 8 mm. Not to mention that he was so great to work with. It truly captured the whole theme of our Vintage Glam wedding and I would hire him all over again in a heart beat.<br /><br />At first Mr.Flamingo didn't want a wedding video because he didn't want to force our friends and family to watch a 1 hour video... and I completely understood what he was saying. I wanted to have a wedding movie-esque trailer, a short film with all the important moments of the wedding... packed with lots of emotion sort of like a movie. So I went ahead and re-editing my wedding footage to have a really short wedding trailer... a total of 9 minutes. Yup thats it!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Our Wedding Trailer.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2342445&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2342445&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br />.<br />Footage taken by Wes Jones of <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/01/02/capturing-the-essence/">Film Jones</a></div><br /><br />I used the Mac program Final Cut Express to do all the editing. Luckily my friend had the program and helped me a whole lot (Thanks Isabel!!!) The program isn't very complicated... and with google you can find many tutorials online. Because I compressed the movie quite alot, the movie lost alot of details and the 8mm effect isn't as great as the original movie. But I think you will get the overall feel.<br /><br />So do you like it? Will you be re-editing you wedding video?<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>Kelly | Blushinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07404403783380159875noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192224670677395514.post-69922351942773088532008-11-20T09:25:00.005-05:002008-11-20T09:56:56.172-05:00To sell or not to sell... that is the question<div style="text-align: justify;">I got <span style="font-weight: bold;">THE</span> call yesterday... my dress is clean and ready to be stored. So it hit me more that I thought it could. I realized that this was it... and that I would most probably never wear my dress again and it really makes me sad. If there is one thing in my whole wedding that I absolutely loved and would do again... my dress would be it. But at the same time whats the point of keeping a gorgeous dress in the closet when someone else can have the joy of wearing this stunning dress. I have had people/readers asking me if I were selling items that I had in my wedding... and honestly I was never able to give a response (sorry about that)<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy3co1u4Kl5wER0kdZ5g5bfyPp9vXJQylkhMIP9wNe0B6ckjKVf1qJruN1RYUEyd8TNhGI9UnqopVOL5vmzxsycUtK5BU5nUY-yXf1PeMIFi-jzueLc0tvcAqqMCbhRWr8UlQZKEY56hM/s1600-h/2604481875_30f2f7893b_b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy3co1u4Kl5wER0kdZ5g5bfyPp9vXJQylkhMIP9wNe0B6ckjKVf1qJruN1RYUEyd8TNhGI9UnqopVOL5vmzxsycUtK5BU5nUY-yXf1PeMIFi-jzueLc0tvcAqqMCbhRWr8UlQZKEY56hM/s400/2604481875_30f2f7893b_b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270752673917624338" border="0" /></a><br />I really don't know if I am ready to let my wedding items go. I don't know if its because I don't want to face the fact that the wedding is over... or that I just want to hold on to the memories as long as I can. I mean what if I sell everything and forget? Ok that not likely to happen... but I think you understand what I am trying to say.<br /><br />I have many wedding items piled up in my office and room and I selling some would be a good way to move on... but I don't know if I can. I mean, I would love to have my future daugther wear my wedding dress. But then I think about it... I never wore my moms dress or veil or anything she had at her wedding, so would my daugther wear mine. Most likely not.<br /><br />I have many items that I can possibly sell (because I would most likely never wear or use them again)<br />You can see pics of majority of the items <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/08/18/glamnuptials-out-details/">here</a><br /><ul><li>My wedding Dress</li><li>My <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/06/06/me-too-i-want-two/">birdcage</a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxSaQYRXq53OehmKg_2lwIzC9u7uoPamgcg7-vEVUgELZU5G8VZbaXiRTAGKG2G8JBNyvpcppLWZtnrx9Im6nBRFkWRAZzH19s6O9ubjFFsgBqRH66bTwHyHKiqItFpfd7zo5xtt-rDPY/s1600-h/IMG_6892_237.jpg">Veil</a></li><li>My necklace set</li><li>My <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/03/28/i-want-a-comb-over-there/">Hair Comb</a></li><li>Some tealight holders</li><li>Brown <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRrVVBLScKppcNG-LnEeaYiUWwnudvS38ynRVzdlqIU9J0fsgy7Tmis17u8oD5m0WyJbXPTO8xn9BxdtewjpOtjIzuOc90Ig2aSH_CzqvCJntZNJ6jfYUgh9HJ8yqvi-7coY0LfJVqFtE/s1600-h/IMG_6918.JPG">Table runners</a></li><li>Brown Ring Pillow</li><li>Handmade Brooche</li><li>Silk <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2007/11/04/i-heart-purses/">Clutch</a><br /></li><li><a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/07/17/glamnuptials-the-guestbook/">Wishing Well</a></li><li>Brown envelopes</li><li>Ivory Envelopes</li><li>Shoe Embellishements<br /></li></ul>Now my question is this : Have you decided to sell your wedding items?

I apologize for not being present this past couple of months. Lets just say that there has been much movement in my life... and because of it I have been way to busy... its crazy. (its positive - don't worry... I got a new Graphic Design job that I love.)<br /><br />I absolutely wanted to take part in this awesome thing going on... called the secret life of bees. I loved reading everyone elses secret and thought it was time to share my own.<br /><p><b>1.</b> I enjoy eating something I call the Microwave Grilled cheese. Pretty self explanatory : 2 slices of white bread with 1 slice of Kraft Cheese, placed carefully in a plate with a paper towel (so that the bread doesn’t become soggy) and put in the microwave until the cheese is melted. I know, doesn’t seem very appetizing, but its something my younger sister and I use to eat coming home from school.</p> <p><b>2.</b> When I was smaller I preferred playing with cars then with Barbie dolls. I loved using the toy car carpet my dad bought me when I was younger. I could play hours with that thing. Even to the point that my dad bought one for my future kids (and I'm not even pregant). Daddy Flamingo is too cute.<br /></p> <p><b>3.</b> I wore my first pair of jeans when I was in 9th grade. Yup you read this right. Before that I was all jogging pants and leotards! How sexy!!!</p> <p><b>4.</b> I don’t know what is my fetish with white sliced bread, but I love to eat all the crust and then take the white part a squish it into a ball of dough. Then I eat it of course. Hey, this list is about my secrets myself… so don’t judge! :) </p> <p><b>5. </b>I have a guilty pleasure. I like the spice girls. I know majoriy of the Spice Girl choreographies. Ya, thats really cheesy but my sister and I would dance in our basement. Come on theres something catchy with their music.... ILL TELL YOU WHAT I WANT... WHAT I REALLY REALLY WANT... lol</p> <p><b>6.</b> I have this weird goal. To have as many business cards as possible. Maybe thats me wanting to be a woman of all trades… but at the moment I have 3. I’m working on getting more!!!</p><span style="font-weight: bold;">7.</span> Like Mrs.Penguin - I have a <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/11/03/secret-life-of-bees-penguin-edition/">tattoo story</a> to share. Before I got my drivers license, I told myself that if I passed the first time around I would reward myself by getting a tatoo. So being the artist that I am decided to draw my own tatoo. It seemed pretty in all... a sort of tribal sun. Until my younger sister pointed it out that it looks like sperm and egg. And now... that what I say it is... haha.. My fertility tattoo. Hope its brings luck in the future... lol Oh my!<br /><br />So there you have it... some stories/secrets about myself. Its actually quite funny. Do you have a secret you want to share? Come on I must not be the only one with some bread fetishes??? :)<br /></div>Kelly | Blushinkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07404403783380159875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192224670677395514.post-75876657810068265522008-09-23T12:00:00.000-04:002008-09-23T12:00:01.831-04:00AWS a.k.a After Wedding Shoot<div style="text-align: justify;">Having the opportunity to do an After Wedding Shoot (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">AWS</span>) is amazing. Now only do you have the chance to get dolled up again, but you can really take the time to pose for pictures when on the wedding day - time isn't your best friend. On our wedding day, we got some great pictures, but not the kind of pictures I was hoping for.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxSaQYRXq53OehmKg_2lwIzC9u7uoPamgcg7-vEVUgELZU5G8VZbaXiRTAGKG2G8JBNyvpcppLWZtnrx9Im6nBRFkWRAZzH19s6O9ubjFFsgBqRH66bTwHyHKiqItFpfd7zo5xtt-rDPY/s1600-h/IMG_6892_237.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-decoration: underline; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxSaQYRXq53OehmKg_2lwIzC9u7uoPamgcg7-vEVUgELZU5G8VZbaXiRTAGKG2G8JBNyvpcppLWZtnrx9Im6nBRFkWRAZzH19s6O9ubjFFsgBqRH66bTwHyHKiqItFpfd7zo5xtt-rDPY/s400/IMG_6892_237.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242259521909433650" border="0" /></a>I wanted something different, unique and luckily my friend knew exactly what I wanted. So in a matter of 1 hour and a half we went from - the gas station, corn field, to railroad track and more. I am really really happy with the outcome of my pictures. (Plus, I got to wear my beautiful <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/06/06/me-too-i-want-two/">Birdcage veil</a> - that I had forgotten at home the day of the wedding)<br /></div><div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The morning of the shoot, I actually went to the hairdresser to get my hair done. Unfortunately I did the after wedding chop, so my hair was much shorter than at the wedding, so I couldn't have the same vintage hairstyle (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">snif</span>! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">snif</span>!) I did my own makeup like it was done on my wedding day. It wasn't very complicated to do - except maybe putting on the fake lashes. ;)<br /><br />First stop - the gas station. Now this wasn't a fake pose, we really needed to put gas in the car otherwise we wouldn't go very far.
