Hi, my name is Miss Bloom. I’m a cocktail-taster-a-holic. Yes, I’ve hit the drinks.  I’ve been trying to find a signature drink for our wedding.  It seems to have been a hit at the weddings that I’ve attented.  Not only with the women, but the men have been drinking the concoctions especially if the cocktails [...]

Here are pics of our Bridal Shower Giveaway prototype. The glass is from our collection of glasses and not the IKEA snaps glasses. It’s funny how the grapes and vine etching makes the beaded accent look like a snake! Or perhaps I’ve been reading too much from the Book of Genesis looking for a reading for [...]

From the moment Mr. Bloom said: “Why’s your hair tied up? You look like your brother!” I knew that my hair would have to be kept down for the wedding. I wouldn’t want Mr. Bloom to see me emerge through the church doors and mistake me for my brother! =P Keeping my hair down would [...]

We’ll be having my bridal shower in a week’s time. We’re having the shower and the bachelorette party on the same day. There are so many weddings, bridal showers and baby showers to attend this year that I thought this would be the most practical.  Unfortunately, the only weekend available is the August long weekend [...]

Our photographer for our engagement portraits is Hamid Attie.  He is also our wedding photographer. I have known Hamid for a few years now.  He had shot amazing group portraits of my very close friends, [...]

Today, Mr. Bloom and I went to Moores Clothing for Men on Granville St. between W. Georgia and W. Hastings St.  Their website is here:  http://www.mooresformalwear.com .  It’s walk-in service, no appointment required.  Surprisingly, it was a busy day for them on this very rainy day.  After waiting for about 15 minutes, we were helped [...]

Our wedding celebration will be held at St. Patrick’s Parish in Vancouver. We were lucky enough (lucky for me and my family anyway!) to be granted a full Catholic mass ceremony even though my fiancé is not Catholic nor baptized. He was born during the Communist era in Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic). So yes, it’s [...]
