We are having a VERY CASUAL beach wedding. I know he is definitely going to wear flip flops. I am now trying to figure out what my groom should wear…what do you think? Choice 1- White short sleeved button downs with khakis
At the local Wedding Show we found our wedding baker and cake decorator, Robbi Broussard from Creative Cake Designs. As always she was serving the most delicious and delightful cake samples to the crowd. I’ve written about our talented baker on a previous post. In my last post, I wasn’t able to show samples of her work. Take a look at the following images that show many of her works of art.  Creative Cake Designs cake samples
The recaps continue… I miss my wedding?! That sounds lame I know, but I really do miss the day, the preparation, the people, the laughter, the anticipation, the stress (I know… weird!), and most of all, I miss the images. Fernie was such a spectacular location for our wedding, and thankfully I have the pictures to look back on, but I really do miss being out on our wedding weekend soaking in the beautiful views of the peaks and valleys. Can you tell I haven’t been out skiing yet this winter?!?! The house buying and long distance relationship have proved to put a damper on our extra curricular… i.e. getting out the mountains where we said our “I do”s.
So yes, this post has perfect timing, because it is a treat for me to share with you some of the most amazing pictures that Kev and Duane of [6:8] Photography shot for us… and the emotion of this moment really was blessed. We were so lucky that the weather cooperated with us, and that we were in one of the most beautiful spots in the world to spend time together on our wedding day. We were so blessed to be in Fernie!! Caution… picture-heavy post!! Proceed at your own pace I just love the color of the cliff face on this one… red dirt!!
We have a team of two videographers! Towie Bear and I had the pleasure of meeting James and Jean Milligan from Millstream Video Productions. This married couple has over 18 years of experience filming weddings in WA State. I like this couple because they are passionate about the work they do. In their website and at our meetings, they present their work as “preserving precious memories” and that is definitely what they do. The moment I sat down and watched a sample of their work, I just started crying of happiness and excitement. James and Jean have the ability to capture the essence of the moment. As I watched the DVD, I could feel what the couple was experiencing when they were exchanging their vows. Amazing!
One weekend this past fall we took a day trip down through rural Pennsylvania, part of our jaunt was to visit Carousel Farm Lavender to tour the farm. While there we got to see magnificent rows of lavender growing in the fields. All the buildings are built with rustic stone; I imagined we were transported to the french countryside. During our visit we met with one of the owners and he was proudly telling us about how his farm was featured in Martha Stewart Living and Country Living magazines. They had the magazine’s out for display, and they were full of beautiful images of lavender decorations and table settings. They even have weddings at the farm, talk about a beautiful venue! If your looking for a wedding venue in eastern Pennsylvania, you have to take a look at this place. However, researching wedding venues wasn’t why we were there.
I spend most evenings scouring the Internet looking at this site, bridal blogs, wedding websites, etc… and tonight I came across someone who said this… The only things that should last forever is your marriage and your photography – everything else is just details. I think I agree. I am going to try to keep this in mind when I am stressing over flowers and invitations and favors. I knew from the get go that the wedding photography was important to me. It is one of the first things I booked. I love our photographer and her work. From the moment I stepped foot into her home for our first meeting…I knew I was going to hire her. I know that the photos she takes of us we will have forever and they will be passed down to our children…so I had no qualms when it came to the cost of the wedding photography. Seeing our wedding photos is one of the things I look forward to the most about our wedding. Here are a few of my favorites from our photographer to be, Amy Sandoval.  http://www.amysandovalphotography.com/
A good friend of mine, Ruth, is getting married in October. She has asked me to be one of four bridesmaids. She’s decided not to have a maid of honor since we are all equally important to her. However, since the other three girls live farther away (and have more pressing obligations like medical residency and kids), I’ve become her de facto MOH/planning buddy. We recently went on the hunt for bridesmaids dresses.
As I mentioned last week, I have decided to do a series on centerpieces that are far from ordinary. Next up… candles! They add a beautiful glow to your reception and can set a great mood well through the night. They also make for fairly easy DIY options, and not to mention a big budget saver. You can float them, wrap them or stand them alone. They come in a vast array of colors, sizes and even smells. What’s not to like?  From 100 Candles So, now let’s turn this candle into a fantastic centerpiece!
Today makes the 8-month mark for our wedding! It’s a bit disheartening because most of my friends aren’t even engaged for 8 months, but still it’s exciting for me.
Towie Bear and I are proud to introduce Ed Griffin, president of The Wedding DJ’s, as our Master of Ceremonies and Disc Jokey for our summer 2010 wedding. We were very impressed with his demeanor and professionalism at the interview.
 Towie Bear, Maga Bud and Ed Griffin Making “wedding dreams a reality” is how The Wedding DJ’s described in their website the experience that they provide to brides and grooms on their wedding day. Ed has over 19 years of experience in the entertainment business. He is a member of the The Puget Sound Chapter of The American Disc Jockey Association (PSADJA). In addition, he is a member of the Washington Association of Bridal Consultants.

I feel like I’m mostly ahead of the ball for most people 8 months out from their wedding date. We have the venue, we have the caterer, and we have the church. We are working on our save the dates. Though, when I look at my Weddingwire checklist, it seems like I still have soooo much more to do! Thing is, most these things have to wait for a later date I feel.
