About Mrs. Firefly

Showtime!

August 14th, 2006 @ 10:39 am by Mrs. Firefly

The invite was for 5:30; ceremony to start shortly before 6:00. Now or never …

My florist, Angie from Antheia Floral Design in Jersey City worked for hours setting up the huppa (I guess it was more like an arch). It looked like it was growing from the ground. A

In a Jewish wedding, the groom is traditionally walked down the aisle by his parents. Mr. Firefly’s father died over a decade ago and his mother died shortly before we got engaged, so his sister did the honor.

The boys took a wrong turn on their way down the aisle. The flower girl needed the help of her other aunt and chose to carry ring pillow rather than her floral pomandor (points for me to thinking ahead and ordering a third pillow!).

Hi ladies,

I wanted to leave a quick note on the B&W photos. The digital images of the film B&W photos (e.g. photos of people walking down the aisle) look very light/washed out. The real pictures are much darker; I guess the negatives didn’t scan well (or whatever they do to negatives to get them onto a CD). The “brighter” B&W photos (e.g. my mom an I watching on) were taken by Leah’s assistant using a digital camera and look the same on paper as they do online.

Laurie — I just looked at your knot page — wow! everything at your wedding will be stunning! (and its REALLY soon). I also looked at Angelica Glass’ site — double wow! — I’ve really started to like vivid color over b&w photographery. I wish I incorporated more color into my wedding…

good luck with everything!

Thank you!

I love Angelica’s photos, we are so happy she is going to shoot our wedding.

Although, I think your photos are beautiful the way they are… you can always have your photos re-touched! Add in some color and then you can have it both ways.
