Light Show Dilemma - To Have Or Not To Have?

November 30th, 2006 @ 7:03 pm by Mrs. Peach

Alrighty folks… I need your opinions!

The DJ I’m considering offers a motorized light show for an additional $75 with his services. Have any of you been to a wedding where they had a lightshow along with the music? What did you think?

My initial thoughts: could look cool, maybe it will really liven up the dance floor? But on the other hand it could look tacky - maybe a little too prom-y or club-ish??

What do you think about having a light show?

Mrs. Daisy, New York Age and Occupation: 32, Attorney Fiance's Age and Occupation: 32, Finance Engagement Date: December 10, 2005 Wedding Date: November 11, 2006 Blogging Since: June 7, 2006 Venue: Metropolitan Club About Me: My favorite activities used to include knitting, cooking, doing the crossword puzzle and about a million other relaxing pursuits. Since my engagement, well, not so much. Wedding planning has become my primary hobby. So much so that I am downgrading my work schedule to part-time in order to more fully dedicate myself to my wedding (and reality tv, as well, if I'm being honest).

Practice Makes Perfect

November 30th, 2006 @ 6:27 pm by Mrs. Daisy

In theory, anyway. That’s why we decided to do a proper rehearsal at the Met Club the night before the wedding. Make our wedding party earn their dinners and all that.

My wedding planners (Jennifer and Shira of the Wedding Library) were at the rehearsal to make sure everything went off without a hitch. As it turns out, the rehearsal was a *great* idea, because we realized that the way we had planned the processional kind of fucked up was less than ideal.

The dilemma was, our current setup put my brother (a groomsman) standing furthest on the outside of the bridal party. My sister and Mr. Daisy’s brother were already cool on the inside–since Mr. Daisy’s bro was best man and my sister was one of my maids of honor–but we wanted my brother with the rest of the family.

We have a jumbo mini-dachshund (seriously, he's huuuuge), and we're planning an autumn themed wedding on a shoestring, paid for by ourselves. The wedding date is my late grandma's birthday, I needed her there somehow, and that seemed like the best way for us. I can't believe I'm a Bee! I couldn't be more proud!

Now We’re Really Getting Married

November 30th, 2006 @ 5:48 pm by Mrs. Kiwi

Mr. Kiwi has two wedding related jobs: deciding where we’re having the ceremony (because he’s Catholic and I’m not religious), and finding the music. Since Mr. Kiwi works at a Catholic school, we had two places to consider - either his school’s church or the large white tent in the back of our reception venue. As of two days ago, he decided to forgo the church wedding and just get married in the reception venue’s tent. It’s only $650.00 dollars to have it for the hour, and now we just need an officiant to make our ceremony plans complete.

Now, while the word “tent” usually doesn’t usually give you warm fuzzies, this one is cute. It has windows on the side as seen here:

Personalized Stationery

November 30th, 2006 @ 4:54 pm by Mrs. Pearl

As a tip, there’s a fabulous store Iomoi that sells personalized stationery items. Mr. Pearl and I got our thank you cards from there at an amazing discount (they were half priced when we bought them) and in our wedding colors!

This is an example of their fun, fresh designs:

They’ve moved more into personalized announcements, notecards, invitations, etc., but a lot of their pre-printed cards (like the ones above) are at a deep discount under “Tag Sale”.

Boutonniere Ideas

November 30th, 2006 @ 3:56 pm by Mrs. Raspberry

We started to think about the flowers for the wedding. My sister has worked at a nursery for several summers now and does beautiful work, so she will be doing the bouquets and boutonnieres while the arrangements for the reception etc. will be done by a florist (TBD).

I thought the boutonnieres would be an easy place to start the flower search. Flowers that I like for the girls so far are: white peonies, lily of the valley, and calla lilies.

So here are some beautiful ideas for inspiration I found for the guys…
