Wedding Blog

Party time!!! So, now that B and Beau are hitched - hereafter known as B&B - it’s time to drink, dance, and model! Yes, that’s right, I said model. Although photobooths have caught on like wildfire, B booked one way back at the beginning of the trend, and I had never seen one at a wedding before. Best. Idea. Ever. I am a total photobooth ’ho (that’s right, I said it!). If there is a photobooth within five miles of myself, you best believe I will force all my friends into said booth for a ridiculous photo session.

I gave B a hug following her ceremony for two reasons: 1) I wanted to congratulate the new married lady 2) I was in tears from sheer happiness at the prospect of unlimited photobooth happiness alllll night. (sigh) It was a special moment.

B&B’s entire wedding took place at the same hotel, which is actually a retreat of sorts, hence the mass numbers of trees, grass, and flowers. We loved that after the ceremony, we only had to walk about 20 steps to pick up a flute of champagne… Their reception included a cocktail hour and then dinner and dancing in the hotel’s grand ballroom. Very special phrase: Floor-to-ceiling windows. Really gorgeous. There was so much natural light, that you didn’t need the electrics ’til after sundown.

As we Bees love the details - here’s a taste…

Flowers, flowers everywhere…

B&B’s escort cards were so cute. The bride halved wine corks and then used each half to hold up the individual cards. Simple, easy, and elegant.

Ummmm, lots of dancing, hence the bare feet you see below. There *might* have been mass Soulja Boy reenactments. They also had a custom gobo made, which was really beautiful, especially once the light started to dim.

B made table numbers by taking a B&W photo of her dog Comet holding a blank sign. She then Photoshopped in the different table numbers and set them up on easels for each table. It was really fun and personal, especially since Comet couldn’t come to the wedding (he’s sprightly!). The signs were narrow and tall and matted. Highly recommended.

There were few things for which I do not have photos… (Bad Bee!) B also put together a yummo candy bar. This was back before candy bars caught on - B is a trendsetter! I had never heard of such a thing, and as you might imagine, I was over-the-moon delighted. I pretty much made myself sick off of Sourpatch Kids - Success!

Completely exhausted and partied out, Mr. Snapdragon and I dragged ourselves back into the city. About a month later, this wedding ’specially came back into play…

Yes, I am sure you can guess where this set of blogs is leading…. bear with Old Snaps.
