Mrs. Lobster's Picture
Mrs. Lobster, Brooklyn Age and Occupation: 29, Finance Girl Fiance's Age and Occupation: 33, Finance Boy Engagement Date: July 25, 2009 Wedding Date: August 2010 Venue: Stage 6 Steiner Studios About Me: I'm a New York-born, Virginia-bred girl who's found her way back to the big city. Mr. Lobster and I met in grad school and have been together ever since. I'm clueless about DIY but am an avid online shopper and love all things polka dots, stripes, and ruffles! When I'm not making wedding lists, you can find me looking for snacks, watching Gilmore Girls, or hanging out with Mr. Lobster and our new puppy Buddy! We are planning a fancy-pantsy Brooklyn wedding for a hot New York summer night which is sure to be a misadventure in the making.
About Mrs. Lobster

We interrupt these Lobster recaps for a few photos of the reception to set the mood. Our reception hall during set-up. You can see the tealight candles on the window ledges.

Centerpieces by the amazing Jeannie at Atlas Floral Decorators. We chose a garden arrangement with light colors similar from my bouquet—pinks, purples, blush, with green—in a silver pedestal vase, surrounded by three goblets with floating candles. At the last minute, we added amber uplighting which you can sort of see on the far columns. This really made the room feel romantical and warm. ;)

Ah, yes, return of the paper products - table numbers, place cards, and menus all in their rightful places.

At the last minute, we added an “I Spy” game with disposable cameras for the kids.

Our venue caterer Abigail Kirsch provided the cake. This was the “shimmering quilt” design. In retrospect, I wish I had provided them with the cute birds my sister made for my bridal shower as a cake topper!
