Mr. Sunflower and I have officially taken care of our three major vendors. The reception site, the photographer, and on the 11th, we booked Body Rock to provide the entertainment for our reception. Our package includes: mini intelligent lighting, a fog machine (which they throw in to every package but will not be on during our reception), a DJ and MC, plus a live percussionist.

I’ve been doing research on gifts for the girls when the time rolls around, and I’ve come up with a few ideas. Vera Bradley has some very pretty things to offer. While I wouldn’t go so far as to buy each girl their own full-size tote (they can be pricey), I would however, definitely consider make up cases, check book covers, and such. They have…

Yesterday morning, Mr. Sunflower and I met with one of the owners of Sherwood-Triart Photography in Woodbury, Long Island. We knew before we even stepped foot into the studio, that we wanted them on board for our special day.
Francesca the Wedding Consultant had already shown us two of their albums and the owner Earl showed us another 6 at the meeting. We watched a montage…

I ordered my bridal shoes a few days ago and they arrived last night. Yes I know I may sound crazy, but I want to make sure I have shoes with me when I go to try on wedding dresses. Plus, I couldn’t pass up on the deal. They’re simple Coloriffics with a 1″ inch heel, for $46, when everywhere else I looked was selling…

I received an email from my wedding planner Francesca. She set up appointments for us with the DJ and photographer that we want. The other three vendors we were considering don’t offer appointments when Mr. Sunflower is off from work, and I won’t go to this type of meeting without him. He trusts me completely, but this is a HUGE investment and I want him…

I’m still on the look-out for centerpiece ideas. I did find these the other day:
I LOVE the tall candle holder. If I could find a place that sells them or a way to make them, I’d be all over that in a heartbeat. I think this calls for more web hunting!

I decided this past Sunday was my own personal Fat Sunday, where I was going to indulge in whatever sweets and food I desired because Monday would be the commencement of my new fitness regime. I’m taking baby steps. Usually I jump headlong into these things and become obsessed right away, but I think for this engagement party/wedding I’m going to take it a little…

Since Friday, I have received…let me count…11 postcards from a variety of djs, florists, limo services, and photographers. This is not including the 4 sets of duplicates I’ve received or the 2 phone calls from a band. Is this normal? WOW.

About a week ago, I requested 3 free sample invitations from Exclusively Weddings. They arrived a couple of days ago. I’ve decided that I need an invitation with, at least, a little bit of color, even if that color is only cream. This is what they sent me:
This one was really tiny and very…plain and white.

The little one is my godson and he is the funniest little man I’ve ever seen. The big boy is his brother, and everytime I look at him I can’t believe how much he’s grown. They’re my cousin’s (also my Matron of Honor) sons and she actually has number 3 on the way. I’m not sure how we’re going to get…

My next task is to figure out what kind of favor to give out at our engagement party. I don’t think I want to go too overboard, since it’s a small affair. Right now my Mom and are I leaning towards this:
$3.15/set at Exclusively Weddings. I’m ordering 30 which comes out to $94.50.
I was also thinking I could go with Custom Printed M&Ms in my…

I’m totally in love with this particular bridal bouquet.
I think the gown that I might be going with - if it doesn’t make me look like a heifer - is ivory, and the colors of these flowers will be magnificent.
Something a little similar, but smaller it seems.
I absolutely love peonies, but my venue wedding planner Francesca made it sound like they might be more expensive…
