Wedding Blog

When I first got engaged, I swept up any and all books with the words “marriage”, “bride” and “wedding” in the title. Now, almost a year later, I finally finished one of them.

The book is “Bride in Overdrive” by Jorie Green Mark - it’s a non-fiction book about her descent into wedding insanity, and how she came out of it unscathed. This book is hilarious!

One of the major highlights of our wedding was the food. Not that I had too much of it, but people were raving all night long about the utter delicious-ness of absolutely everything. We used a caterer from LA called Savore. They were unbelievable to work with, full of amazing ideas and, the food was really over the top spectacular.

We came…we saw…we “I do’d.”

October 21 was a pretty magical day from start to finish (despite some major snafus). Yep…it went by in a flash. Yep…many things went wrong, but our wedding day was still more dreamy/fantastic/over the top/delicious/fun than I could have ever imagined. Here are the deets:

I was thinking about my wedding the other day….who am I kidding. I think about my wedding every day. Why? Because I can’t wait to get my pictures, and when I start thinking about all the beautiful shots, I start playing the wedding over and over in my mind. Also I went to Mrs. Snail’s wedding this past Sunday, so I’ve been surrounded by weddings.

Anyway,…

Ah!! How could I forget about my paper and invitations vendor?

Invitations and Other Paper Items - Custom-Programs
Oh, how I loved my invitations. Unfortunately, due to a small mistake, I will have no professional pictures of them. Boooooohoooooo! I will, however, have pictures of my escort cards, menus, table cards, and programs.

Here are the rest of the reviews!

Wedding Dress - Casablanca (MyrJan Bridal)
I absolutely loved my wedding dress. The alterations were done by Fancy Cleaners (check the Tuesdays “Sales” blogs for a discount!). Everything about the dress was perfect! The veil was from MyrJan and the tailor altered it because I didn’t like the original length too much. MyrJan Bridal was good to deal with as a…

Ok - I finally have some down time now. Exams are over, my official honeymoon is almost over, and everything goes back to normal on Monday. Between now and Monday, I thought I would write some more about my wedding. So let’s talk vendors.

Overall, I was realllllly happy with all my vendors. But here are the details anyway.
