So I put one together and decided to email it to her and to www.weddingbee.com (which I tear through every day). Why not? And to my surprise they both liked it so much it was posted on both blogs! Here it is on "Style Me Pretty" (click HERE) and here it is on weddingbee.com (click HERE).
So I figured if it was good enough for "real" [aka: well read/followed blogs] then it was good enough for me!
Here it is:
My fiance and I met when we were 5 and 6 years old. He was a cub scout and childhood friend of my brother's. Fast forward to my last year in college. He developed a crush on me -- I wasn't interested. Three years later, after a long friendship and friends who really wanted to see us get together -- it just clicked.
We live in New York City but have decided to invite 60 of our closest friends and family to Burlington, VT for a great weekend! I can't wait for September 8th.
Top left: Lovely brown brocade pattern that appears through out our stationery.
Top center: Cynthia Rowley shoes that tie in with my short Romona Keveza Legends gown
Top right: Aquamarine and diamond earrings which were a college graduation gift from my grandmother who passed away a week before my graduation. We were VERY close. This is my way to have her with me, my something old and my something blue.
Center left: A lavender bundle which inspired our place cards. We will have "mini moo" cards attached with our engagement photo on one side and the name of the guest calligraphed on the back. (see them HERE).
Middle: Inspiration for my custom wedding ring to fit perfectly with my engagement which was my mother's.
Center right: Inspiration for my marzipan pear wedding cake (see Marzipan Pear post)! So excited. This also inspired vases filled with pears at the center of each of our 3 long tables at our restaurant reception.
Bottom left: The Church Street Market place in downtown Burlington, Vermont where we're hosting our "destination" wedding (from CT/NYC). We will walk with our guests from the church around the corner to the restaurant for cocktails on the marketplace and then head upstairs for dinner.
Bottom center: The stunning Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face. The inspiration for my short Romona Keveza Legends gown.
Bottom right: Inspiration for my brown and almond Ann Taylor bridesmaids dresses. This was the first color inspiration for the whole day.
