Heather and Alan’s Wedding

Saturday May 23

4pm

Off Hwy 101, Exit Independence Lane, turn right, then left onto Geyserville Road

Stop at the wedding, get out of car, walk the red carpet…kiss, kiss, I do!

Okay, just had to publicly complain – OUCH! I did a dry run for hair and makeup today, complete with lip and brow waxing, and she kept going on my chin, neck..HOLY COW! who knew I was such a hairy goony-goo-hoo?

I don’t think I could be a daily Diva – give me a tattoo any day over waxing!

Seriously…how often do you get to say you LOVE one of your wedding vendors?

Preferred Sonoma Caterers ROCKS! I can’t say enough good about them – they return calls (what a concept for the event industry!), the return emails, they get the menu RIGHT, they include rentals…and…OH My GOD, the food is DELICIOUS!

I don’t care where you are, what you are doing or how much money you want to spend…USE Preferred Sonoma Caterers! Edie has helped us with SO MANY detail changes on time, rentals, menu AND without once telling me I’m a control freak! THANK YOU, EDIE!

Amber Balshaw needs to learn to walk on water, but other than that complaint…She is amazing and just “got” what I talked about for our wedding from day 1! Even the roast pig and our motto of “party first, wedding second”.

YAHOO! Help me here with FIVE thumbs up! Hey, they even have a BLOG!

I love you guys! Big group hug! and i haven’t even started drinking yet…

Here you go, Dad. Now the men can be Queens, too…Oh, wait…I mean, included?

Rose Ribbon boutonnieres

One rose boutonniere for my Papa!

So, I woke up today and my first thought was…OH MY GOD! Our wedding is THIS MONTH! You’d think I eat, breathe and sleep wedding – but it’s not the wedding part that gets me as excited as the “reason for my crazy crafting ideas to have a purpose”. I seriously don’t know what I’m going to do after May 23…I sort of feel sorry for Alan in that he may have to put up with me redecorating the house, yard, dogs, cats…

Anyway – on with the pics…

Here are the placecards/namecards for the wedding and rehearsal dinner and the menu for the wedding. Do you see a theme with all the stuff? you DO?!?? Whoa, then you are more creative than I because it’s an exercise in randomness and trying to pretend I had a central theme…

Oh well…onward…

Our wedding dinner menu sample

The girls place card thingies...

The boy place card thingies...Alan said I could only do a flower if I made it look "guy like"

And the thingie the other thingies hang on...AKA a chip clip?
