Wedding Photography - Our First Dance

Sun, 11 Jul 2010 11:29:00 PST

Originally we were going with Guardian Angel by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus for our first dance but decided it was a bit fast for a slow dance so we chose "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain it was perfect!!

My Ring Bearer - Pugsley Shigurezuki Smith

Sun, 20 Jun 2010 11:39:00 PST

My baby boy was our ring bearer. He got a little nervous and had to be carried bu he did a great job and everyone loved him. Anyone thinking of using your four legged children in your wedding? I have no regrets about it and it was wonderful letting him share in our special day.

Wedding Flowers - Vendor Review Clear Lake Flowers & Gifts

Sun, 20 Jun 2010 08:39:00 PST

The Florist we decided to go with was Clear Lake Flowers and Gifts. They were referred to us by our venue, Butler's Courtyard. I'm so happy we went with them. Michelle was our consultant and we worked together months before the wedding. She was always willing to work around my work schedule which was a plus. I had a vision of exactly what I wanted, PINK, french, Marie Antoinette with shades of light blue. Michelle was able to envision my dream, seemed quite excited about it, and made it all come true! Check out my bouquet with the tassel! I showed Michelle a photo in a magazine and she was able to recreate it!! I loved it! There was a small hickup with the vases we originally ordered but Michelle came through for us and I was quite happy with the results. Clear Lake Flowers & Gifts did the Gazebo decor, bridge, boutonnieres, mine and my bridesmaids flowers, sisters and mothers, the table vases, candelabras and the cake flowers. The flowers were gorgeous, fresh and smelled wonderful! If you are in the Houston, Galveston, Clear Lake area I highly recommend Clear Lake Flowers and Gifts they receive an A+ from me! http://www.clearlakeflowers.com/feature.asp

Wedding Cake - Vendor Review Cakes by Jula

Sat, 19 Jun 2010 20:08:00 PST

Showing some blog love to my vendors... Cakes by Jula Our cake was part of the wedding package at Butlers Courtyard. A couple of months ago we met with Jula. I already had in my mind what I wanted. The beautiful crown topper had already been purchased. Jula had a few wedding cake examples in her shop one of which i borrowed from (he bottom tier) for our cake. The shop offers many flavors and fillings. For ours we chose Pink Champagne with cream cheese filling and butter cream icing. Let me tell you this cake was to die for!! We had many compliments on the design and the taste of the cake. Just like they advertise "They taste as good as they look." and they do! I kid you not i ate nothing but wedding cake for days..lol When they brought me out to look at the cake I nearly cried! It was perfect! Just what I envisioned. I think Marie Antoinette would have loved it! Cakes by Jula also did Roy's grooms cake. It was red velvet with a cream cheese filling and the design was an I-Phone. They did a great job with all those apps! I give Cakes by Jula an A+ I will definitely be a returning customer! If you are in the Houston/Clear Lake/Galveston area I highly recommend them. Their website is.. http://www.cakesbyjula.com/ ps the flowers on the cake (yes their real!) are by Clear Lake Flowers

Wedding Day Miracle - no rain!!

Sat, 29 May 2010 18:09:00 PST

I thought i would post this before i forgot. One week before the wedding we were intensely watching the weather forecast on our I-Phones for our wedding day. The week forecast ran... monday sunny tuesday sunny wednesday sunny thursday partly sunny friday rain/thunderstorms saturday rain/thunderstorms sunday rain/thunderstorms (our wedding day) monday rain/thunderstorms throughout the week it ran anywhere from 40%-70% chance of thunderstorms and rain.. I prayed.. and not just for me but for the two other brides getting married at Butlers that weekend. The rehearsal was on saturday,, We had to rehearse inside (in was raining). The coordinator advised us the wedding the night before went off fine. The rains held back until just after the ceremony, once the bride entered the door to the reception area,it poured down. The same thing happened with the bride on Saturday. No change in the forecast. The night before out wedding Roy and I prayed around midnight for God to please give us a rain free day on our wedding. The carriage driver had said if it was raining that morning he would not load up the carriage and would give us out money back. How would we leave our wedding?? nothing else went with the theme! The next morning came and there was not a cloud in the sky , forecast had changed from 60% to 20% over night Praise God!! All thanks and glory to my father in heaven for giving us a rain free day.

The toast - Segura Viudas Reserva Heredad

Thu, 13 May 2010 08:58:00 PST

I love the bottle! We chose this spanish wine (a nod to my spanish heritage) for our toasting wine. I think the bottle will make a lovely keepsake hehehe Segura Viudas Reserva Heredad (Estate) Segura Viudas Reserva Heredad is a limited production méthode champenoise wine originally reserved for members of the Segura family and their friends. Reserva Heredad is made exclusively from grapes grown in the estates vineyards at Torrelavit in the Alt Penedès region of Spain. Only the first pressing of the Macabeo and Parellada grapes goes into the making of the cuvée. The yeast is added and the wine is allowed to develop in the bottle for up to four years. Segura Viudas winery in Penedes, SpainMedium bodied and mellow with a perfumed bouquet, character and depth. A good fruit intensity on the palate and a long and slightly yeasty finish. Reserva Heredad comes in an exquisite hand-blown bottle with a slender, tapered neck. The bottle is emblazoned with the pewter crest of Segura Viudas and rests on a pewter base inscribed with grapes.

Wedding Flowers - Spoke with florist again

Thu, 13 May 2010 06:39:00 PST

Yesterday she was suppose to call me back on if she happen to find the vases i originally was suppose to have that she was now offering a lesser quality vase. She hadn't called by 5 so i called her. She advised me she didn't have the vases (apparently sold them at Mothers Day) I got upset and told her frankly how i didn't like the alternative and how I honestly found it to be cheap looking. Silence fell.. I told her i wanted what i paid for and if i had to get out and find them myself i would. She told me no that was her job (yeah i know that!) so she is suppose to scout around and find some or something comparable not some cheap looking clear vase with colored plastic or colored water in it. We'll see...

OOT bags - check!

Wed, 12 May 2010 21:50:00 PST

Started putting these together tonight. Each bag contains Pink hot chocolate mix Sofia mini's (sparkling wine) hand sanitizer, monogrammed tissues, assorted cheese and cracker snacks Goldfish (crackers) Suncreen postcards peanuts and do not disturb door hanger Along with a note welcoming them

So Angry!! - Met with florist tonight

Tue, 11 May 2010 19:47:00 PST

I was so mad it took FH hours to calm me down. First off this florist was not cheap. She seemed to understand exactly what I wanted. Well when she brought in a few of the flowers ordered for my wedding she also brought in a small vase to be used for the low centerpieces. This was NOT the vase I ordered !!! it was a small (about half the size) CLEAR glass vase with plastic insert to give it color. The vases I chose were aqua and went perfect with my overlays. She said after Mothers DAy she wasn't sure she had any or enough of the ones i wanted. WTF!!! I was paid in full and those vases should have been set aside for me!! I loved those vases and I didn't expect something like this to happen. She said she will look for the vases more tomorrow. She even suggested colored water!. I can't believe this is happening so close to the wedding. Now I'm afraid there will be more surprises from this florist! Hope I can sleep tonight!! GRRRRRRR
