Save the Date!

When it comes to the "Save the Dates", I have to give props to Joe again!  His artistic visions/abilities are amazing and supersede anything I could design, so I'm relieved he took the lead on this one!  Thanks Joe!

Joe designed about 8 real contenders and after weighing in some opinions, we decided on the one below...

We ordered the magnets through a company called MagnetStreet.  I don't think we will use this company for invitations, but this was very user friendly for those that are interested!

Engagement Photos

Our friend Victor did an amazing job with the engagement photos!  The photos were taken at Sands Point Preserve in Port Washington.  It happen to be a lovely day, not too cold, not too windy! Joe and I had a hard time being serious, so thanks Victor for dealing with our laughter and having to take tons of photos over and over!  Below are a few favorites.  I will post an album once I figure it out :)

Florist Booked!

We decided to work with the in house florist for Fox Hollow (PWP).  PWP is an event planning company that has a floral division.  Joe was a big help in this decision and had a great vision for a centerpiece idea.  We are planning to go with 3 different height cylindrical vases that will hold components of our overall flower theme.

To give you an idea, the picture below is what my bouquet will look like.  The bridesmaids will have a similar look; however, with a bit more pop of color!

Bridesmaid Dresses Selected and Ordered!

I took a trip down to Virginia a few weekends ago and my sister, Colleen, Lauren and I went dress shopping!  I had a color in mind but I was open to dress options.  After the ladies tried on tons of dresses, we came up with a winner!  The dresses are going to be eggplant in color.  The designer and material are the same as my wedding dress, so I feel the look compliments my dress perfectly!

Thanks ladies for all your help and making the day easy!!  Also, thanks to all the ladies getting measured so quickly!  I can't wait for the dresses to come in, so that I can send them your way!  

I'm not going to post a picture of this dress either... some things are better left as a surprise!  

Wedding Party!

Joe and I are so excited for our close friends/family to be a part of our special day.  The bridesmaids and groomsmen are coming from all over the country to be with us!  We are so grateful for them and are honored that they will be a part of our special day!

Our flower girl will be my youngest cousin Sophia and our ring bearers will be our nephews, Brennan and Tyler.  Brennan and Tyler were such a big part of the engagement and we wanted them both to walk down the aisle!  Hopefully little Tyler will be steady on his feet by then!  If not, we are going to make a wagon that Brennan can pull!  

Wedding Dress Success!

While I cannot post specific information about the dress, I found my dress and it was a very quick and easy process!  My mom and I went shopping together and had a great time.  We visited 2 stores - Bridal Suite of Centereach and Macy's Bridal.  The dress I found was at Bridal Suite of Centereach and I could not be happier!  I ultimately went back to the second dress I tried on!  I was surprised at how quickly I found something!  It will take about 5 more months to come in... I can't wait!

I could not have done this without Mom!  Thanks for your help Mom, I love you!

DJ and Photography/Videography

Check and check!  Welcome Tommy Tunes and Duet Photography! 

Tommy Tunes has been great to work with thus far and we are excited to pump up the music and get the dance floor going!  

Duet was recommended by a few co-workers and we ultimately loved their style and day of wedding plan.  We are so excited for them to capture all the special moments and help create long lasting memories!  These are some Fox Hollow pictures listed on their website:  http://www.duetwedding.com/gallery/wedding/806
