Trash the Dress?

So while watching one of my very classy shows - Jerseylicious - there was an episode where they do a "Trash the dress" photo shoot for a bride.

"Trash the dress" is a service that The Glam Fairy and her crew provide where they glam up a new bride and help destroy her wedding dress while capturing it in artistic images. They say that since brides only get to wear their dress once, it gives them the opportunity to wear it again! In the episode I watched they 'spill' fondue chocolate all over it with the help of little kids, but they also do things such as set it on fire, swim in the ocean, etc.

Even though the images were actually beautiful...I don't know if I could ever bring myself to destroy my wedding dress...it is way to beautiful and sentimental...I don't mind it sitting in the back of my closet for the rest of my life! lol. Speaking of- I should probably get it preserved next time I'm in Boston!

Post Wedding Depression?

Hm. I guess I have a little bit of post-wedding depression, only because I really miss spending so much time with all my family and friends. I also do miss working with Carrie, Calais from SML, and all my other amazing vendors. And for some reason I still find myself looking at wedding websites, reading Priscilla of Boston emails, and my ears still perk up when I hear of wedding expos in the area! I guess I just fell in love with everything that has to do with weddings!

But, its all good...because I am married to the most amazing man! Life couldn't be any better right now!

Big & Little Brides

As many of you know, my sorority big sister, Robyn, and my weddings were a week apart! Her's was Memorial Day weekend and mine was the following weekend. What made it even more special was we were a part of each others weddings as bridesmaids!

Back in November, Katelyn sent both of us a blog post from "Wedding Bee" called Dual Roles . Rereading this post made me think back on the past year and all that we went through. I was so lucky to have her through it all, it was so much fun to talk about each others weddings practically every day! We understood what each other was going through and we could talk to each without judgment or having to explain every single detail.

I couldn't imagine anyone else better to go through the whole wedding planning process with then Robyn. We shared in each other's joy, celebrations, and even frustrations. It was such a special time and I am so glad I was part of hers, and I am so glad she was part of mine.

Love you Robyn! I can not believe we are both wives now! Cheers to us!

Old, New, Borrowed, Blue...

My 'Something Old' was my Great Grandmother's rosary beads that were intertwined in my bouquet.

My 'Something New' was my gorgeous Mikimoto diamond and pearl earrings from my hubby!

My 'Something Borrowed' I actually had 2 things! I had my Debby's stunning, antique, white-beaded clutch, and also I had Mary-Jeanne's beautiful pearl-bracelet.

My 'Something Blue' was my garter.

Storied Events

Without Carrie from Storied Events, I honestly have no idea what we would've done. In a few words...she.was.amazing.

She saved us in so many aspects. She saved us from pulling out our hair from frustration and stress of dealing with every tiny detail of the planning process. Saved us hours of researching who to use for vendors and avoiding the dreaded mistake of hiring someone that is completely awful. She made the planning process fun. I can honestly say I enjoyed it without any stress!

Always calm and collected, so made sure our rehearsal, welcome dinner, getting ready, ceremony, and reception went off without a hitch. I'm sure things went wrong, but she handled absolutely everything to make sure not a thing tainted Jeff, my family, my guests, and my day.

Thank you so much Carrie for all that you did. Thank you for putting up with my nit-picky questions, my millions of emails, my indecisive moments, etc, etc, etc. It takes a person with real patience to do what you do, and I have the highest respect for you. Thank you for helping put together the most gorgeous wedding I have ever been to (obviously I'm biased!). Every aspect was perfect, and we have you to thank. <3

For all your future VT/NH brides...I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Carrie. It is the best decision you will make in regards to planning your wedding!

Summer Sweet Floral

Words can not describe how incredible our wedding flowers were. Kep and his team at Summer Sweet Floral did an amazing job, and completely captured my floral vision. Kep has always done extraordinary work, however this really blew me away. I told him I wasn't picky about the 'types' of flowers and I basically told him to 'just do his thing' and he definitely did!

Thank you so much Kep!
