This May be Them!

Groomzilla finally ended up making it out to see the band last weekend that we kept trying to go see play but every time we did something would come up. I of course was at the bachelorette party (not mine, for another bride friend of mine) and had planned on coming home on Saturday night so that Groomzilla and I could go see the band together..WELLLLL one margarita on the beach turned to two and two turned to well you get the point and there was no way I was going to make it home for the night. I notified Groomzilla and as wonderful as he is was able to wrangle up one of his friends to accompany him to go see the band play.

As luck would have it, the beach bar were I was hanging out/dancing all day/night also had a band playing with get this; a FEMALE vocalist! Which I have been looking for all along. This band was HOT! Her voice was amazing and I couldn’t stop dancing. I asked her if they played weddings and she said of course! They are within our budget and they have already tentatively held our date for us. Groomzilla wants to go and see them play before we make our final decision but I think this may be them!!!!! This calls for a WHOP WHOP X 100,000,000!

You can hear their audio clips on their website.

Non-Wedding Wednesday

Crazy day in Orlando today dodging tornados and power outages at work, if only I had my ruby red slippers to take me to the land of Oz.

Here is a really cute blog of a friend of my good friend J. Anna over at Anything Goes at Anything Sews is super creative and witty to boot!

Check out how she took this simple ordinary shirt, one of which we all have a million of in our closets, and turned it into something beautiful!

Turn your wet t-shirt into your church shirt

This church shirt will be on my DIY list along-side all of my wedding DIY projects :)

Photog Frenzy Solved!

I am so happy to have this item checked off my to do list. As some of you know based on my previous posts I was really struggling with the task of having to choose a photographer. I knew I wanted a photographer who exhibits a creative edge but how do you really know you are choosing the right person for the job?? At that point BFF Kiki had put the idea out there about a friend of hers that lives in the Boston area that does photography work. I had seen some of his work in the past since he had done photo work for family members back over the holidays and the photographs were pretty amazing.

Be sure to check out some of Will’s amazing work on his Facebook Fan Page.

I absolutely LOVE his landscape shots, simply gorgeous and full of exactly the creative artistic-ness I was looking for.

Once I received the quote from Will, Groomzilla and I discussed it over and I’m pretty sure from the twinkle in my eye Groomzilla knew he couldn’t say no. Will has been amazing so far answering all of my questions and promptly replying to all of my crazy impatient don’t you know I am a bride emails.

I am very much looking forward to working with Will in the months to come. We were even able to schedule an engagement session when he will be in the Orlando area in May. At least that will give Groomzilla and I who are normally pretty awkward in front of a camera, plenty of time to get used to posing and kissing in front of one! OY VEY!

Surprisingly Groomzilla and I aren't too awkward in this photo!


Happy Monday!

Seeing This Makes me Happy!

BLOG LOVE......From one of our fav brides XOXO

I am recovering from a bachellorette party weekend..OYE! If you happen to see pictures floating around out there of a girl up on stage singing with the band, IT WAS NOT ME. I don't know what it is but when I see a stage I MUST find a way to get up onto it. Maybe in a past life I was rockstar.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!

Flair = Fantabulous!

After the high of purchasing my dress we made our way into the city for our first bridesmaid dress appointment. My sister had found the bridesmaid dresses for her wedding back in June at Flair and she was happy to recommend them. Everything about Flair was amazing. We had the whole place to ourselves and were treated like royalty by our consultant Stacey. Stacey was just as bubbly in person as she was on the phone and she fit right in significantly well with our loud crazy bunch as if she had known us for ever. Stacey is a future bride to be as well so that was just the more helpful!

Stacey picked out a few dresses for the girls to try based on what I told her we were looking for. I was very flexible and really wanted the girls to have a lot of input in the dresses that we chose for them to wear. Most of the dresses, if not all of them, looked beautiful on the girls and we were lucky to have narrowed it down to two dress choices by the time we left. Now I am left with a very difficult decision to narrow it down to just one!

Here are some pictures of the Bridesmaid dresses the girls tried on. Which one is your favorite?

The socks are definitely not a part of the BM attire! Wish I knew the names of all these dress.

This dress is not a contender, we just wanted to see the navy and fuchsia color combo.






Visit Flair’s blog here to get the inside scoop on what they have going on!

The other places we visited were not blog-worthy as the service and accommodations no where near measured up to what we received at Flair. I would go back to Flair any day and very much look forward to working with Stacey!

Non-Wedding Wednesday

Middle Child Syndrome. Do I suffer from this syndrome? Absolutely!

And some people ask "Why? You are one of four, you are not a middle child."

This is the point where I lay it all out on the table for them. To be fair, I do share the middle child position with another sibling, yet that becomes a grey area because that spot is shared with my brother who happens to be the only boy. So yes, I am the middle sister, a middle child, and still to this day truly believe that I was adopted some thirty years ago (my mother will ring my neck for printing this).

Over the years I have come to accept my standing in the child order. I will never be the oldest, I will never be the youngest, and I'm 100% sure I will never be the only boy.

The wine in the above picture my mom found and brought up for us to try as a trial for my wedding shower. It was so cute and delicious and so very fitting! Thanks mom!!

The Garbo gals on our special day in Boston. Ironically I am not standing in the middle of my sisters.


Does anyone else suffer from middle child/sister syndrome??
