Wedding inspiration
This is so elegant and beautiful! These images are not of our wedding decorations, but similar. Our wedding is black and white inspired, but with red accents. Our bridesmaids will be in black dresses and one of the cake designs was very similar to the one shown here. I guess you’ll just have to wait and see which one we go with!

Logistics
Yes, that is this week’s agenda. Figuring out who needs to be where and when.
When and where should the flowers be delivered?
What time should the cake arrive?
When can I drop off reception centerpieces, placecards, etc.
Where and when should the bridal party meet?
Can we get an early check in at the hotel?
Where can I find a trumpeter at last minute?
When and where do we want photos (esp if it is windy/snowy)?
Most importantly…when will we find time to pack and finalize last minute details and still find time to eat some turkey and pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving!?
I’m also cutting in my holiday shopping schedule.
What was I thinking!? 
Oh yeah…Getting married on our 10 year anniversary. That’s why! I guess that helps bring some perspective to all this. Yay us. Cheers!

So, you know how I was asking for black, white and red decoration ideas? Well, my friend Jen shared a very cute idea with me…strawberry tuxedos! How adorable!
Kristin will perform
Ever since I heard Alex’s cousin Kristin play the violin for the first time (many moons ago), I had hoped that one day she would perform during our wedding ceremony. That day is quickly approaching and we are honored to announce that she has graciously accepted. Yay!
Her music is absolutely beautiful. I simply can’t describe it in words. I am just extremely happy that the timing of the wedding and her travel plans home for Thanksgiving seem to coordinate. Kristin is Tim and Carol’s daughter, recently graduated from Berklee College of Music and just returned from a European tour with her band, The Young Republic. Many thanks Kristin!

Today I used my lunch break to meet with Lutz Flower Shop and then my dinner was well spent at Piece of Cake Pastry Shop on Glenway Avenue (referral from Brittany). I still have a few more places to shop and compare but would like to check these two off the list soon.
I know most people think cake is cake and a rose is a rose, but that’s not all I’m looking from a vendor. Personality and customer service is also key, as I am trusting my wedding day “theme” with complete strangers! :o)
For example, my dress, bridesmaids dress, tuxes, rings, hall, church….are all pretty standard and I am pretty confident on how they will look on 11/29/08 (heck, I should know by 10/1/08 if all goes well). However…I’m not really in control of the flowers, decorations and the cake design come the morning of the big day. I’m not really a bride-zilla, just a worry wort! I need to feel comfortable that “everything will be taken care of” and all I have to do is show up at the reception. (That’s why I have nine bridesmaids to shield me from any drama!)
So, referrals are key here so please leave a message below with any other vendors I should consider. Many thanks!

Our wedding colors are mostly black and white (bridesmaid dresses are black) but I’m trying to incorporate some fun accents of red. Here are some ideas that I really like. If you see something else that I might like, feel free to send it my way!
Cakes, florists & limos-oh my
So, yeah. That’s where I am on my to-do list this month. Got any suggestions or referrals? Please send them my way!
