Katken's long, pic heavy, planning thread 6/5/09

[katken]

So I totally meant to do this before I left, but of course I had too much to do. So better late than never. We were married on June 5 at AZUL Sensatori. It was fabulous. A review is to follow!

 

I forgot to take some pics before I left, so some of them are photos from the actual event, but at least you get the idea!

The wedding dress that I randomly found in Bend, OR, even though I live in Scottsdale, AZ. It is a Maggie. I wasn’t planning on buying when I did and had hardly done any research on gowns. I’m so happy I ended up buying a Maggie sort of on accident. This was at the store, obviously, still needed alterations at this time:

 

 

 

 

My earrings from Cache:

 

 

My hair piece from my salon:

 

 

My garter (it’s blue) that my mom got for me. She had our date and monogram embroidered in it. My mom also attached my Great Grandmother’s shoe clip so Grandma Bobby could be with me on wedding day.

 

 

My wedding day shoes from Zappo.com:

I also forgot to take a pic of the BM dresses before we left, here is a photo of the girls in them:

 

 

Sorry I don’t have photos of GM and Hubby’s clothes….I forgot to take pics before, so here’s what they looked like at the wedding:

 

 

I’m not much of a DIY-er and we had a lot of people on our invite list, so we bought the STD’s and invites from a regular invitation boutique.

 

Save the dates:

 

Yikes, can’t find a photo right now!

Looks like everything was perfect! Thanks for sharing! Quick question, where did you buy your guest book plate? Is it the kind that you bake after so the signatures settle in and you can use the plate later and the marker will never come off? And how did you get your logo on it?!

Everything looks great! I am sure your guests loved everything!
