Well, let me begin by saying that I had been looking forward to this wedding as much as I had been to my own, not only b/c of the centerpieces and what not, but that I had made such a great friend while in search of these peices...
Well, as many of you know, Sunday turned out to be a BEAUTIFUL day.. The day started out by Tara leaving me a voicemail message while getting her hair done so see how the peices were doing.. Little did she know that I had been tossing and turning all night b/c I was so nervous about making sure everything was perfect for her and her wedding..
I woke up at about 8:30-9a.m. and went right to work..
I had to package up all the stands and try and pack up the truck..
Unfortunately, FH and I couldn't make the ceremony which was at 3:30 p.m. (I was soo sad and got so emotional b/c of that but we couldn't get there in the AM to set up b.c there were other functions going on at the hall, including a reception in her hall that wasn't over until 530 and her cocktail began at 6, so it was a bit tight....
well, we put all the peices together in this little bridal suite. FH helped me and boy was it work!! FH was sneezing and we got soo many cuts on our fingers that my hands still ache today lol
The hall looked beautiful... Being that Tara and I had been planning both our weddings pretty mcuh together and knew who her vendors were and what she wanted, I made sure that everthing was laid out properly and put where she wanted it.. it was great!!
She looked soo beautiful! She was just GLOWING.. her gown was gorgeous and everything was perfect!
Her flowers were also very beautiful (Flower Michele), bm gowns, (loved the red!) The food was great.. It was soo nice out that they had the cocktail hour outside.. I thought it wasw fabulous.. it was soo big outside and teh bar was in the center in this gazebo-like structure.. very nice set-up..
here are a few pics.. a couple are a bit blurry, (probably after I'd had a few drinks lol)..
The Pieces were a hit!! everyone was floored by them, right down the the people at the Hall... Everyone kept asking about them, touching them.. I even overheard some people talking about where they could put them in their homes! lol Luckily an announcement was made to avoid that from happening lol
Here is a pic of her sweetheart table.. she had wanted something on the table, so I offered to lend her the 'WE DO' letters I made.. I think it looked perfect.
