May I suggest that a large part of your wonderful day (aside from the stunning bride, great, band ;), handsome groom) etc, was the product of your wonderful joyous approach a terrific attitude. How could anyone feeling your amazing vibe not have a great time?

Re: Our 9/23/04 Wedding Review w/ Pics (Riviera, LA Blossom, JN, Imagine, NYC Swing & More!)

Thank you all so much for your sweet replies and compliments!!

There have been a few questions regarding the slipper basket and photo guest book, so I'll answer them here:

Slipper Basket
I don't have a picture of it yet, but am hoping that the photographer took one. I definitely splurged on the slippers. I found really soft ones with a full (not open) heel, and fabric-like bottom at a local K Mart that was going out of business and had everything on sale. Slippers here were probably around $3.75 each or so. But, I had to go to other K Marts for more sizes, and I think the retail price was $4 or $5 each. Much more than I wanted to spend, but I fell in love with those darn slippers! I bought an assortment of sizes and colors.

When I was doing my slipper research, other brides got theirs for cheap and in bulk from dollardays. Bunnymonkey also suggested China Town - a wonderful idea!

I put a note on the basket that said 'Comfy Slippers, For Unhappy Feet, So you can dance all night long.' I was hoping that only the ladies with sore feet would take them, but I think people took them even if their feet were quite happy.

Photo Guest Book
We bought a black Newport Kolo album with black pages. I made a sign with instructions that dictated the three steps (take a picture, attach it with photo mounts, and sign). People attached the pictures, and then signed next to it with a white gel pen so it would show up on the black paper. We also left refill packages of film out. From what I heard, at certain times, members of our BP were calling people over to take pictures and sign - I think they may have even taken pictures of guests for them.

Not everyone signed, but lots of people did. A few people took photos, but forgot to sign for whatever reason.

It would definitely be beneficial to have someone designated to direct people to the guest book, and help them take the picture, etc. If you can find someone at your hall to do that, if you have a wedding coord., or a helpful friend or family member, definitely go for it!

I hope this was helpful! If anyone has any other questions, please feel free to ask!

May I suggest that a large part of your wonderful day (aside from the stunning bride, great, band ;), handsome groom) etc, was the product of your wonderful joyous approach a terrific attitude. How could anyone feeling your amazing vibe not have a great time?


DebMaher - you are so right! Everyone, me, my DH, our parents, and BP were just glowing the whole day - even our guests and vendors! We were all on such an emotional high - it was incredible. Even when my FG was having a bout of pouty-ness, I was still beaming - nothing could alter the amazing mood that I was in. I have never felt that way before. We all had such a fantastic time. It was truly the best day of my life!

Gorgeous! I'm glad you think the gardens was worth it....I was a little hesitant about paying so much! I love the way you have your veil....do you have anymore closeups of the veil and where did you get it? Congrats and best wishes!
