More Thanks and Raves-Part 3

My gorgeous silk organza and alencon lace wedding gown was a Judd Waddell, and my bridemaids wore chocolate taffeta gowns by Watters and Watters, all purchased at Madeleine's Daughter in Portsmouth, NH.

Many, many, many thanks to my friend, bridal consultant Natalie Hanson who has worked with many of my Brides and helped me to find the perfect dress, veil and shoes. She was also very patient with me in my search to find the perfect chocolate brown (that one's too red! that one's too orange!) bridesmaid style.

Here's me and Natalie at a Madeleine's Daughter event last summer! XOXOXO Natalie!!!

Happy New Year!

Hello and Happy 2009!!!


I am so excited- 2009 is going to be a great year!


I am looking so forward to my and Henry's wedding on 4/4/09! We have been having a ball tying up the details- doing our menu tasting, brainstorming music ideas and picking out invitations. I am going to spare him the floral design and linen decisions- he has graciously allowed me carte blanche in those areas! :)


It is even more fun than I expected, being on the other side of the planning, Being the Bride! Even though I do this stuff everyday for and with my own clients, I am finding it very challenging to narrow down the bazillion options and ideas for our wedding. I keep trying to step back and focus on the areas that mean the most to us. Celebrating our new family along with my girls, Paige and Basia and showing our guests a really good time in NH!!!



Speaking of my family, here's a pic of me and my favorite people in the world. This is a shot of us this past summer at the New Britain, CT Rock Cats game. It was a great summer memory for us! I think Paigie was trying to sneak out of the shot for some reason... :)

Cheers to a wonderful 2009!
