Hello There
I see what you mean this board is a ghost town. I like the shoes - cool color. My wedding will be red and silver.

Your dress is beautiful - what are your colors, what is your date and where are you getting married? My colors are red, silver and white and I am getting married December 22, 2012. I haven't reserved my venue for the ceremony or my reception but I am looking to have it at the Clay center. Have you attended or heard anyone comment on a wedding held there?

Yes I am glad to see someone else on the board as well. I am getting married in Charleston and so excited about my big day. It just seems so far away. I like your color combinations - pink is my favorite color. I am creating my guest list as we speak. :-)

 I have to agree. I think, so far, my favorite detail is my dress. I already have it! It's a Vera Wang. I'm so in love with it. I'm also making a brooch bouquet. I have all of my brooches, I think. I can't wait to put it together. I'm getting married 9/22/12 at Heston Farm in Fairmont!

My colors are chocolate, plum, and copper. Our ceremony and reception are at Heston Farm (a winery) and it's outdoors.
I'm super excited, although it still seems like it's forever away!

Jjones- Thats awesome, Heston FArms is beautiful!! and we have the same date!! We are looking into having my bridal shower at Heston Farms! I am a little worried about a WVU home game that weekend since I am getting married in Morgantown. However we planned it at Lakeview so we wouldnt have to worry about the traffic. Also your dress is awesome!! What all do you have done so far, I'm interested to hear what venue/professionals you are working with since you are so close to my area.
I'm glad to see more people on this board!!

criley21- I know what you mean. We are a little worried about football as well. We are going to block off rooms at a hotel before next seasons schedule is released, so hopefully we will be ok. I have our photographer, our my engagement pics taken, have my baker (a friend of mine does an awesome job and plans on opening her own bakery), have a lot of my decorations, my sister-in-law to be works for a marketing firm so she is in charge of our STDs and invitations (she's already designed our monogram and our STD), picked out my bridesmaid dresses, purchased brooches for my brooch bouquet, have my day of coordinator, and I'm sure there's probably more but I can't think of it! haha.
Oh yeah, we are doing the rehearsal, ceremony and reception at Heston. I'm so excited. You are right, it is beautiful and such a perfect place for our wedding.
I'm still looking for a DJ and a caterer.
How about you?

criley21- I knew I'd forget something. My cousin is currently in Divinity school at Vanderbilt, so she is going to officiate our wedding. I'm really excited about that too because we are the same age and grew up together. It's a special touch to our wedding. Plus it will be her first ceremony as well.

Jjones73- In our package we have a block of rooms reserved; our guests just have to book their room a month in advance. I'm just hoping that it happens to not be a home game...fingers crossed! Wow you have a lot done. I've been slowly planning our wedding between graduate school and working at the hospital. We have our photographer and have taken our e-pics. We have our church which is St. Marys, our venue which is Lakeview. Our cake is included in our package we just had to reserve whatever bakery we wanted to do it. we are going with Myers creative cakes; she does the 'fake cakes' layers of styrophoam decorated with 1 layer of realy cake to cut. Then we will serve sheet cake without fondant. I got my dress and I know what style I want for the bm I just havent picked it yet. Fi's best man's famiyl owns a flower shop so they will be doing our flowers. Fi's mother has made all the centerpieces. I have everything to make my favors and table numbers. I'm working on booking a videographer now. I have no idea what to do for invitations; for std's I plan to use one of our e-pics on a postcard (something simple). A day of cordinator is included in our package at Lakeview. That is awesome that your cousin is officating your wedding; how personal. The priest presiding over our ceremony has known me since I was little; so thats a plus. We are having our rehersal dinner at Oliverios in Morgantown and I'm hoping to have my bridal shower at Heston farms :-) I cant wait, 10 months away :-)

criley21- Wow you have a lot done also.
My mother-in-law to be is working for a friend's flower shop and has come up with some ideas. I'll have to see what she's come up with though. =X
The cake idea is a good one. We are doing cupcakes and having ColdStone's mobile cold stone there. Something different and my FI LOVES ice cream. It was his only request for the reception! haha.
We are having a candy bar as well. (everyone will need to see a dentist after our wedding after having all the sweet treats haha) That'll be one of our favors. We also got beer and wine glasses for everyone. We are going to etch them with a monogram. I loved the idea of everyone having their own glass and not using plastic, so I searched for some cheap, but nice glasses. We ordered them from the Dollar Tree. Surprisingly they are super thick and really nice. We also ordered plastic champagne glasses.

The ice cream truck sounds super cute and unique!!! I'm just curious if this was this an expensive rental? Also what a great idea to provide your guests with glass wine/beer glasses. Deff a great way to make your reception more classy!! Can you provide your own alcohol at Heston Farms or do you have to use their wine?

The ice cream wasn't bad at all.
We can bring our own alcohol. We don't have to use theirs. They did tell us that's something that will soon change in their contracts though.

My favorite detail so far is the venue. The place is just gorgeous and I'm totally in love with it, especially since the wedding colors are black, white, and red.
