Hi Knotties,
Just wanted to update what I've gotten done so far. It seems we got the big stuff out of the way early, and now all the little things are coming up! With less than 90 days away, I'm feeling it! Ahhhhhhh! (Wedding date is 11.11.11)
Venue: Pacific Electric Lofts Building - Penthouse Ballroom, DTLA --Love our venue and we got an amazingly good deal
Catering: El Rocoto Peruvian Restaurant, Cerritos --Peruvian sit-down dinner with a chicken, beef, and seafood option. (Fiance is Peruvian)
Officiant - Reverend Guadalupe Arrieta - LOVE her. She and her husband are an amazing team, and is catering to a very special and intimate ceremony. She gave us wonderful ideas!
Photography - Jenna Elliott with One Eleven Photography. Just met with her this weekend. We loved her style and her work.
Make-up/Hair - Jill Anderson with Beauty by Jill. She does beautiful work!
Dress: Designed my me! Being made by Janet at My Big Fat Beautiful Wedding. (Funny name, but am confident in their work). Great deal on my dress for exactly what I wanted!
Flowers - Nandra at White Lotus Florist. She gave me amazing ideas that I wouldn't have thougt of. At a great price!
Favors - Donation to Livestrong. Livestrong bracelets and cards for guests with a special note about what the donation is about. (Fiance is a cancer surivor).
Rentals - being taken care of by coordinator!
We're still looking to get our lounge and lighting rentals in also. As well as the bar. Our coordinator is helping us!
And now I have to find shoes, a veil, and all sorts of other things. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!
We're still looking for ideas to serve in lieu of wedding cake. We only wanted to have a small wedding cake for us, to cut for pictures, but serve the guest something else. Thought about cake pops, or cupcakes, but am kinda over that idea. Anybody doing something other than wedding cake for their guests?
