What a productive weekend!! FI and I went up to Sedona for the weekend to hash out more wedding details and do the menu tasting, and it was a huge sucess! I got so much done! Wow, what a weight off my shoulders!
First off, I finally nailed down the florist! Not only is her name Amy (mine is too, only spelled Aimee
but it turns out that the picture I based my inspiration for my centerpieces (that I found on the knot of course
were hers! She was the one that created these amazing centerpieces! It was totaly fate! Sedona is good at doing things like that
Next, another huge check, the photographer!! Im sure people are like 'wow you're crazy waiting until now' but Im so picky >.< and it totally paid off! Their work is jaw droppingly amazing, and it was the best price by far, at $2200 for
unlimited time with the photographers! Their work is absolutely stunning; it looks like magazine quality! Check out their website:
