Massachusetts-Boston

Hello hello!

Hey there ladies! Just wanted to check in with you all - the wedding on Saturday was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Every single one of our vendors brought our vision to life spectacularly and our guests had SUCH a blast. I just wish the night was longer. I will do vendor reviews soon, but in the meantime, I just have to drop a few names of our Boston-area vendors who were really spectacular beyond words: The Sheraton Boston Hotel Saint Cecilia Parish Petalena Savoy Strings Aaron Topfer The Sheraton and Petalena are really my two big hidden gems from the wedding. We could not have been happier with either of them, and they made our wedding a dream come true. I know especially here on the knot, people like to book vendors whose names get thrown around all the time, but I really urge all of you to take time to do your own research and find the vendors who work best for you. I haven't/hadn't heard these names on the board at all, but they are absolutely incredible - and my husband and I are pretty hard to please. Anyway, we spent a couple days in Newport and on the Cape after the wedding, and we are moving this week, then leaving for our honeymoon in St. Thomas next Wednesday. I'll post a few pics that friends put on facebook below.

    Oops, also want to add Charlotte Phinney as another amazing vendor in the area. SO pleased with my hair & makeup. She really listened to exactly what I wanted and did a fantastic job.

    Welcome back!!!! It's funny, on your wedding day, FI and I were walking through the Sheraton to get to the mall and we saw them setting up your cocktail hour! :o)I'm glad you had a good experience with Charlotte! I'm looking forward to working with her, too.

    Thanks everyone! I can't wait to share more photos with everyone, although I think it will be a few weeks before we see pro pics or our video trailer. Aarchidi, Petalena is our florist - they are absolutely fabulous.
