We have set a date, January 22nd, 2011. We are in the process if picking out a venue, and designing the stationary. We are going to be DIY-ing the entire wedding ourselves (minus the food, cake and photography), easier on the stress level and easier on the wallets. Now don’t go getting your panties all in a bundle now, I know that it is a while a way. We are paying for it ourselves, and the last time I checked if you are having a wedding vendors try to gorge the hell out of you. But anyways, enough of that.
Here is some general information – to get you in the mood.
We have decided on..
Colors – Tealish/Black/Copper
Location – Arizona
Theme – 20′s or 50′s style. (We are still going back and forth).
Alright, we also need help in deciding a venue and photographer. Two of which need to be decided early (for $ wise, and sanity of planning all other aspects).
Here are some ideas we have pulled together so far.
Photographers:
Kimberly Jarman
Justine Miller
Dream Lenz
Photography by Jo
Purple Nickel Studio
Venues:
The Waterfront
Stonebridge Manor
The Wright House
Pera (it’s an SRP facility for employees)
Taliesin West (Frank Lloyd Wright school of Architechture)
Other than that, I would love any suggestions, referrals, ideas, etc. I will be updating the more regularly so the families know what is going on with us. All of you live on opposite sides of the country, so we have to meet in the middle. Thank god for the internet.
Also, to get this ball rolling. Please leave your email address, and mailing address (or email to either one of us, contact info to follow), so we can get our guest list and all that jazz going.
Thank you,
Antonette
