So kids, I told you I’d start putting up wedding updates weekly on Wednesdays. “Wedding Wednesdays” as I like to call them.
This comes on the heel of BIG NEWS!
We put down our deposit on our reception site last night.
We may have had a few drinks before hand. We probably should have talked it over but the room is beautiful in it’s hard wood decor and balcony overlooking the inside of Gallery Place and perfect tables with a rustic classiness that was the complete opposite of the ballroom we were considering. It is perfect.
Also key factors: they provide flowers for the centerpieces. Now…I haven’t fully decided if I want to use them or if I still want to make my own. I’m thinking zinnias and hydrangeas. They often have roses (which…DO NOT WANT) and other seasonal flowers. But…to sound like a bridezilla…it’s my wedding and i want it perfect and beautiful and classic.
They provide linens, if we want we can hook up an iPod and set up playlists so that we don’t need to get a dj and they can emcee the event. Our planner has 20 years of experience and is hillarious.
We’re still planning to do a tasting, we’ll be saving about $6,000 and getting more for our money including a cocktail hour with actual hors deurves. I am- to say the least – thrilled. It’s perfect and it just makes everything a little bit more real.
So now, I need to look at the Knot to do list/emily post guide/real simple book to see what’s next. Probably dress shopping which i am MORE than nervous to start, don’t ask why, mostly because I don’t even know where to start. *sigh*
Oh look, Real Simple says to start researching other vendors too. Great. Joy. Hate. hate. hate. hate. *sigh* it never ends does it? next up? Florist. Photographer. and DJ. If my pal doesn’t workout. If we can get a good rate on a DJ. Or just use their in house services.
So that’s your wedding update kids 
Yay for reception venues! And parties! And yay!
