More Wedding Pics

The ceremony location was outside at the fountain garden.

The reception tables were brown with taupe and ivory accents, with crystal candlesticks.

The cake table with our beautiful banana creme cake!

The candy "buffet".

Robyn giving a toast!

We did it!

It's true. We tied the knot!

We had the wedding at the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs. It was beautiful. I will post more pictures and details as I get pictures. This one Robyn sent to me and it's the only one I have right now.

It was a wonderful weekend! Better than could be imagined. Jenn looked like a princess and the boys looked so handsome. The reception was more beautiful then we could have ever imagined and was a lot of fun.

Packing it all up

OMG! We have spent the day packing up stuff upon stuff upon stuff. Thank goodness my mom came over for a few hours and organized us! Who else would have thought about making a master list inventory of all our wedding stuff.

My car is completely full of boxes of candlesticks, vases and candy for the candy bar, mason jars and silk flowers, and more and more... we had to pack our suitcases and put them in my parents car, along with Jenn's dress. There was no room left!

I cannot belive we leave tomorrow for Eureka Springs and that we are getting married in 3 days! I cannot wait to see Robyn & Traci, too! They are driving all the way from Minnesota! It should be a fun, but stressful and crazy weekened!

Back in Town

We are back from Eureka Springs. We had a nice time. We stayed at the Land O' Nod again and it was fun. They have a great pool and it was nice to go swimming - the first time I had this summer, unfortunately. On top of that, the price is right.

We got in around midnight friday night and crashed and burned. Our wedding planner called early Saturday morning, so we got up pretty early and went for some food. We had to be up at the Crescent Hotel around 1:30 to meet the Officiant, then have the cake tasting at the Crystal Ballroom at 2pm and meet the photographer at 2:30 pm.

We got so much accomplished and we are going to have a banana creme cake. It was so delish! We met with Melody and her photographs are just amazing! We cannot wait for her to do the photography. We are also going to get a video, which isn't something that I had planned on doing. Jenn is pretty happy. I think she got everything she wanted and Melody really worked with us on the price.

We had a leisurely Sunday. We went and had bruch at the Crescent (which was fabulous as always) and took a nap (what a concept!) and swam a little. We took a drive and stopped at some antique shops and found exactly what we were looking for! Bobeches at a great little white and creme store! They were exactly what we had been looking for! We found an antique mall having 20-70% off of all kinds of things and got tons of crystal and glass candlesticks and 2 candlabras for the reception. They are just beautiful!

It was nice to be out of town, just the two of us, doing nothing.

Monday, we got up early and left for Springfield. We got to Joyce's and she took us to the florist's place. We decided on the flowers and centerpieces for the reception tables. They are going to be in silver bowls. It is going to beautiful! Then we went to the linen store and decided to do all brown satin table cloths and ivory and champagne runners. It is just going to be fabulous!

Another Trip to Eureka Springs

Jenn and I are taking one last trip to Eureka Springs next weekend before the wedding in August. We have several appointments lined up. We are having a cake tasting - we are thinking about doing banana creme, spice or carrot and chocolate with cream cheese filling. Jenn came up with the banana creme idea and I just love it.

We are also meeting with a potential photographer, Melody Purdy and I am really impressed with her website. She does amazing work! We are also meeting with the officiant and the guitarist/singer. On Monday, we drive up to Springfield to meet with our wedding planner, Joyce and she is taking us to meet with a florist and to look at table linens.

It should be a very productive weekend! (and the boys will not be with us - yea!)

Weekend in Eureka Springs

We took an impromtu jaunt to Eureka Springs over the weekend. We stayed at the cutest little cottage and had a nice time. I just love it there and I love going whenever we decide to. The boys were a little randy and didn't want to mind and that was frustrating, but they loved they little cottage we stayed in (they got their own bedroom with bathroom - and TV!) and we had a huge tub that they loved taking a bath in.

We met with our Wedding Coordinator and she is wonderful and we got SO MUCH accomplished. We both feel better, more focused and "on track". Whew!

The boys also got their old time photos taken at Judge Roy Bean's and had a blast with that. They were gansters who robbed a bank and E really got into character. It was hilarious!

Speaking of weddings....

we are having a terrible time coming up with a cake. We haven't even got to what flavor the cake will be, we cannot decide what it should look like on the outside. *sigh* I look at tons and tons of pictures and nothing is really what I want. But I don't really know what it is I want.

I would like something different, out of the ordinary, but still classy. Ugh! Help!!!

We found colors!

Jenn and Jill spent the day at Veazey's Party Store, Marianne's Rentals and Hobby Lobby and came up with the most BEAUTIFUL colors for the wedding! I am really excited, because I have been in love with the thought of red and tangerine and Jenn has really wanted purple. Jeweltones are the "in" thing right now, and Jill found the most beautiful shades of each color and put them together and they look terrific! So we have 3 colors!

They found centerpieces and this great fabric to do the tables with. I am just in love with all the ideas they came up with!

I feel like we are actually starting to get some details hammered out, now. *wow*
