The Cavalry is Coming

I’ve quickly realized that while I’m fully capable of planning my own wedding, I am not capable of splitting myself in two and being my own coordinator on the day of. Images of myself directing the florist and calling my own music as I begin to walk down the aisle were not very appealing so I began the search for what’s known as a “day of” planner in the wedding biz.

After meeting with Laura and Garry of A Diamond Affair, I walked away with not only two new best friends but a whole month of support leading up to the wedding! Rehearsal coordination…check. Welcome basket help….check. Schlepping presents to honeymoon suite…check. Ahhh – the cavalry has arrived!

Wedding Day

All Aboard the “Choo” Train

I’d like to introduce you all to my friend Jimmy Choo. We met on Saturday and I think this new love of my life might even be enough to give Mr. Right a run for his money! It’s a little less than four months until the big day and I purchased the second most coveted wedding item next to the dress, although I must admit this was almost equally as exciting! I slipped my foot in to the buttery soft leather and it was love at first sight…

Tick. Tock.

Today marks exactly 4 months until the big day. It’s as if a switch went off in my mind because all of a sudden the smaller details seem to be creeping in. Relatives calling to ask about flights, airports, things to do in the LA area. Rehearsal dinner location. Invitations!

Let the games begin….

Bridal Shower

April Showers Bring May Anxiety Attacks!

Ok so I have BIG decisions coming at me and they all revolve around the age old argument of having a bridal shower at a home versus a hotel or restaurant. Anyone out there have any defining thoughts that will make this decision easier?

I initially loved the idea of doing a catered fete poolside at my 1920′s style townhouse complete with tray pass mimosas (this is where it pays to have bff’s in the industry because they KNOW how to plan a party!). But with all of the amazing oceanside restaurants in LA (hello Malibu!) I’m wavering. This is where my event planning mind kicks in – home reads more warm and personal…and more work! Swanky hotel or restaurant reads chic “LA” gathering, less work but perhaps more stuffy? And then there’s the games (insert Hollywood horror flick scream here). I’m not a big shower games gal so possibilities of finding me mummified in a toilet paper wedding dress will most likely depend on mimosa intake!
