Jennifer and David had an absolutely spectacular day on the cape for their wedding.  It took place at the lovely New Seabury Country Club, where Jennifer’s parents are lucky enough to be members.

So………is it any surprise I was in love with her shoes?  Purple!!!

Loved all of the bridesmaids’ bouquets…

Jennifer and David chose to see each other before the ceremony, so we did all of the family & formal pictures before the ceremony.

Even their dog got in on the action!

The appetizers looked amazing………if caprese on a stick and sushi don’t do it for you…

How about sliders??

So, since we had already done all of the formals before the ceremony, we grabbed a dozen golf carts and drove down to the beach for some fun pictures!!  The light and weather couldn’t have been better.

The room looked amazing….lighting, flowers, everything.

Beantown was there – they are one of my FAVORITE wedding bands………they get everyone out on the dance floor before the bridal party is even introduced.

Jennifer and David danced their first dance to “All Night Long” by Lionel Richie – awesome!!!!!!

So, if delicious cake isn’t enough for you, how about passed mini-ice cream cones?  Yum!!

Hope that you guys had a fantastic honeymoon!!!  Everything will be on-line soon!!!

“1)Sweetheart Table and Extended Cocktail Hour
James and I had been told by so many people that we wouldn’t really get to enjoy our wedding let alone eat anything at the event. You will be too busy we were told, have to talk to too many people. Well, James and I not only ate a full meal (why not? After all that planning and tasting, etc!) we got to sit back and relax during dinner and take it all in, the whole day, just the two of us, as we opted for a sweetheart table. No one bothered us while we ate (thanks to the 2 staff members who guarded our table!) and we got to eat a full meal, and notice how much fun all of our family and friends were having. I think it was really important that we got that 15 minutes to ourselves. It is such a busy day, but it’s a day for the two of you, and you should get to enjoy it too. Also, having an extended cocktail hour meant we could also mingle with family and friends for a bit. We finished up our group and portrait photo’s and still got to grab a glass of wine and some appetizers! You shouldn’t miss your whole wedding!

2) Take dance lessons before
We received a lot of compliments on our dance. It was nothing special, but it was obvious we had practiced. It is an important moment in your life, and you should make the most of it! I notice at weddings now if the bride and groom have a practiced dance, and you definitely notice when they are doing the high school slow dance sway, and I think it takes away from the moment (and the photo op!). James and I had so much fun during our 2 dance lessons and it takes the stress out of the whole planning process, even if it is only for that 2-3 hours. We grabbed a nice dinner in Boston after, and looked forward to showing off our moves come the big day! ”

"3) Have your cake, and eat it too!
We loved, loved, our wedding cake from Montillio’s and didn’t want to wait a full year to eat the top which we saved and froze. So, my parents kept it at their beach house for a few weeks, and we ended up sharing it with my mom, dad, sister and close friends over Labor Day weekend with a nice bottle of wine on the back porch! It was fun to reminisce about the day and eat the cake before it was covered in a nice layer of freezer burn!"

"4) Take a day
Don’t leave for your honeymoon the following morning/day! We had a brunch the next afternoon, had to head back to Boston in Cape traffic, unpack our wedding stuff and make sure we were all packed for our trip to Puerto Rico. We never would have been able to do all that just one day after the wedding, so take at least one day to decompress and unpack all those details first. You will still have a fabulous trip and won’t be so frazzled! "

Thanks Erica!!!

However, one of the things that I do spend quite a bit of time on is designing and printing albums for all of my clients from the past year. It is very much a collaborative process, with my clients telling me what their favorite images are and their design preferences, and then I give them layouts to approve.

Here are a few that have been in the works the last month…

That one is a matted album - white pages with black trim. This next one is also a matted album, but with black pages and white trim. I love that I can make the openings any size I want!

These next samples are all flush-mount or coffee table style albums. I seem to have a lot of clients ordering these this year! The image covers the entire page, and you can layer images if you like, or just keep it simple.

Enjoy! Stay tuned for the second kinda-annual Fabulous/Not-So-Fabulous contest!!!
