Wedding Expo at the Hynes January 2011

This past weekend I was at the Hynes Convention Center for the 12th Annual Bridal Expo put on by Jenks Productions. I met some amazing couples and had a great time. I got to try some delicious cake from The Bean Counter, hear some great music from World Premiere Band, and try out the photobooth that was provided by Shutterbooth.

I took some pictures of my booth and of the expo.

I love my DIY centerpeices. simple and easy and inexpensive. I ususally work with a florist and have them put together a few arrangements for me. But I really enjoy doing this stuff on my own.

Above is the Shutterbooth photobooth that I went in and took a few pictures. I LOVE the photo booth idea, and plan on having one at my own wedding.

World Premiere Band performed twice throughout the day- very entertaining!!

One booth at the expo was a man that makes different things out of balloons. I didnt catch his name, but I took a picture of his bride and groom balloon people.

Just a few thoughts...

Other than the fact that I am in love with David Tutera, I have a feeling that this season of My Fair Wedding is going to be ridiculous. This past Sunday's was outrageous, and now that he has become so popular a ton of people want to get involved in his weddings.

They just filmed at the La Quinta Resort in Palm Springs (which is part of the Hilton Family), and I only know that because my old boss now works there. Super excited- and jealous.

I found my dress!!!! I am debating whether or not to post it online because I do not know if my Fiance looks at my blog or not.. but maybe I will post it soon. Now I have to figure out bridesmaid dresses and I am not sure if I want to do long or short. And we are meeting with a photographer on Monday. Lots of planning going on, and I am looking forward to planning my own and 2011 at the hotel.

I love this time of year, with newly engaged couples after the holidays, they are interested in having a tour of the hotel and learning more about our packing, meeting new people and talking about weddings is my favorite thing in the world.

I always have time for wedding chat- so feel free to call or email me anytime!

My Fair Wedding

VERY VERY excited that My Fair Wedding with David Tutera starts a new season on Sunday January 2nd at 9:00pm. This is my FAVORITE wedding show. David and his team are amazing and very creative.

Wedding Dresses

I am going dress shopping on Monday with my Mom (and hopefully my little sister). Very excited to try some more dresses on. It has been a few months since the last time I went, and I think I have a pretty good idea of what I want.

I didnt think I wanted a 'ball gown' fluffy type dress- but that seems to be what I am looking at lately. But who knows, I may change my mind on Monday.

Below are some pictures from The Knot and other sites that I found and that I like.

Cara and Pat* November 13, 2010

The one wedding I was looking forward to talking pictures at, I forgot my camera! Cara's mom works with planning events, so I knew that it would be amazing. And it was.

They spent the entire weekend at the Hilton Boston Back Bay with welcome receptions, weddings, an after party and a brunch. The weather was beautiful- they were very lucky. Karma- it was all Karma.. they are such a perfect/genuine couple- and their wedding day was perfect (sunny and I believe around 65 degree weather in November!)

Below are some pictures. The professional pictures are from Katherine Jane Photography.

Their amazing, and delicious cake was from Cakes for Occassion in Danvers. They are a Nut Free Bakery... which was very important- due to some allergies! :)

Jenna and Seth* October 16, 2010

Jenna and Seth got married here at the Hilton Boston Back Bay on October 16, 2010. The ceremony took place in Westminster while the cocktail hour took place in Pre-Assembly and Pre Function (immediately following the ceremony) and then dinner took place in our Belvidere Ballroom.

Below are some pictures from the day.
