bonjour, my loves!
happy WEDnesday :)
last weekend was filled with wedding to-dos, food & lots of wine!
i went back to our wedding venue with my mom, maid of honor and my cousin {one of my bridesmaids}
to meet some of the vendors in person,
iron out some important detail questions & eat a lot of cake!
{cake tasting was just one of those things i could not fathom missing!!!}
my brain is now on overload with the reality sinking in of being 4 months away from the big day...eek!
after meeting my vendors, though, i am feeling much more at ease and have faith that they will
all pull everything together beautifully & perfectly :)
{a BIG leap in the right direction!!!}
we were so busy running from appointment to appointment that my photo taking was completely lame :(
i did manage to capture some of our dinner at the restaurant that is catering our event!
i have to say - it was so tough for me to choose food over the phone
{a long distance wedding is much more tough than i ever imagined!}
but with the help of my amazing coordinator and yelp :) i chose a caterer that seemed perfect for us...
they source nearly all of their food from their own farm and focus on organic, fresh foods...
if it can't come from their farm {i.e. halibut}, they source it locally.
well, let me tell you...we made the 100% perfect decision!!!
i still can not stop thinking about the dinner we enjoyed!
meals are prepared seasonally, so while the items that we ate
will not be exactly what is served at the wedding...
i left with a perfect taste in my mouth and no worries that our meal will be anything short of scrumptious!
we shared items off the menu - one appetizer, one wood fired pizza, one salad & one entree...
every item we ordered had us mmming & awwing throughout the entire dinner!
the desserts were so incredible that i reconsidered traditional wedding cake altogether...but now i have decided that we will just have a variety of cake & other desserts :)
see those strawberry & chocolate numbers?! yep, they'll be making an appearance at our wedding!
{and something tells me that they will be making a quick disappearing act as well!}
the goal of our entire event is to make it feel like one big, intimate dinner party...
making it fun & interactive for our guests...
so for the entrees, we are going family style!
and just for fun, i thought i would help set the tone for you
by showing inspirations for the look & feel of the dining tables :)
{that is really "our" vineyard!}
i can't wait to see everything begin to come to life!!!
now, that pretty much all major to-dos are squared away,
i can focus on decor! my favorite part :)
{if you couldn't guess that already!}
what was / is / will be your favorite part of the wedding planning?!
