A refreshing surprise

For all of you that are not from here, the weather might feel extra hot and humid. Our apologies but we will make an effort to offer refreshments and a useful fan program to help keep you cool. These cute drink jars were purchased at TJ Maxx (one was a gift from the Stevic's). I hope they come in handy.

Songs Selected!

We met with Graham last week, our ceremony musician. He sat on a bench and sang for us. It was beautiful. I'm not going to tell you how or when, but here are the songs we selected to be featured throughout the ceremony.

Lovin in my baby's eyes
I will
Waiting on an Angel
You belong to me

I will post more about Graham later!

The Alter

I was not going to have an alter but after meeting one of Kevin's "booth buddies" (the person his booth was next to for 3 full days) from the home show last year I changed my mind. She is going to try to recreate this beautiful alter from Karen Bussen . I've actually written about Karen before, she wrote the Simply Stunning Weddings.

The artist, Sarah from center it designs will be taking on this wedding project. She specializes in event artistry and I've very excited to see how she comes up with this. More to come about Sarah as we finalize the project details.

The Veil

Here it is the infamous birdcage veil. I am so anxious about this. After I had my hair done the veil I was going to use just did not fit with the style. It should be here in a few days. I purchased it from Etsy. In case you have never heard of Etsy, it is heaven. It's a website where you can buy and sell all things handmade. I purchased it from the Powder Blue Bijoux shop.

Ceremony Music

We finally, finally have our ceremony musician! Yea, thanks Other Brother Entertainment. We booked Graham Whorley. He's a local guitarist. He will definitely provide a unique element to our ceremony. He is incredibly talented and has a very wide range. We are still finalizing his song list but I assure you that it will not be boring. Hopefully, he will sing everyone down the aisle.

Here's his site, http://www.grahamwhorley.com/music.html
