We met with the caterer and event planner yesterday. After an exhausting 1.5 hour session with Mom and Dad in tow, we solidified a menu that I very much think everyone will love (I get rather excited about hor d'oerves) The menu is going to be a "Southern Nouveau" theme...basically your favorite Southern classics with an upscale twist. There will be two meats and a vegetarian option (which you carnivores will have to try...because it sounds delish!!) I don't want to give it all away. I mean, I'm a total foodie, so you know the wedding menu is gonna be divine.
Heather (our event planner) had some wonderful ideas for the tent since the entirity of our wedding will be outside on the grounds. We will have a big white tent with hopefully some dramatic chandeliers and string lights. The theme, in case, you haven't heard is red and black. There will be elements of opera, masquerade and even vintage cars. I really love dramatic colors...you won't catch a single pastel at my wedding!!
Also, being a fiancee means that I someone have found a love for bridal television, which in itself is a market all on it's own. My current obsession: My Fair Wedding. Brides tell designer David Tutera their wedding plans, which are usually crazy (read: Pirate Wedding, Swamp Wedding) and he finds a way to make it work and seem glamorous.
That's all for now. I am really happy that all our vendors are committed. I don't have to worry about settling for someone considering we are getting married on a very popular weekend. For the next couple of weeks, I'm just focusing on reaching my goal wedding weight and saving some money!
