Majesty Photo's




I came across John's buisness card through a stack of papers I collected at a bridal show. I stoped on his card because

1) Majesty
2) his pictures are amazing.





I e-mailed him, told him my budget and what I was looking for in a photographer. He e-mailed me right away and I met with him the next day! Let's just say he fit us perfectly and gave a a great price. You can view his work at http://www.majestyphoto.com/ his sports/nature shots are really amazing as well!





I am awaiting his contract in the mail, then we will have him booked! yay!





5 Months I will be a

Stay tuned...

Vendor List

Here is a recap of all our vendor's for all our faithful followers:



Venue: The Lodge at Cathedral pines. Colorado Springs, Colorado

(Located in the Black Forest)
website:http://www.cathedralpines.net/content/view/15/29/
review: A+ (so far) Lori the coordinator there is really sweet and accommodating. The facility it self is like an empty shell to do with as we please. There is a LARGE stone fireplace, vaulted wood ceilings with beams, and hard wood floors. I call it an over sized living room.



Florist: Dawn Ackerman with Hillside Consultant's
website: http://www.hillside-consultants.com/
review: A+ (so far) Dawn has been fabulous, she has really worked with my budget and is great at multi-uses for my flowers. My ceremony decor will double as centerpieces at the reception.



Attire: Little White Dress Bridal Shop
website: http://www.lwdbridal.com/
review: A+++ I may be a little bias, however the ladies at LWDBS are wonderful (if I do say so myself)
I am wearing a Sassi Holford dress, a designer out of London. (See previous post)

Photographer: TBD we thought we found "the" photographer, however things change and because of budget, they were a bit out of our price range. I am currently in contact with several different photographers. Hopefully by the end of January we will have one booked.

Caterer: First Impressions- Mike-
website: http://firstimpressionscatering.com/
review: we aren't 100% yet. We met with him created a menu, and next Friday night we will be tasting the food we would be feeding our guest. I really like his style, and approach to wedding food. Keep a lookout for future decision on this.

Baker: TBD we have tasted one baker, Creative Cakes by Carol. We want to try out a couple more before we make our final choice.




My Dress

I would LOVE to show you my wedding gown. However, their are certain lurkers (aka the Fiance)
I will tell you the designer's website and you can view all her beautiful dreses.
She has an adorable shop in London. My work is the only shop in Colorado to carry her gowns.

Arrival of my 4th Flower Girl!


Cali Faith M* was born December 1st, 2008

(the same day as my ring bearer Luke P*)

Due to some complications she wasn't able to go home until this past Saturday.

I went to Alabama to be with my sister Cashel (Maid of Honor) and my new niece.

so this post is a little late : )



Table Numbers


Each table named for one of Colorado's 54 mountain peaks over 14,000 feet.


I think it goes with my whole "mountain colorado" theme!

It's begining to look a lot like Christmas!
