The Best Day Ever…The Rehearsal Dinner

wedding recaps

August 15, 2011

Working with Mere Bulles to host our rehearsal dinner was a breeze…that is, until the actual day of. See, this is where I remind potential brides out there that indeed, something will go wrong, and you have to just get over it. In the long run, the small stuff just doesn’t matter {and yes, you heard me correctly, I am saying this}.
This was the one area from our wedding were there were a few “snafoos”, though thanks to one amazing MOH and my faithful bridesmaids, they were able to efficiently work their magic and make sure all of my planning and efforts were completed before any of our guests noticed that the staff at Mere Bulles had simply “forgot” to put out my placecard holder board, picture frames with table numbers, seating assignments, etc. Other than that, the night went off without a hitch…take a peek at just some of my favorites:

See, Mom and Meg “fixing” things…they probably knew I’d go nuts 😉
My crafty placecard board…courtesy of hard work via Mom and me
I was so happy with the finished product…inside the envelope was
each person’s assigned table number

Custom table number cards I had designed
Yummy passed hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hour
One of my favorite details…I had my florist use these
Anthropologie coffee cups for small vases

Oh happy day!!

A few more of the little details…

The mother who made everything possible… Love you Mom
Me and my Papa

The best part of the meal…the strawberry pull apart cake!
awww…cute couple!
Our custom monogram was used throughout the weekend…here’s the napkins!

Starting the slideshow…oh this was fun to say the least

Can you tell I was getting a little emotional??
but then laughter so the tears wouldn’t flow!!

Amazing parents…the best weekend of my life
and the day they said they had always dreamed of
and the toasts begin…MOH Meg
 Mom’s turn to embarrass me with “Natasha-isms”

 Our thank-yous to everyone for supporting us and
