Does featuring myself on Fabulous Friday make me a total jerk? Yes? Oh. Ok. Sorry I’m not sorry. Just love our Thank You notes — and wanted to give a shout to Jessie from Jessica Smith Photography, because I love her. (and a shout to Cris of Kiss My Tulle for the football idea!!)
I got our Thank You’s printed (and they’re almost all sent out… it’s only taken 7 months) by Overnight Prints, and they did a great job. Simple postcard, with envelope… and SUPER affordable (I think it was under $30 to print 200 of them…)!
Note: I played with this picture in Instagram prior to posting, in real life, there’s no glare and the pic is perfectly perfect 
Thanks, Jess! xo
Your guest blogger, Claire, grew up in the North of England where frugality is a way of life… which, as you can imagine, strikes a chord with me. Claire contacted me wanting to guest blog about her experience planning her wedding in Central Park. You’re probably thinking the same thing I’m thinking… There’s no freakin’ way that you can have a “frugal” wedding in Central Park. Welps, she’ll do to you what she did to me: prove that thought WRONG. Check it out!
(anybody else LOVING Claire’s dress and adorable flats?)
A Run-down of Claire’s Big Day:
- Location: Ladies’ Pavilion, Central Park, about a mile from our apartment.
- Date: July 1, 2011
- Colors: Green! We were surrounded by the beautiful natural colors of Central Park. I wore white, for the first (and last) time in my clumsy food-spilling life (and got away with it), and we both had white roses.
- Theme: Functional and fun.
- Food: OK, this bit was a bit more frivolous, lunch with our witnesses at 80 year old Russian Tea Rooms, fancy gold-plated restaurant in Midtown Manhattan, and dinner at a lesser-known but equally fabulous restaurant, with views of the sun setting over the Manhattan skyline
- Drink: Wine with lunch, Manhattan cocktails with dinner
- Dress: J Crew, white, linen, classic.
The Boys: Husband in navy suit, our beagle puppy declined to dress up.
The Girls: Our two beautiful witnesses came in their puppy-proof summer finery.
The Ceremony: Quick. 15 minute maximum. Groom is a man of few words and Bride was afraid of tears, so our officiant did most of the talking for us. [click to continue…]
