Mmm….wedding cheesecakes from Carnegie Deli in New York. These were so tasty. We stacked and decorated them ourselves. My sister made the bird cake toppers and bought the vintage cake knife and server (pst…it’s actually a fish knife). The caterer had more cheesecakes behind the scenes to cut up and serve with a berry sauce…

Ah, the show….Up till now, the wedding had been your garden variety awesomeness. The show took it to the next level. Not because we’re all so talented (ha! that’s a good one) but because it was so charming. Rob and I were more nervous about the show than about actually getting married! We opened with…

We’re almost done with the wedding wrap up! If you have any specific questions about the event, feel free to send me an email. Once the cocktail hour ended, I ran upstairs to change into my second dress while everyone was invited to be seated. The tables were set with the salads and glasses of…

Rob’s nephews were our ringbearers for the wedding – we didn’t have flower girls. Aren’t they smooth in their matching bowties and converse sneakers? Like miniature waiters! I think this photo was taken upstairs when they were relaxing with the babysitter we hired at the last minute. My mom put together backpacks full of activities…

We used the mantelpiece at the club to display a few framed photos. I grabbed six pictures of Rob and me as kids and put them in a hodgepodge of frames I had at home. My mom brought some framed photos of my dress being worn by my great grandmother, great aunt and grandmother. My…

I think our cocktail hour was one of the most fun parts of our wedding! By virtue of rushing through the portrait session after the ceremony (wasn’t that concerned about the portraits), Rob and I got to spend a lot of time mingling with guests. And I had time to show off the antique dress…

Our Blurb guest book idea didn’t work out (the print quality was funky) but I’m glad because our last minute postcard idea was a lot more fun! Two weeks before the wedding, I bought postcards online of the places we were going on our honeymoon and my mom sent me some vintage ones. We put…

And to further set the scene – here’s the room where we had our reception as seen from the stage. The bar is on the left along with views of the bay. That big square table is for the wedding party. The cake and some framed photos are back in the lounge area by the…

Back to the wedding wrap-up! I just received our photos from Paul today and am starting to sort through everything. I love this shot he got of our favors on the tables.

It is my birthday today! My first ever as a “Mrs.” with a new last name. So, to celebrate my first birthday, we invited friends to a local park to celebrate in kiddo style on Sunday. A very casual and easy event: Food: Pigs in a blanket we made that morning (yum!), snack packs of…
