Hello everyone!
I have been super busy with finalizing last minute wedding details but figured I needed a break and decided to take one by writing an entry on a blog about our wedding.  Ironic, I know.
As promised in my last post, I will be writing about the “fun” stuff this time around.
I am going to [...]

I just received the question below, via email:
Hello!  I found your webpage doing a lantern search for my wedding.  I would love to know where you bought the silver and glass lanterns.  Thank you so much for posting!
We purchased these contemporary nickel at Restoration Hardware, end of season 2009. They are the Santorini Square Lanterns [...]

Edwina Werleman is the owner of E2 Events and Celebrations where she not only offers planning services but also owns wedding and party rentals. We adored Edwina from the moment we met Edwina during our site visit in May. She helped us explore our options, in particular, high-rise vs low-rise – Palm Beach vs Eagle [...]

To help consume some of my wedding planning energy, I’ve been working on creating an ‘Inspiration Board‘. Its really just a collage of a lot of things I would love to see this wedding include. Soon I’ll have to start replacing ‘wish list’ items with the actual items as I know some items on here [...]

I am happy, happy to announce that our favorite lanterns will soon be available in Aruba. By mid-August our independent wedding planner will have these in her possession! One of my ‘must-haves’ is candlelight for dinner, however the wind in Aruba makes that a challenge! We got excited about the prospect of lanterns but were [...]

Suddenly in the last week I’ve been having trouble sleeping. It seems that as I crawl into bed I suddenly start thinking about all of the wedding stuff I haven’t done yet! The day before yesterday I realized there is less than 4 months to go and I hadn’t even started looking at invitations, didn’t [...]

This weekend my fiance and I were hanging out in the bookstore and of course I was sitting with a pile of wedding books and magazines in front of me! I stumbled across a couple of books by Karen Bussen that I loved! Lots of tips for a simple, sophisticated decor. In a place like [...]

Well unfortunately there hasn’t been much progress in the last couple of weeks. I’m still waiting on proposals for decorating (using outside vendors) and still have a lot of unanswered questions. The latest issue is trying to sort out the Welcome Party. The Marriott says they don’t really start planning the wedding details until about [...]

Since our reception will be at night, I really love the idea of having candles on the tables. The problem is that Aruba is really windy. To have candles they will have to be in large hurricane vases or lanterns. I found some lanterns I love on Pottery Barn’s website but have not yet found [...]

Well we’re finally comfortable with having the wedding and reception at the hotel but are still struggling with decor. Dinner will be held on the lawn between the pool and the beach and we’re looking for ways to make this space more intimate. We want 1-2 long tables but don’t want to feel so ‘exposed’ [...]
