One Month and Wedding Vendors

So today marks one month of marriage. I'm feeling pretty good. We are unpacking still, organizing, writing thank you notes still, and just enjoying being married. I finally got my wedding band in and it's beautiful. I love it! We are starting to look for a house. We going to look at some tonight. Other that that just working and trying to get back to some kind of normalcy. Whatever that is. Well a lot of people have been really curious about the vendors and such I used for the wedding. So I thought I would compile a list. We had fabulous vendors but a lot of it was DYI which I take a lot of pride in. You don't have to spend a fortune to have a fabulous wedding.

Wedding Site
First Baptist Lubbock



Reception Site
Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts
511 Ave. K


Love Love Love the Underwood Center! It was the perfect place to have fun, let loose, and dance the night away. When I was thinking of places to have the reception the one place I couldn't stop think about was the Underwood Center. We actually moved up our wedding date three months so we could be married at FBC and have the reception at the LHUCA.

Rehearsal Dinner Site
Gardski's


Ok if you are looking to have an event for a about 25 to 50 people Gadski's is the place for you. They were so accommodating. We had the front downstairs area all to ourselves and got to pick two items off the menu for people to choose from. The best part is they don't charge you to rent the space like a lot of restaurants do. Highly Recommend :)

Photographer
Captivated Images
Can't say enough about Barry and Dominique. They are amazing!!! If you are looking for the design photography, they are the people to call in the area.

DJ
Music to the Maxx
Tammy Maxx is awesome! She kept everything movin and groovin all night long

Catering, Cakes and Floral
Market Street


Ok we had fabulous food from Market Street. It was so easy. I did over estimate the amount I needed, but for the price, I still ended up way under budget. They even delivered all the food on time and for only a $15 fee. What a great deal!


Floral was more than I could hope for an unbelievable deal! Thanks Patti over at MarketStreet on 98th and Quaker for everything you did. It was beautiful



And finally Mark. One of my new brother in laws made the cakes. They turned out amazing!!! Call Mark at MarketStreet for all your bakery needs.



Bridal Gown, Bridesmaid Dresses, and Flower Girl Dress

Stationary

I did all the print work, from the Save the Date to the Programs to the favors. It was a lot of work, but I would do it again. It all turned out so great. If you have a wedding or event coming up and need and invitation or announcement. Call me :) I work cheaply and efficiently. I use Dennis Brothers and Copy Craft Printers for all my printing needs.
