WONDERFUL WEDDING PLANNING

We got so much accomplished this week, I'm ecstatic! I didn't take any pictures, honestly, I had to concentrate, take notes, and have free hands at all times to look at samples, price sheets, or taste food. We did the tasting for the reception at the Petroleum Club. The visual presentation and the flavors of the our choices were exquisite. I'm so happy about the food. The executive Chef talked with us and we tweaked a few things according to his suggestions. We're waiting to get the exact wording of his signature dishes. He and the event coordinator at the Club are going to a Chef's convention in Las Vegas in February, they suggested we come back as they might have have some awesome new dishes for us to try. HOW FUN.

We set up most everything for the bridal luncheon. It will be at Southern Trace Country Club. The drive in to the club is beautiful with tasteful homes, extensive seasonal plantings, and oozes Southern charm. The boys will be playing golf there that day and also have a lunch after their round is over.

Our wedding planner has a baker that does a Louisiana version of the California "Couture Cookies". We are picking a cookie for the ladies and for the men...maybe a golf ball cookie. Below is the invitation we think we'll use for the bridal luncheon. Mint Julep Paperie, where we are getting all invites and printing, is going to market in February. Denelle, our great bridal consultant at the store, knows what we are looking for and might have something for us to fall more in love with. Below is the invite we love, we would do the letters in a hot pink. The luncheon colors will be pink and green.

There are so many things to tell, that I'll save for later. Sorry I don't have pictures, other then what I can find online. More to come...glad to be home!!
