Christie's (islandbride317) Planning Thread w/ LOTS of Pics! :)


Recommended Posts

Here's a preview of the At-Home Reception on the Chesapeake Bay in Pasadena, Maryland (on Sat., August 14th) planning I have been doing so far (a full planning thread will be coming for that closer to the date):

 

Here is the dress I will be having shorted to just below the first group of ribbons at the knee to wear at the AHR:

Our venue is the Bay Ballroom at Kurtz's Beach -- I wanted something near a large body of water, so the guests can feel like they're having a mini-getaway (please excuse the rainy day the pics were taken):

 

View of behind the head table:

Here is the cake I will be having, made by Fiona's Cakes and Pastries in Maryland:

* (2) tiers will be Tiramisu cake with mascarpone filling

* (1) tier will be classic red velvet cake with cream cheese filling

* (1) tier will be white cake with chocolate ganache and fresh strawberry filling

* The entire cake will be covered in Italian Meringue buttercream -- yum!

 

Again, a full Planning Thread for my AHR will be up closer to August!

 

HUGE HUGS AND THANKS to EVERYONE here on the most amazing wedding forum out there -- I honestly couldn't have done it without you all!

 

Now, here we come, JAMAICA!!!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
