SO EXCITING!!!


I am going to meet Christa B for the first time on November 7th!

She’s the designer who will be making my wedding dress.

For as long as I can remember, I have dreamed of a Christa B wedding gown. Its still a little unbelievable to me that I am actually going to get my wish!

We’ve been chatting on email about what I like and don’t like, and we will actually only start doing fittings and such next year January, but we are going to meet face to face to start chatting.

I am SO excited!!!

Visiting Wedding Venues: Garden World

The stairs leading to the outdoor chapel area on the roof the indoor reception venue

some of the gardens
We did not intentionally stop at Garden World to view it as a potential venue. We stopped there for lunch after viewing a few others, and as with every other venue we’ve seen since the beginning of September, they were setting up for a wedding.
Naturally, I took the opportunity to look around and take some pictures.
It’s very pretty once you’re inside and it’s great if you’re on a tight budget.
Being inside a nursery means they have lovely gardens with water features and interesting “things” stuck away in amongst the shrubbery like old wagon wheels and a John Deere tractor. These provide ample photo opportunities of course.
