Vintage Photo Shoot
The awesome Yuriy Manchik (Seattle based photographer who happens to attend Mars Hill church) and his gorgeous fiance had a vintage photoshoot which I think is rather cool.

A visit to Waiau
This afternoon we made a trip out to Waiau Estate - the venue for the wedding. I am reminded again how stunningly beautiful it is there. And always so still - the massive surrounding hedge seems to block any wind - which is nice, although a cool breeze would be a relief on a hot day.
There are so many decisions to make! What way should the ceremony face, what should we use to mark the aisle - on the ground and on the inside chairs, what should we use as an 'alter' - a dresser? the mantelpiece we painted? just a simple table?, how will we set up the photos we want to print and put in frames to give guests a better idea of who we are (we are aware that a lot of guests may barely know either of us), where should our big WEDDING signs go, is it too much to have props around the place to give it a personal feel, what should our menus look like, what should we use the chalkboard for - seeming as writing the menu isn't as practical as I initially thought...
Hmm!
So, back to the drawing board. I haven't done any research for AGES! It's both inspiring... and demoralising..
White petals make a nice aisle. Natural - so will disintegrate, but squashed petals isn't such a nice thought. I can imagine trying to walk really lightly over them to avoid damage. Is that stupid? And where does one get tons of rose petals from?
An alternative way to use the chalkboards we painted. Perhaps one can have a list of the available juices, wines, beers and coffees.
That's enough for today.

A plain white aisle runner. A cute dressing table.
Also, this photo is nice. I would like to return to the ceremony area with the boy after everyone has moved into the reception area for canapes. Stunning dress, i love the fullness in the bodice..

I like the ribbon. I don't know how it would actually work, but the idea of the ushers untying the ribbon just before the bridal party arrive is cute. I think people would get annoyed that there is a ribbon blocking their way to the seats..
That's enough for today.
