So you know how I went on a rant about how Southern Season was so awesome because it included everything and was going to save us so much money if we chose it for our reception? Much to our surprise after doing a few calculations, the NC Botanical Gardens came out on top. Impossible! Right? Who? What? Where? When? How? (We were both secretly soooo excited because we loved NCBG)
Food is how. Looking at other catering possibilities for a casual BBQ buffet, it looks like we can save at the Botanical Gardens. Let's also not forget that the quality and style of BBQ are important. No self-respecting Eastern North Carolinian would let just any pork show up at her wedding. Blasphemy. Despite spending more on chairs, tables, linens, etc, it's far outweighed by saving on food. So, while also very stressful, number crunching turned out to be delightfully surprising.
What else? Ah yes, photography. We met with our first photographer yesterday. Kelly Martin has some great packages though and it was fun to meet with her and start to envision what we might do with the photos that are going to last us a lifetime :)
For future posting: Kim has become the paper craft guru - I'm going to let her share about save the dates, invitations and envelopes, oh my! I'm not quite sure what my wedding craft specialty is yet, but she's certainly on top of her game. Let's not forget about flowers, centerpieces, bouquets, dresses, linens and other decor!
Adios for now muchachos!
