So…i completely misplaced my little G11 point and shoot that I had Melissa walking around with during Grand Opening. Found it this morning so FINALLY i can share a few pics!

First off – thank you thank you thank you to the MAAAAAAANY people that came out. I’d love to list your name here and thank you but there were so many and I’d probably leave off a name. So please except this less appropriate blanket-thank-you. We truly felt the love and support on Sunday. Kelli (make-up), Leanna (hair), Meagan (wardrobe) and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts:)

A couple quick and BIG thank yous go out to some absolutely amazing vendors we work with.

That food all of you were swooning over…it’s all Kathleen’s doing. She’s the owner of Katalina’s (on our street about a block down) and Katalina’s Catering and she’s super skilled at providing knock-your-socks-off catering. The look and feel was super important to us. She over-delivered. Thanks Kathleen:) Now just imagine a brunch with your bridesmaids on your wedding day…or rehearsal dinner…or birthday party…or baby shower…or backyard wedding… She’s your woman. Amazing cook.

ALL floral arrangements were from FRESH in Grandview. We love our friends at FRESH. Actually we adore them. Cory and Trace are top talent. TOP. But of course we wouldn’t be working with them if they weren’t:) Brides, if you want the most amazing custom floral designs for your wedding, these are your people. Tell them I sent you!

Also, so many of you keep asking about that amazing wall mural. All credit goes to a familiar studio face – Corey Rauh. He’s my second shooter for almost every wedding this year. And if you ask nicely, I’ll send you his info so he can paint you an insanely amazing wall mural in your home or your little one’s nursery.

A few I took at the start…

(ps – kelli and her friend rocked out this handmade chandelier a couple days before grand opening! All the sticks were from FRESH and everything was spray painted)

Of course I would completely forget to recruit one of my amazing photo friends to cover the open house :/ I should have thought of it. But thanks a million Melissa for taking these:)
