Love at First Sight!

Brittany Cascio with Cascio Photography (www.casciophotography.com) was the FIRST vendor I booked for our wedding. It was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! I have followed her work for a while now and decided she was the one for me! I love her unique style and attention to detail. It was has been fun and exciting to work with her so far and can't wait for the wedding day!

Here are a few of the engagement pictures she took for Jared and me!

(You may have already seen some of them on www.utahbrideblog.com a few weeks ago)

Jared is a HUGE baseball fan so I thought it would be really fun to take some pictures at Spring Mobile Park in Salt Lake City. We loved how they turned out!

The picture above was taken at the Zollinger Fruit Farms in Providence, Utah (my hometown.:))

The pictures above were taken at a campground/amphitheater up Logan canyon. You would have no idea that we were being swarmed by mosquitoes. I've never seen so many of those stinkin' things in my life. I came away with over 20 bites.

These pictures were taken at the beautiful first dam at the mouth of Logan canyon. I used to feed the ducks at this dam with my Grandpa when I was younger so this was a sentimental location for me.

If you are looking for a photographer or just want to see more of Brittany's work go to her website. www.casciophotography.com or call her at 435-752-0652.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE HER!!

Melissa's Wedding Reception (2nd Post)

I know I have already posted pictures from this wedding but I got the professional pictures from the Bride (Melissa) and had to re-post this wedding. What a gorgeous bride!!

This bouquet is definitely one of my favorites from this summer. The color of that succulent is awesome!

Our wedding engagement video

Today I want to feature my awesome videographer for my wedding. Jared (my fiance) and I decided to do some engagement pictures at Spring Mobile Park in Salt Lake City. We had both our photographer (Brittany Cascio with Cascio photography) and videographer (Taylor Ballam with Ballam Films) along for the ride. Taylor was a blast to work with and had some really fun ideas. He captured some moments that I absolutely love! You'll see what I'm talking about once you watch the video. :)

Making Progress

Here are a few things we're working on for the BIG day. These little flowers are a little bit more time consuming than I thought they'd be... luckily I only have 40 more to make. :)

Chargers are at least $2.00 regular price so when I was at Michaels and saw that they were having a 1 day sale on chargers I loaded up (no brainer). We spend anywhere from $.01 to $.99 cents per charger. Most of them were Easter colors so we had to spray them gold. We saved a lot of money and with the help of my niece and nephew (Norah and Boston) we whipped this project out in 1 day!

Now, on to the next project (they seem to never end).

Lisa's Red Butte Garden Wedding

I'm obviously not a photographer... I took these pictures with my i-phone so let's just pretend they're professional. Lisa's wedding took place at the always beautiful Red Butte Garden.

Congratulations Lisa!

Engaged!!!

Most of you who know me know that I got engaged to Jared Dabling about a month ago. Pretty exciting! People always ask me if I've had my wedding planned out for years since I'm in the wedding industry and see so many fun and beautiful ideas. That's exactly the reason why I didn't have my wedding planned out before I got engaged. Weddings, style and decorations are continually changing which means I get to see and arrange new things all the time. Once we decided on a wedding date I started pulling in ideas from all sorts of places. I'm doing a fall wedding and want to make it feel fall-ish without feeling too rustic. I've got a lot of fun things planned and can't wait to see it all come together! I'm going to start posting my progress step by step. I'm excited to get feedback and any thoughts that my readers have. :)

We are getting married in the beautiful Bountiful, Utah temple on September 24th 2011.

We decided that we wanted to do something a little bit smaller and forgo the reception and do a smaller dinner for family and close friends. We chose The Point Restaurant and Reception Center which serves as a restaurant during the day and transforms into a beautiful wedding venue at night. If you've read my blog in the past you've seen many pictures of The Point. I've designed flowers for quite a few weddings up there.

I'm working with some awesome vendors and will spotlight them in the next few weeks. I'll also show you some pictures of the things I've been working on. I'm so excited!
