Desiree's Wedding

Some bride's are meant to be in a magazine and Desiree is one of them. Just look at her! This lovely affair took place at Noah's in South Jordan. I loved so many things about this wedding. 1st of all the flower choices but also the cake from Granite Bakery and Bridal. That was one amazing cake! Bride's bouquet included succulents, tight green hydrangea, white freesia, cymbidium orchids, dahlias and twigs.

Are you kidding me?!? Talk about a model!

Our Wedding Video

Jared and Kelli from Ballam Films on Vimeo.

Taylor with Ballam Films did it again! Most of you saw our baseball engagement video. We loved the way it turned out and knew that our "day of" wedding video would be just as great. He captured so many special moments. This video made me cry and laugh my head off all at the same time. You'll know what I mean when you watch my nephews fighting over the garter and my brother and brother-in-law throwing out coke to the crowd. Wow! Hilarious! It was so fun to watch this and remember how amazing our wedding day was. I wish I could re-live it all over again. If you're getting married and want an awesome videographer you have to call Taylor!!!

Little White Chapel

Ashley's wedding took place this past April. She is such and doll and gorgeous as you'll see in her pictures. I love the picture above with the capitol behind the blossoming branches. I wish I could skip winter and go straight to spring.

Wow, great picture!

Circus roses are one of my favorite roses. It reminds me of a Utah sunset... love it!

This picture is fantastic. I'm sure this isn't an exaggeration. Weddings will wear you right out. :)

Fabulous cake by Granite Bakery and Bridal.

Laughing Gravy

For those of you who have been following my blog I got married September 24th. It was the most perfect day! I couldn't have asked for anything more perfect. I can't wait to share photos with you but I can't do that just yet. Brittany with Cascio Photography gave me a sneak peak and so far I LOVE what I've seen!

Today I wanted to feature another one of my extremely talented and super funny vendors and that is Durven with Laughing Gravy. Durven has been a longtime friend of mine. We met several years ago at a wedding we both worked on. That was the first time I witnessed him D.J. a wedding and I knew that someday he would be my D.J. too. Durven did not let me down. My wedding dinner/party was so much fun and he is a huge reason for that. He got the party started and even got people who don't like to dance out there on the dance floor. It was a riot! Several family members and friends mentioned that he was the best D.J. they've ever seen at a wedding and I couldn't agree more.

Anyone interested in a D.J. for any occasion needs to check out Laughing Gravy!!! You won't be disappointed. Thanks Durven!

Here is the link to his website and his contact information.

Granite Bakery and Bridal

Today I wanted to feature the FABULOUS Granite Bakery and Bridal. I have chosen this bakery to design my wedding cake for my wedding (which is in 10 days!!). I'm not going to post a picture of my cake (because it's a surprise), but I did want to post a few pictures of some of their recent work.

To contact Granite Bakery and Bridal call: 801-483-2253 or visit their website: www.granitebridal.com. Walk-ins are also welcome.

(they do free taste testings and let me tell you, their cakes are delicious!!!)

Not only do they design wedding cakes, but they also make specialty cakes for birthdays, anniversaries and yes, the groom himself. The cakes below are "groom's cakes". Talk about some talented decorators!!

Trina's Solitude Mountain Resort Wedding

Happy Friday!

My first wedding at Solitude Mountain Resort was a success! The wedding ceremony was held outside facing the beautiful mountains and the dinner was inside at the quaint Kimi's Bistro. I couldn't get over how breathtaking my surroundings were. I loved the color and flower choices for this wedding. I was so happy with the outcome.

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!!
