YellowBird Wedding

because simple is beautiful

Saturday April 21st was a very special day for me. I was able to marry my dad’s best friend for the last 50 years (!) to his life partner Paul! They were two of the most handsome gentlemen I’ve ever seen and my dad looked quite dapper as the best man. They were married in a friend’s gorgeous home in Buffalo, and walked to their alter to my best friend singing At Last. After a wonderful ceremony, they danced in front of their friends to Amazed, as everyone tried not to cry all over themselves. I love you Bob and Paul and I wish you nothing but happiness and bowling in your future! Congratulations!!!

Bob and my dad!!! So adorable!

On Saturday April 7th I was fortunate enough to marry Bethany & Tyler, a couple that 20 minutes after meeting , I knew belonged together. They were married at Artisan Works in Rochester, which happens to be one of the coolest places I’ve ever been in New York State! With the boys all in Converse sneakers and the girls wearing ear to ear smiles, it was a beautiful, happy day full of tears and laughter. Thank you Bethany and Tyler for sharing your big day with me!!! Best wishes to both of you.

And some photos from Artisan Works!

If one St. Patrick’s Day wedding wasn’t amazing enough, two was the cat’s pajamas! The International Institute proved a perfect spot for a yellow school bus to pull up and drop of Erica, Jason and their party. A beautiful couple, Jason and Erica wrote their own vows that almost brought me to tears! A ceremony full of laughter and tears, I feel so lucky that I was able to be a part of it and share in the excitement of such an amazing couple. Congratulations Erica & Jason. I wish you guys nothing but the best. You both deserve it!!!

If you think St. Patrick’s Day is your favorite holiday, there’s a slight chance you don’t love it as much as Amy & Karin. A gorgeous day for an outdoor wedding, Amy and Karin showed up at Niagara Falls in green Boston Red Sox jerseys, beads, and striped green knee socks! They were smiling and adorable and ready to be wed in the sunshine. Congratulations to them both and best wishes for a long happy life together and many more St. Patrick’s Days to come!!!

A green wedding is any wedding where the couple tries to decrease the impact of their event on the planet – and there are many ways to do it without sacrificing style or elegance!

Ok. Your wedding day is approaching. That one big day you’ve been saving for that you want to be perfect and memorable. The only thing is, you want it to be memorable because it was beautiful, not because it’s the day that you spent your entire life savings.
Here are a couple tips that should help guide you on how to have a killer wedding, without wanting to die afterwards.

A few quick tips:
1. Make sure both of you have the same priorities – being on the same page makes all the difference.
2. Limit the guest list – it’s tough, but possible.
3. Cuisine Costs – think about a buffet!
4. Location!!! We all want a palace, but beauty can be found in lots of different places.
5. Attire – you can fall in love with a dress from a department store just as easily as a boutique. I know you can!
6. Decorations – think about a place that is already decorated like a public garden or museum. Or, think about doing your own flowers.
7. Invitations – grab a DIY book and not only save, but make your invites more your style.
8. Music – bands are great, but DJ’s might be less expensive. Shop around!
9. Photography – holy smokes this can be expensive! Having wonderful pictures are a must, but search different packages. Maybe you don’t need 4000 pictures of your big day. I mean really, you only need a couple gems for the wall.
10. Bar Service – don’t worry, people can get that happy feeling with two hours of open bar instead of five.
