how to plan a wedding in 10 days!

Day 5 & 6: Caterer + Make-up Artist Attempt #3

We met the catering company finally and were able to look at their selection of linens. You can pick as many as you want to and it all comes included in the price! Woo hoo! We were also given a delicious selection of chocolate desserts to nibble on as we chose, these people truly know the way to my heart! And to even further excite me, that Krembo dessert I was talking about last post is on the menu! YUMMY!
Here is an example of the linen colours we selected:

And finally...finally...after another make-up artist cancellation at the last possible second (that makes 2 out of our 3 scheduled appointments) , an extremely talented and lovely woman by the name of Sigal Grushka (http://sg.form.co.il/), agreed to take us on at the end of her horribly busy day and thank goodness that she did because not only were we completely out of time, BUT she gave me a cheek worthy of Vogue magazine! I'm in love. I can't believe I have to wait another 9 months to have my Vogue cheek back!

Seriously...look at my vogue cheek!

Day 1: Book Venue and Make-up Trial #1

Success! Our venue is beautiful! I'm stunned by the greenness of the grass, the blue sea and sky and the gardens all around us! This venue almost doesn't need any decoration....but I'll add some just because I'm me! Wow we are stunned and excited...gigantic check mark for task number one done well! We feel such relief.
Here are some pics of the venue the way it looks empty and picture of a recent wedding they had there. So beautiful!
Went to the first make-up trial and every fear came true! Big, huge failure for task number two. I'm slightly embarrassed to put the picture up but it is just too funny not to. Its provided much comic relief for fellow Joelle and Melanie Bloomer. Gotta say its not quite the natural, beachy look I had envisioned. And who said anything about putting blue under the eyes?!! You really need to click on the picture so it gets really big and you can have the full magnitude of sparkliness!

And this is after I asked for the blue to be removed. Such a beautiful bride...

Until next time...shalom from the Holy Land!
