I am new to Weddingbee and it makes me so sad! Why sad, you ask? Well, it is because I did not discover this amazing resource until AFTER my May wedding. This would have been such a great help during my planning process. But...since I did not have the benefit of the bee, I ended up doing everything (well, mostly everything) the hard way. Hours of research, incessant polling of family and friends and a lot of DIY to cut costs and control quality. And while all that left me frazzled, it did produce a wonderful wedding day (if I do say so myself). And now, here I am, a Mrs. of 6 weeks, and I am missing my wedding planning days.
I was married right outside Boulder, Colorado and planned the whole thing from Los Angeles. I planned for about 17 months and feel like I have so much to share (which is the reason for this post). If any of you CO brides are looking for some help/suggestions/support as you plan your weddings, I would love to be of service. I researched what feels like every vendor in CO and since we were on a budget, I did my best to keep costs down. I would be happy to assist with your big day...in an attempt to relive mine. :)
I'd love any advice you can give me. My fiance and I are both from New Orleans and recently moved to Denver. We're planning our wedding in Estes Park at the end of April 2009. I'm heavy into researching photographers, DJs, bakers, florists, pretty much any vendor you can imagine (outside of venue and catering because we plan to have our ceremony & reception at the Stanley Hotel, and they do the catering there). Honestly, the site cost will probably end up being a decent chunk of our budget, so your comment about "keeping costs down" definitely appealed to me. We're paying for the wedding ourselves, so cost is very much a concern. If you'd prefer to email me directly, my email is LoralieNOLA (at) gmail.com
