Ok, so I just opened my email and I had an email from a Sandal Company in Florida.  So of course I thought sandals, yeah how could they be different.

Then I saw them and were blown away.  These sandals really are the Coolest Wedding Sandals ever because you can actually personalize the sole of the sandal with the brides name and wedding date or the couples name and wedding date.  And they are really cute. 

Now I will say that they definitely are only for women because the thong strap is patent leater but, hey it might be a guy out there that wants to wear them.

The website is Sandals 4 Events. 

The other cool thing is that these sandals have been endorsed by Samanta Goldberg, who is a wedding planner on “Whose Wedding is it Anyway”  So that means that if you do decided to get them then you are using something that the brides on “Whose Wedding is it Anyway”. 

YEAH THAT’S HOT!!!

Happy Planning,

Shafonne

 

This week the Mile High City, Denver, CO, hosted the Democrat National Convention, so I thought we’d scope out a venue in the Denver area for your upcoming wedding. Don’t worry—we’ll head to Minneapolis-St. Paul to give equal time to the Republican National Convention. I’m a bi-partisan blogger!

Personally, I love Colorado. It’s graced by the Rocky Mountains and has some gorgeous locations to be married. LaPorte, CO, is about 60 miles from Denver, and it’s home to Tapestry House—an absolutely lovely place to tie the knot. The Tapestry House is “an elegantly handcrafted Victorian country manor set on a stunning five-acre setting of lawns, flower gardens, a meandering creek and majestic old-growth trees.”

Your wedding ceremony can be held in the lovely gazebo set under towering trees. Small wedding ceremonies and receptions may be held inside the Tapestry House or in the Reception Pavilion. You’ll have a fabulous spot for a larger reception in the Pavilion—open to views of the gardens and covered with twinkling lights. The Tapestry House can handle weddings from 10 guests to 225. Their prices depend on the number of guests and the day of the week you want to marry. The Tapestry House is also available for overnight rental and sleeps 12 guests in 6 bedrooms, and if you choose to get married in January, February or March, they offer overnight rental of the Tapestry House for up to 12 guests for no charge.

Summer or winter, the location provides some beautiful spots for photographs, so your wedding album should be spectacular. The gardens and the house itself, which is wonderfully decorated during the winter holidays, are full of romantic photo opportunities! That’s why I nominate Tapestry House as one of the best places in Denver for you and your “running mate” to begin your term in marriage!

I do declare! This is about the luveliest place Ah’ve seen to get mahrried in a whaal! Wow. I never realized how hard it is to write a southern accent, even though I hear it on a daily basis. But I digress. If you’re a Gone with the Wind fan, or your honey is a civil war buff, you just might take to the idea of having your ceremony and reception on a real southern plantation. Spending time at the Houmas House Plantation, known as “the Crown Jewel of the Louisiana River Road,” will have you speaking like Scarlett in minutes. Talk about harking back to another age, a gentler time and place, this 38-acre plantation in Darrow, LA, not far from New Orleans (one of my favorite cities!) dates back to 1825, when the daughter of a Revolutionary War general developed the property her daddy had bought. Legend has it, you may run into a ghost or two here!

Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte and other movies have been filmed here, and a number of companies, like Budweiser, have filmed commercials on the plantation. The 16-room mansion, called “The Sugar Palace” is filled with period antiques and Louisiana artwork. The grounds and gorgeous gardens are a glorious setting for a wedding. Your guests will love staying amid the excitement and activities New Orleans has to offer, and they’ll be charmed out of their britches when you bring them to the splendor of this location for your vows and reception.

How much fun would it be to dress your bridesmaids like southern belles and your groomsmen like antebellum gentlemen! I declare, you’d have youah guests talkin’ for days and days! (Sorry, it’s a hard habit to break…) Your wedding photo album would be a real showpiece, filled with colorful images of an extraordinary day. As wedding themes go, this one’s a real doozy! You have to promise me, though—if you do have your wedding at the plantation and run into a ghost, you have to let us here at My Wedding Hero know! Talk about weird wedding crashers! If Ah were you, Ah’d just invite ‘em to partake of youah sumptuous weddin’ meal, a mint julep or two and dance ’til the cows come home!
