Upcoming Events
So I'll take a break from venues for a minute (or a month!) to share with you some exciting upcoming events!
Saturday, I'm finally going to go dress shopping again! I haven't really thought too much about dresses since we went back in May. That was a bit to early to make any real decisions, but I do think that it was helpful in giving me a much better sense of what I'm looking for (still like strapless; prefer cream, champagne, or ivory to a bright white; and I have much more traditional taste in dresses than I would have thought). This week, we'll be headed to Hitched in Georgetown (http://www.hitchedsalon.com/) which is one of the bridal shops I've wanted to check out since day one... so I'll keep you updated on that!
Columbus Day Weekend, we're going to be headed back down to Savannah to get our engagement photos done (finally!) and make some more concrete decisions about venues, caterers, and the general vision (hopefully!) I'm so excited that both of our mothers will be joining us, and that this time we'll all be staying in a very cute Bed and Breakfast right in the heart of Savannah. My dad stayed at the Columbia Square Inn for our last visit, and you really can't beat the price, the location, and particularly the hostess Barbara.
We've got some delicious tastings scheduled and I can't wait to eat our way through Savannah! Just thank gosh the pictures are the first day, pre-foodbabies! I've also finally made a little bit of progress with the four outfits I'll be picking out for our photos (two for me to wear, two for him that match my two... come on, we all know that's how it works, and Courtney will look handsome in anything anyways). Here's a sneak peak at my dress for the more formal pairing!
Last but not least, October 1st is quickly approaching... and you all know what that means: We will finally have a definite date set for the wedding!

That Just Won't Do!
Luckily there were a few venues that we were able to eliminate right off the bat... as in, before even going through with our official appointment.
The first was Bryson Hall. Although beautifully located on Chippewa Square, did not match up with my interior decorating preferences/left much to be desired/looked like maybe it had 'peaked' around the time I was born. There are few pictures out there, and the ones that I could find were very small... probably for a reason.
Our visit was not however -- Rachel and I were able to sneak into the 'ladies lounge' for some fun pictures.
The second 'no go' was for entirely different reasons. The Mackey House is beautiful... absolutely gorgeous, and the closest to what we envisioned when we said we wanted an outdoor reception. The problem? It's about 30 minutes outside of Historic Savannah, and it would really only make sense to use it if we were doing the wedding ceremony there as well. If we're not going to be in downtown Savannah anyways, why go through all the work of planning a (semi)-destination wedding when we could just have it in one of the many beautiful mansions surrounding D.C.?
Beautifully lit up for an evening wedding.
And it did serve as another Photo Op! Rachel and I on the from steps
