Oh Happy Day!

So excited to be featured on Style Me Pretty today!  What a great christmas gift for Birds of a Feather Events!  This means so much to me, not only on a professional level, but personal as well since it is my own wedding.  I hope to have many more weddings featured with them in the future!

Baby Boy Enriquez

Baby Boy Enriquez's first name will be all hush hush until his arrival next year, but we did find out that his name starts with....a J!  Let the speculation begin!

So, I found the cutest sock monkey invitation ever on Etsy and BAM, that became the shower theme.  Throw in some red and brown elements, some Toronto Maple Leafs stuff for dad, and we had a shower put together in a few short weeks!  I think it actually took longer to put all of the favors together than it did to plan the entire shower...FYI, flour is messy!  Here are some detail shots from yesterday.  No boys allowed, so Mr Tylaska had to sit this one out and hand the camera over to me.  At least they are less blurry than the last time I got a hold of it!

Enjoy...

Here Comes the Bean...

Bean is a nickname we have had for Kristina for as long as Ive known her, which is about 17 years.  She was so scrawny and gangly as a little girl...a string bean!  It's been so crazy to watch her transform from that 11 year old girl with glasses into a gorgeous woman.  Kristina planned most all of her wedding on her own, I just stepped in during the few weeks leading up to the big day to help with the last minute details and alleviate a little stress.  It was definitely a hectic afternoon during set up, but everything turned out beautifully and after so many years of dating (they are high school sweethearts) they are finally Mr and Mrs Grimm!

A few pictures Mr. Tylaska snapped right after we got the reception room set up...

And here are some shots by their photographer, Michelle Peyronet....

The saga continues on 5.27.11...

Boy, Brandi really undersold her engagement picture concepts to me when we talked about them last month.  She told me she had a few ideas, but was worried that she and TJ might look awkward in the photos.  These are some of the cutest and most original ideas Ive ever seen, not to mention they fit their personalities spot on, which is my favorite thing about anything wedding related as we all know.  And awkward?  No freakin way, they range from cutesy to sweet to down right sexy!  Great ideas guys and not to mention how super their photog Tracy Autem is!  Here is just a sampling from the shoot....
