Hi Kristina,
I am getting close to being able to blog a few of your wedding images,
and I was just wondering if you can let me know what you created for the wedding.
I know you made all the boutonnieres, the hair adornments, the flower girl baskets…
did you also design/create the dress and ties??
the photos look great, can’t wait for you to see them…
soon

Wow! I think Kristina did a wonderful job planning her wedding, and when the day came you can see from the photos, she
relaxed and had a great time. I need to mention here 2 other vendors that made it a sucessful event:

the florist: petal pushers
the DJ: Michael Antonia, (Kristina brought him in from Los Angeles, and he was well worth the effort!)

Congratulations Kristina and Brad!
the wedding day
So the wedding day arrived and it was as wonderful as I had hoped. I have attended so many weddings, but of course watching
my own sister get married was the best. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves, but I just want to let Lynne and Tammy know
one more time how I wish for them the happiest life together. A life of love to share between themselves and with all of us who
support them as well.
I love you both! Congratulations!
