wedding vendors, continued

Last, but not least, our fabulous florist was Tara Bella Flowers. I could not have been more happy with the flowers - SO gorgeous and exactly what I had in mind. And Tara, the owner, is such a joy - easy-going, friendly, professional, put up with my mom... I really enjoyed getting to know her. Tara also works at a restaurant that we love so I am looking forward to running into her again soon.

This is the post where I am going to take a moment to give a shout-out (did I just say that?) to all the vendors who made my wedding run so seamlessly.

First of all, if you're getting married in Sun Valley and need a wedding planner, look up Amanda Seaward/Absolute Weddings. Amanda is extremely organized and asks all the right questions. She's great at her job, and a good friend.

Our photographer - Dev Khalsa - is also a friend of ours, and did an amazing job with our photos. One friend commented that our weddings pics looked just like a magazine spread... and they totally do.


Look how much fun they're having! Obviously our wedding reception was pretty much the best party ever!

Our Save-the-Date cards were designed by Leslie at Unless Someone Like You. I freaking LOVED what she did for us. She was so responsive, creative, and easy to work with. I wish I had other reasons to hire her. Like, I might start a band just so she could design a poster for us.


Laura Hooper Calligraphy designed and printed these adorable little maps for us - we put them in the gift bags for our guests and everyone loved them. The back of the card had a schedule of events on it.
Laura also did some calligraphy work for us which also turned out just great. She's been featured in lots of mags like Town & Country Weddings, In Style Weddings, and tons of stylish wedding-related blogs. She was also very quick to respond to emails and was a breeze to work with. Love!

I'm going to have to do the florist in a separate post, because it is too much of a pain to add multiple photos in Blogger. Hold, please!

Wolves in the Backyard

The wolves in our area are getting bold! Kind of scary.

This cool footage was filmed by Plum TV in a neighborhood just south of town. A black wolf takes a little break from eating a dead elk to jump a fence into someone's backyard and tangle with some local dogs (don't worry - no one gets hurt).



On March 6, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar affirmed the decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove the gray wolf from the endangered species list in all states with the exception of Wyoming. It is estimated that there are 1,600 wolves in the U.S. Rockies.
