HERE COMES THE BRIDE...

and the bride is none other than my amazing little sister Angela! I can't believe her prince in shining armor, Jon, is here to take her away - literally - for she will be moving out of state after they get married. I'm still in denial and not happy about that part.

But there are plenty of other things that are bringing a big smile to my face these days! I've been officially appointed to be Angela's "J-LO" and design several aspects for their big day. It's been my little, I mean BIG, labor of love that has taken over my life. But in a good way. Angela, my mom, and I have had the most fun together thus far!

So can you imagine all the anticipation surrounding this event?! I'm going to go on record here and say that their wedding day will be the-wedding-of-the- year!!!

We're talking Four Seasons. We're talking custom everything. We're talking amazing eye candy and fresh ideas that are far from typical or anything that is played out in the wedding scene. We're talking fabulous in every way.

Of course we all recognize that their temple marriage is the most important aspect of this joyous occasion, but unless you opt out for not even having a wedding reception at all, then the ways of the world have to creep their way into the day somehow. So, if you're going to have one, why not make a fuss and celebrate a day that this girl has been dreaming about since she was 5 years old?!

And since this soirée has pretty much consumed the life of Suzanne, you can bet that there will be some blogging installments (NYC style - and yes more of those will come soon too) to account for what on earth I have been doing for many, many moons now.

So with no further ado, above is an unveiling of the bride to be in a photo that will still leave much to the imagination for the big day! Her photographer flew down last weekend to take the engagement and bridal photos. On the bridal shoot day, I was in charge of lifting the train of her dress up off of the floor numerous times as she gallivanted around the Four Seasons. Talk about exhausting! And can I add that Angela looked SO AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL?!?!? She was gorgeous in every way, and looked like a model straight out of a Vera Wang ad, no joke. Well after her "official" shoot was over, we had some fun just playing around with my camera and had an "unofficial" shoot - what fun!

Stay tuned for more future wedding installments! I know most are rolling their eyes at this point, but for my peeps who love and appreciate the details (who are probably the same ones who have actually read this entire post up until this point) , you are in for some real treats!

Next up: the 5 course meal tasting we have on Thursday! I'm not eating until then.
