It’s officially 7 months and 5 days until my wedding, and my family is finally ready to make headway on putting down deposits on vendors and services.  Unfortunately, my grandmother had a stroke in October, and that put the planning process on hold.

I am excited to say that Nick and I will be married on Sunday, July 10, 2011 at the DoubleTree Hotel in Santa Ana, and I’m going to share a few photos with you!

This is the gorgeous Champagne Ballroom, I especially love the carpet, the high ceilings, and the chandeliers.

My ballroom

And this is the pre-function area, where h’ordeuvres and drinks (non-alcoholic, Muslims don’t drink) will be served for the evening.  I am so excited for this, it’s gorgeous!

I’m thinking about having cocktail rounds placed around here and a special surprise here as well 🙂

This is another portion of the pre-function area where we will likely have the appetizers and fruit platters placed:

I am beyond excited to have found this place, it is really beautiful and a perfect place to host my wedding. What I like about it most is it has sort of a French flair to it.  I’ll take photos of the lobby furniture next time I visit.  I hope they let my guests have use of it.  The entry way is breathtaking, and I want my guests to be wowed from the moment they step foot into my wedding.  Also, for my guests, my family is providing valet parking, so yay for that 🙂

Alright, since wedding planning is in full-swing, I will keep you posted on my every move and thought when it comes down to it.  I don’t want my family to spend a fortune on this day, but I want it to be incredibly beautiful.

Next on the list:
-finalizing my florist
-interviewing photographers
-bridesmaids dresses
-groomsmen tux discount deals
-makeup and hair
-save the dates
-invitations
…. and so many other things that I just cannot bare to list them here!

Bookmark me, I’m excited to share the planning process and you can be sure to see many, many posts from me about the planning process!

XOXO,
Future Mrs. Trajcevska
