Today’s the last day to pre-order your copy of our first print magazine! This is the only way to guarantee a copy will be in your mailbox and get it at the pre-order price (its $18–this isn’t your typical 70% ads flimsy magazine). Since this is our first foray into print we have no idea how many to make…if you pre-order a copy we’ll include yours in our count. Otherwise we’re making a conservative guess (printing isn’t cheap!) and you’ll be risking the “sold out!” banner. :) We are SO close to wrapping it up–can’t wait to show you!!!!
We were really focused on making our wedding day about us as opposed to getting wrapped up in it being our ‘wedding day’. We made sure to add personal details – a friend made two types of home brew beers with our pictures as the stickers, we had a cousin conduct the ceremony, and we let the location not be overwhelmed by too much design and elaborate decoration. I bought a lot of the decorations from Etsy, handmade some things myself and had potted plants as opposed to cut flowers. We also had a flashmob dance routine that everyone knew except my husband – so fun!! As a result, we had subtle details that made it undeniably our wedding, without feeling forced. The day seemed very natural and had a great flow as opposed to a set regimented schedule of events.
