asking for help

HELLLLLOOOOOO!

Long time no write, eh? Well I'm back with a very short and sweet update on all things zarzpao wedding!


Remember how I said we weren't going to ask for help and that were going to pull off this DIY-filled wedding all by ourselves. Well, I caved. We have enlisted the help of some uber-talented friends of mine - Enjoy Events Co. and holy moly, I couldn't be happier! The ladies of Enjoy Events Co, Megan & Emily, are beyond talented and are going to help us take all of our crazy ideas and turn them into one cohesive design plan. In addition to helping with the overall design they will be helping to create some hand-made and DIY elements leading up to the big day. AND, they will be there to help on the day of which means me, zpao, and our families won't have to be stressed out. Have I mentioned how amazing Megan & Emily are? And can we talk about their website? It's the most fab thing I have ever seen. Check it out for yourself: http://www.enjoyeventsco.com/

So do I feel bad that I swore up and down that I could do this all by myself and now I'm singing a different tune? By golly, no! In fact, I feel better than ever. If there's anything I've learned from working in the wedding industry (even if it's only been 4 short months...) it's hiring amazing vendors is money well spent. I need help with all of these hand-crafted pieces that I'm planning. And my brain is swimming in so many wedding industry thoughts all day that sometimes it's hard to take a step back from my clients' weddings and upcoming photo shoots and look at my own wedding. In short, I need a fresh pair of eyes (or in this case two pairs!)

Ok, enough blabbing (so much for short & sweet, right?), let's get in to some pictures!!! Here are some pictures from styled shoots that Enjoy Events Co. has designed/coordinated.  The first shoot is pretty near and dear to me because they used some of my One True Love Vintage Rentals pieces! It was also featured on Ruffled blog, which was beyond exciting to see my pieces on a blog that I love so much!

Ok, so there's a brief recap on the wedding! I have lots more to share so hopefully I'll get a chance to update you on even more happenings this weekend! With only 4 months to go (ZOMGHOWISTHATEVENPOSSIBLE!?!) planning/prepping is really starting to pick up!
