Planning for our big day
October 2010 Tristate Knottie GTG!! 1/23/2010
Our second tristate get together was amazing!!! Annie from the knot put together such an amazing day for us...
We first met at the Plaza, where we got a tour of the Palm Court, a few bridal gown shops and a jewelery store. After, we had tea and sweets at Demel Cafe, where Annie gave us goody bags (had the regional and national Knot magazines, a wedding checklist book, a groom-to-be book and a bridesmaid guide handbook.) Annie had a professional photographer and videographer follow us around so we took some fun shots and of course the infamous ring shot. We were all also interviewed for the knot tv (should be posted in a few months) and pictures taken for the knot magazine.
Afterwards, we went to Flute (a champagne bar) where we toasted, had some appetizers and ate some yummy wedding cake. We all then said goodbye after a long day together. Until next time ladies!!!!!
