Ok, I must say that I love Opie photography. Not only is she an awesome photographer but she really gets to know her clients and connects with them. It actually makes my job a lot easier, because she posts the couples’ story on her blog along with where they booked all the details for their wedding. I wish I had photographs of this, because Michael proposed in the cutest way. Opie said this about it on her blog, “Mike likes to draw. He drew a series of pictures that illustrated their sordid affair and had them bound in hardcover as childrens’ book. The last page was him, on one knee, proposing.” I have to say, Vanessa–he’s a keeper!
My favorite wedding details include:
button bouquet and button boutonniere
cookie buffet (made by mom and aunts, but you could use Dough Girl-gotta give the advertisers their plug!)
my favorite part–The Milk Bar–classic!
Bitchin’ Wedding Party Mix 2009, by Mike on iPod
oh, and as party favors, guests were able to take home cookies and milk!

Love the bouquet! My sister told me you could buy bags of buttons at the DI in Provo. She said that whenever clothing is too old to sell they strip the buttons and sell them. I tried my Dessert Industries in Salt Lake City and they didn’t have any. If anybody knows for sure let me know. I’m just trying to help!
