Today Jeff and I went to check out the Bridal Expo at the Perthshire in Amsterdam, NY. Although the upstate winter has taken its hold of the grounds with a grey bitterness and a layer of crunchy snow and frost, I was excited imagining the possibilities that nature has in store for Autumn here. I can picture the pond rippling in the breeze under the bridge, the fountain bubbling with water and the trees ripe with colored leaves scattered about. There was plenty of parking, a patio room in the process of renovation, and a nice set up inside for tables and plenty of room for dancing. The packages include florals and linens, and a wedding cake, which makes it less overwhelming to select additional vendors. I just get to pick colors and arrangements, and that's the fun part anyway.
Yup, we signed the contract with our down payment to secure our date: October 20, 2012 with an 11:30am ceremony and 12-5pm reception to follow!
Selecting and customizing our specific package and deciding on the details will be a work in progress. Coming home and weighing out package options and multiplying out the per person price plus gratuity and tax---well, that makes it feel real. Ouch! Lol. We will get there, and I know it will be beautiful.
