They seem so charming and relaxed. It might help that they are beautifully designed and detailed (probably not, though ;) ). I initially was determined to have my outdoors, non-conventional location wedding, not only for looks, but for cost savings. As we all know, that mentioning the word wedding doubles any price estimate (2 tiered cake = $500, 2 tiered wedding cake= $1200, rent a venue= $600/4 hr., rent a wedding venue= $1000/4 hr. Maybe brides are twice as much of a pain to deal with...). I thought/hoped that booking a place that was not a "wedding" venue, or having a backyard wedding , would save big bucks, so we could spend more on fun things, like my dress, or open bar, or my dress, or the honeymoon, or my dress. And in theory we could. It would mean serious amounts of planning, and gathering, and stockpiling to have the seats and the tables and the catering all arranged for such an off-beat place. While I can optimistically say that I could handle that, the problem is I live across the country so would have to haul my tush and my wedding stockpile across the country just to get it there. Plus I would have to stockpile in a NYC apartment. Back to the drawing board.
So blog chic is out, but I still wanted non-conventional, not least of all because I'm an atheist (or failed Catholic as my mother says), as is Ben, and a church is not an option. Since outdoor/park/home venue was eliminated by the amount of bargain hunting and storing OR the cost and hassle party rentals, I wanted to find a place that would be totally equipped, not too costly, and still pretty unique. It seems like a tall order, but the solution was pretty easy: cool restaurant.
So now the problem was finding a great location with amazing (vegan) food, from halfway across the country. Piece of cake, right?
