plan a modern wedding in the middle of the country

So, remember back when I was trying to figure out what our “favor” could be? Well, the original thought was to incorporate some sort of eco-friendly element into it, but it just seemed contradictory to give away a favor and have it be “green.”

And, all of you wonderful readers shared with me your thoughts on what we could do. So, first and foremost we fully plan on purchasing carbon offsets to make up for the ecological impact our wedding will have. Several past bees have gone this route, helping to invest in renewable energy, reforestation and energy efficiency.

In conjunction with our carbon offset purchasing, we went on the hunt for something fun for our guests. The obvious choice? A photobooth, of course.

The Pilot just wanted a photobooth, so I did the work of finding a company we liked. There are quite a few photobooth companies in St. Louis, all of which I have heard do a great job, but I quickly fell in love with the work (and the actual booth – it’s a great sleek and modern one) from CI Photobooth.

The owners are fantastic, but they also offer a several options to make your event fun. You can pick from their backdrop collection, have them supply fun props for your guests, and they’ll even use a custom logo/design for your prints. Plus you’ll get a DVD of all the photos from the event – which I puffy heart. And, that’s not even all of it!

Did you book a photobooth for your wedding or are you creating a “fauxtobooth?”

You know, the one I talked about in this post yesterday?

So, of course I couldn’t brag about this awesome, little gem, because NO ONE had pictures on it anywhere online (sad trombone).

In true fashion, another one of my awesome vendors, sends me a picture of the sculpture, as she took a picture of it herself when she was setting up for one of her first events at WOW.  She managed to sneak in the chandelier into the photo, and of course I had to share it with you all.

It isn’t a huge chandelier, but 1. It’s red, 2. It’s a Chihuly, and 3. I like it. A lot.

Thanks, Cheri, if CI Photobooth for sending over that picture! You (and your photobooths) rock!
