It's All About You

He's asked for your hand. You've said "Yes!" You've picked a date.  The location has been selected and your bridal party confirmed.  Now all that's left {besides saying "I Do."} is to tell the world {or your close circle of friends & family} all about your special day.  

Long gone are the days of conveying details by word of mouth.  Now everyone immediately goes to www.sallyandrichard.com {i.e., www.[insert bride's first name]and[insert groom's first name].com} to find out all the juicy details.  Just like a company website says a lot about the company, your wedding website says a lot about you and your intended and what your day will be like. 

Do you want a site that says the two of you are inattentive and our Day will be generic, or do you want a site that says the two of you are on top of your game and that your Day will be an event people will be talking about for years to come.  The custom websites by Wedding Window help you to be the latter.  You can get your own domain name -- KatieandJake.com -- and select a design that coordinates with your wedding colors and theme.  They even let you try it all out for free!

The part I like most is the back-end webware they give you.  It helps you create your guest list/mailing list, track RSVPs, create a wedding budget, track the gifts that you have received, and so much more.  It allows you to not only look like you're on top of things, but actually be on top of things.  What more could you want!

Destination...Wedding



Fustic House
Barbados
A Butler, a Security Guard, a Chef, a Gardener, a House Manager and Housekeepers....now that's what I call wedding staff.  Destination weddings are all the rage now and Barbados is an idyllic locale.  For couples who want to go straight from the alter to a sun & sand honeymoon, or if you are faced with a 500+ potential guestlist and want to weed out all but your true friends and family; a destination wedding is perfect.
 
For an intimate wedding on the isle of Barbados, a villa is the perfect solution and Fustic House is the perfect villa.  Sitting on 11 acres, this estate is set up on the hill overlooking the Caribbean sea.  It is the ultimate in seclusion and an ideal setting for a private wedding and intimate reception in the splendid gardens designed by Todd Longstaffe-Gowan.

There are 7 luxuriously appointed suites with open-air showers spread throughout four separate wings.  During your stay you and your guests will be treated to exquisite meals made to your taste by the the head chef {I sampled his cuisine when I visited this house and it is superb; the best food I had while on the island}.  The best part of your stay, when you're not eating, is swimming in the Oliver Messel designed lagoon swimming pool, which is carved directly out of the coral ridge. . . Absolute perfection.
