Posted on January 15, 2012 by natalieburg

Nothing is more exciting than officially crossing a decision off our list. I might even count this as our most exciting item, as the food was the very first thing I started thinking about. I’m just going to say it: … Continue reading →

Save the Dates for the Mitten State!

Posted on January 3, 2012 by natalieburg

It’s smart, one would think, to combine a wedding task with a task you were going to do anyway, right? Our brilliant plan this December was to send out save the dates with our Christmas cards. The advantage and the achilles heel of this heel of this plan, as it turns out, is that Christmas cards should really be sent out by a certain date. Christmas. Save the dates should be sent out in a timely fashion as well, but the date isn’t exactly set in stone. Or the Gregorian Calendar. Continue reading →

Or wait – not the coffee? Well, I guess that one is a stretch. But in our case, we really do care what kind of coffee is served at our wedding.

It’s likely going to be a long day, and an extra boost of caffeine will probably be welcome. More importantly, we care about the coffee that is served because Mike and I love coffee.

Michigan food time!

Posted on November 5, 2011 by natalieburg

We have been thinking about the food at our wedding since, well – we actually thought about the food first. Not to seem unromantic and/or insane, but practically the first thing I thought about after Mike proposed was, “Ooo! We are going to have the best food at our wedding!”

Yup. That sounds both unromantic and insane. Our desire to express our love of Michigan through our wedding, however, makes food a natural centerpiece. We grow and make a lot of good food here. Mike and I actually picked our wedding date based on the time of year when the best produce Michigan has to offer is available. So stakes are pretty high here. Continue reading →
