St. Louis wedding – Groomasaurus Gal’s take

Groomasaurus Gal says:

A few things I liked about the wedding.

1) There were vases of water placed on the headtable so the bridesmaids could put their bouquets in water to save them. Great idea.

2) I liked the open seating, because you could sit next to who you wanted to. Although I didn’t like the fact that it wasn’t explained to us when we entered, so we did scurry around a little bit asking where we were supposed to sit. Other than the confusion, it was a good idea.

3) I really liked the idea of a wedding Web site, because we didn’t know much about the groom and we could read up about him and his background. Plus we had a better sense of how they met, and we could download all the directions to the church and reception.

4) They repeated the directions to the reception hall on the back of the wedding program. This was great for people who forgot to bring the directions with them, and a nice touch.

5) The main color for the wedding was black, and all the bridesmaids’ dresses were black, which makes it more likely they will be used again. This seems less wasteful and makes it easier for bridesmaids to swallow buying a dress if there’s a chance they can wear it again. And the groomsmen weren’t wearing ridiculously colored vests and bowties. Often you go to weddings and the bridesmaids dresses are powder blue and so are the groomsmens’ vests and ties, and it looks like a bad 80s high school prom.
