Appleton Wedding
The Ultimate Appleton Wedding Planning Resource
Edith's of Fond du LacAwful wedding experience. I would never recommend anyone to have their wedding experience here. The staff overall was rude and unhelpful. There was one young lady in bridal that I give props to, but management was rude and had major attitude. She did not help in anyway. They made several mistakes and thought an apology was sufficient after wasting more than $600 to fix all their mistakes. I have never had such a poor shopping experience in my life. I got more help from the Formal Event in Appleton and didn't even buy my dress or bridesmaid dresses.

Alacrity Photography LLCAshley and Bryan were wonderful! They truly captured who my husband and I are as a couple, and our personalities really shined through in the pictures. They were creative and have such an eye for shots.
I did not know them when we first hired them, but we chose them because of the outstanding work we've seen them do for friends of ours. The way I look at it- when the wedding's over, you're left with memories and pictures of those memories. Having the most beautiful photographic memories to share with your children and grandchildren is simply invaluable. I've seen the work of many other local photographers, and quite honestly, they all look pretty amateur when compared to Ashley and Bryan's work.
We will be hiring them again!

Alacrity Photography LLCI did not know Bryan and Ashley personally before I booked them for my wedding. I found their website by doing an online search and absolutely loved the photos they took. Their prices were very reasonable and they seemed to be very flexible with their schedules. I felt like both photographers really worked hard to get to know my and my husbands personalities to provide us with photos that match our personalities. They were very professional, yet very fun to be around. We even brought our dog with to our engagement photos and they worked so well with him. They were so patient and worked hard to get the best photos! They are very creative! I wish I could have spend more time taking photos on my wedding day because I feel like they would never run out of ideas! I felt like everything they did was taken care of in a timely manner and they are always following up with everything to make sure we are happy with their work! I would recommend them to anyone and hope to work with them again in the future!

The Bridal Event9 of 11 tuxes were severly incorrect. 2 had to be delivered to us day of the wedding. 5 out of 5 dresses that were altered were sloppy or never quite correct. 4 out of 7 dresses purchased had mechanical issues (zippers or clasps that failed). Customer service was hit or miss - either spectacular, or horrid. Phone call with the manager to address these issues provided NO resolution - or even empathy to the situation.
STAY AWAY! I will pass the word as far as I can. If I had it to do over, I would never have given my business to this store.

Alacrity Photography LLCBryan takes beautiful photos but, unfortunately, for him his wife (Ashley) is ruining his business. She is very unprofessional and immature. Took 10 weeks to receive photo book that contract states takes 4-6 weeks to receive. lack of communication.

The wedding is over and I need to get my house back in order. I prefer local pick up as many of these things are breakable and/or heavy but will consider shipping some of the lighter items. Payments made via PayPal if shipping, cash if picking up, and buyer is responsible for shipping/insurance.
Don't like the prices; just make me an offer! More items to be added shortly.

After working so hard to plan this wedding (and buy a house, and work full time, and go to graduate school full time), we both NEEDED a great honeymoon. DH & I were not very well traveled (at the time).. we both took our little family trips to Disney when we were little and have been to most of the states in our area, but neither of us have ever taken a really big vacation. So, we wanted to go big. We decided on a 7 night stay at an all inclusive Sandals resort in Negril, Jamaica. It's was so beautiful there and I have nothing but positive thigngs to say. It's on a 7 MILE BEACH! How can you go wrong!? Here's the link to the site..

Before we go, we gotta have some cute luggage tags! I ordered these from Etsy seller Braggingtags. I love them!
UPDATE: Here are some pictures from our honeymoon! There are no words to describe what a perfect time we had. We stayed in a 2-floor loft suite with a BUTLER overlooking the ocean. There was a spa right in our resort that we had a couples massage in. And we also did the following:
- Snorkled
- Swam with dolphins
- Visited the Appleton Rum Estate
- Jumped into the YS Falls
- Took a river safari
- Dunns River Falls
Here are a few of my favorite pictures:
PURE PARADISE. And, it turns out that this trip sparked our absolute love and obsession with traveling. Since we got married, we've been to Boston, Chicago, a Carribbean Cruise (Cozumel, Belize, Honduras), and Disney World! Where to next!? :)

Page in progress.....
The day was October 23, 2010. I will never forget it. I felt like I was literally floating and watching myself. It went by so fast.
1 week before:
We live in Appleton, Wisconsin and our wedding was in Tucson, Arizona. We flew in a week prior to the wedding and boy, did we have our work cut out for us. This whole week was full of projects; favors, centerpieces, unity candle, place card holders etc. I was extremely stressed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Everyone said I was being quiet, acting sick, and thought something was wrong with me. But by Thursday, I was as calm as ever.
