invading cape may

we're pretty much done in terms of booking the suppliers for our church wedding in the philippines but we haven't booked anything yet for our civil wedding here in the U.S....... we really didn't feel the urgency to make arrangements for our civil wedding so we decided to concentrate on our philippine wedding instead......

 i'm dreaming of a beach wedding, a simple beach wedding (we don't want to splurge since we're already semi-splurging on our church wedding) and we thought  cape may   would be an excellent choice.....so finally, on may 21, 2011, saturday, the same date it was rumored to be the end of the world, my h2b and i finally set out on a mission to visit  cape may ....


 we want to know how the weather is like at this time of the year and how crowded it would be.....we also visited the reception venues that i have researched and contacted thru the web prior our visit...... it was a productive day..... we're able to witness an actual cape may wedding and we were able to get some ideas out of that..... we also we're able to pick a perfect spot on the beach for the actual ceremony and we also kinda found a good reception venue..... i said "kinda" because we're trying to figure out the logistics with regards to parking and going to and from the ceremony venue to the reception...... so until we figured out how to take care of that we have to keep looking...... but we love the reception we looked at and we love their food too!





we also went to this bridal shop called wedding by the sea to ask for the rental rates of their chairs, arbor and feather banner....... it was reasonable but we weren't able to book them yet because we don't have our reception and ceremony venue yet........ aside from ceremony rentals, they also have lots of interesting stuff like the starfish tiara, the big diamond replica (that h2b bought coz he thought it would be a good gag, lol), the cute satin flower bouquet and the groom and bride piggy bank (just click the image for better view) .......
we also found out thru that shop that may and september are their busy months..... which also means we might need to book them soon, but how soon is soon is still up in the air......

we might need to go back in a few weeks to plan the logistics and everything...... originally we're thinking of looking at both cape may and rehoboth, delaware but we might just  skip that because we're thinking we're in good hands in cape may since they really do beach weddings and they're famous for that.....

by the way did i mention i love cape may? i love love it! the shops at washington street......the nice beach....the victorian houses.....the colorful buildings......it's just lovely....... no wonder it's famous for beach weddings.....
