Can a Lego-themed wedding be classy?
Apparently so. And no, we’re not doing a Lego themed wedding (sorry). We interviewed with a wedding coordinator on Wednesday. Even though my wedding will be relatively small, I’m probably going to splurge for a day-of coordinator, just because I don’t want to delegate it to a friend or relative, and there’s just no way I can do it myself without having a nervous breakdown. I’m talking to coordinators early in case they can also offer small consultation services (particularly with vendors) as I’m planning stuff. I’m not going to talk about how the interview went or if we’re going to use her since we still need to talk to other coordinators. However, I will say that I think it’s cool and savvy that she has a blog that’s somewhat regularly updated. I think it’s a great way to advertise and display your work.
Her most recent post was about the last wedding where she worked as a day-of coordinator. The couple, who also have their own blog chronicling their wedding planning adventures, worked hard at organizing a Lego-themed wedding. Now, that sounds really nerdy and tacky, but it actually turned out quite nice. I mean, check out their bitchin’ cake (from Cake Expressions)!
Apparently, the groom is some sort of Lego nut, so they managed to incorporate Legos into their wedding in several places. Their save-the-date magnets were a Lego bride and groom pair, their bridal portrait at the reception was done in Legos, their table with number placards had a Lego centerpiece, yada yada. They also had other random fun elements, like a photo booth and lion dancers. They’re not the first people to think up this idea, but I’m really impressed with how tasteful theirs turned out. If I had their same Lego obsession and (I’m assuming) much larger budget, I would totally rip them off. I’m certainly reading their blog for insight, as I need any help I can get!
It’s stuff like this that really makes me dig blog culture. You can learn so much from strangers or help other internet wanderers just blogging about whatever. I’m feeling more motivated to be more organized. Look, I even started a “Wedding” category!
New thing I learned today: ML-CAD (Mike’s Lego-CAD) is a freeware CAD (computer aided design) software for Legos. It has a large database of Lego parts with official part numbers, making it easier to order pieces from places like BrickLink, an online hub for Lego buying and selling.
