True Brides {Lisa + Mike}

Happy to present another True Brides Feature - Lisa and Mike!!  They were married on October 15th (but because of how crazy it is in October with weddings, I didn't get to check my email until after the honeymoon---so I apologize for it being late).

They were married at Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church in Mogadore, Ohio and their wedding colors were wine, peach and pale pink!  And they were baci stationery clients as well - yay!

When I asked Lisa about her engagement, this is what she had to say, " I had an idea that it was coming, but I had no idea that he was going to propose on the day that he did!"

Lisa said one of the first things she did when she got engaged was interview locations for her reception!

Wedding Questions

One thing you were worried about when planning your wedding?

Making it all look cohesive.

What was the easiest vendor to book?

The photographer, we had tons of recommendations and they were all for the same man.  The first time I met with him, I knew he was perfect for our wedding!  (She's talking about Jamie Jansen Photography!)

What was the hardest vendor to book?

Reception hall.  There were so many choices and so much work to do in order to evaluate each site based on location, food and beverage cost, overnight accommodations and service.  (They eventually decided on the beautiful Ramada Plaza in downtown Akron!)

Is there anything special that has been done for your wedding?

Everything :)

How was wedding dress shopping?

I went to one store and found my dress that day.  It ended up being a dress that I would have never tried on if my Matron of Honor and the sales associate didn’t persuade me, but it’s absolutely perfect!!

What’s been the most stressful part about the wedding?

Making sure that all the little details are completed and making sure that everything flows smoothly.

What’s been the best part about the wedding?

Seeing all the support and love from all of our family and friends.  We are truly blessed.

Was choosing your wedding party hard or easy?

Easy, I’ve had the same core group of friends since kindergarten and Mike’s groomsmen he’s known almost the same amount of time.

Have things gotten any easier as the wedding day approaches?

The last few weeks have been hectic meeting with all of our vendors for the last time and finalizing everything.  I think the easiest part of the wedding process was after we had all our vendors booked until about a month before the wedding. 

A Huge Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Bezbatchenko!!!!
