I NEVER do this but…

Posted on August 18, 2011

I have to say, we just ate at one of the best restaurants we’ve ever been to… and it’s here in Orlando. Saffran near the Florida Mall is an amazing new place serving a kind of fusion Indian, Middle-Eastern, American, Caribbean style of food in a very relaxed setting (think on the level of Chipolte but a little more sophisticated/sit-down). They have pizza type things called Saflats made on Indian Naan bread, burgers, chicken and rice, etc. It’s really totally unique and this is the first one open in the US (they are from Iceland of all places)I have never posted a straight up plug for anything that wasn’t wedding-related but I loved this place so much I had to share :)

If you love new experiences in food, you have to try it. Oh, and I have to mention the owner and staff were absolutely wonderful.

I am getting nothing out of this other than maybe helping a new restaurant do well so I can keep going there :)





Reem+Aziz’s Wedding(s)

Posted on August 16, 2011

Don’t be confused. Reem did indeed get ready twice, once at home and the second time at the Grand Bohemian Hotel. Although there are really only pictures of one ceremony, Reem and Aziz did two ceremonies on their wedding day. The first, a traditional religious “Nikah” which I did not take pictures of and a second ceremony at the Ballroom at Church Street. Both ceremonies were fantastic as was the reception upstairs in the Ballroom!





Erin+Josh’s Dubsdread Wedding

Venue: Dubsdread Country Club
Ok, great decor, great venue, spectacularly fun/great couple but what brings a group of vendors together like custom made ninja shirts for all. Yes, upon arrival every vendor was issued their own, unique vendor ninja shirt with the faux tux graphics on the front and their “Ninja Name” on the back. Silly? Sure, but I can’t tell you how much of a sense of community it brought to this wedding and beyond that, it was great fun!!!
