The Kostman-Wayne – Sumner Ceremony and Reception 10/21/06

Amy Kostman-Wayne is what I call a modern woman. This Legal Eagle wowed me from the first moment we met and I knew I better be on top of my game. Now let me be blunt…

Amy is gorgeous. The peaches and cream complexion, the willowy figure and the dazzling smile makes a person take a second glance. But behind that midwestern-belle exterior is a formidable business woman who frankly, can be ruthless…something right out of “Boston Legal”. Let’s just say I am glad that I was on her team.

Amy knew EXACTLY what she wanted her wedding ceremony and reception to be like. Black linens with sheer gold stripe overlays for drama. Gleaming gold chivari chairs with black cushions and antique gold damask napkins completed her look. Mary Tuttle, a wee, timid lass, was chosen as florist and in true Mary Tuttle style, delivered the wow factor.
I have seen many a wedding dress in my day, but Miss Amy decided to rock my world and showed up in a silk number that left you speechless. The simple, stunning cut of that gown with the plunging decollete made her the center of attention all night. I only had to use the smelling salts on Craig maybe once…twice at the most.

She stole all the glamour that night…it was like I had orange warning cones around me.

Amy and Craig had a long distance relationship and flew into St. Louis to meet. They always met each other at Gate 16 at Lambert and I was so touched that their signature cocktail was “The Gate 16″ Martini. The wedding cake with fondant falling leaves wasn’t bad either.
The jury has reached a verdict. This wedding is found guilty of being fabulous.

Hello Everyone. I am sorry that I have been away from the Blog for so long. Since fall, I have been swamped with weddings, holiday parties and new clients. As we focus our attention fully on the client, I had to let something slide.

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the numerous calls, e-mails and letters I have received from the readers. I am glad that you miss me and like what I have to say.
From being voted one of the top 20 Sexy and Successful Young Professionals in St. Louis by ALIVE Magazine, my fall feature spread in St. Louis Magazine At Home, Sauce Magazine and the amazing article in the January copy of St. Louis Magazine, I have had a lot of wonderful things going on. Check out the new edition of St. Louis Bride Magazine and learn a few of my trade secrets. The Coronado continues to be the premier venue in St. Louis and we appreciate your business!

Now to the thinner part…I decided to get a trainer and seriously start working out in 2007. Now granted, I hardly show any wear and tear but even the hottest sports car needs some fine tuning. I am a member at St. Louis Work Out and my trainer Aaron is seriously military. Despite the fact that I have been waking up in severe pain and letting out girlish screams when I move, he just won’t let up. I don’t mind the weight lifting but all the diet lectures and the tread mill…yeek…I think I may have a palpatation.

I really liked him before the feeling of being dragged by a truck set in.

Anyway, here is to a new and better body and blog. I expect each of you to keep up with my progress.
