It was hard to leave our baby, Dexter, especially when he did this:
We got engaged at the Hotel Zaza and we haven't been back much since, so it was so fun to go back! (By the way, you can read our engagement story here.)
The best part? They upgraded us since it was our anniversary! We were so upgraded, our room didn't even have a hotel room number. Yeah, that's right. Our room was called "Fatal Charms." Sounds a bit deadly, but the suite was quite the opposite!
OHHHHH YEAAHHHHHH
Our foyer. You know, 'cause it's necessary.
The half bath. 'Cause it's totally necessary, too.
The kitchenette
Chandelier over the bed. EXTREMELY necessary.
INCREDIBLY NECCESSARY bathroom
Huge walk-in closet and full-length mirror
Awesome view!
Two chandeliers. ABSOLUTELY necessary.
Sitting area. Not necessarily used much.
Oh yeah, we went to dinner too! We dined at where we held our wedding reception last year, Maggiano's! Great place to throw a kick-butt party! (i.e. open bar...)
They took our picture and gave us a sweet card!
And instead of even daring to eat the frozen cake we put in the freezer (which, I might add, we didn't wrap well and it smelled funny), I ordered a new one from our same baker! The cake didn't really look like this for the wedding, but it's a pretty anniversary cake!
Raspberry cream cheese...... yummmm
Our wedding cake one year ago. Gorgeous AND delicious!

Overall, it was a great, romantic getaway!

Happy anniversary! What an AMAZING upgrade, WOW!!! Love the totally necessary chandeliers and rooms hahahahaha! (poor cat, though awwww)
Awesome hotel! And your "Suite" was beautiful!!
I'm so glad you have a wonderful anniversary!!
I'm 'featuring' you on my "Meandering Monday's" theme in my blog today! :)
(it's a little after 6 a.m here on the West Coast, so it'll be up and ready in about an hour or so!!)
Have a great Monday Meg!!!!
What an AMAZING suite!!
I have actually heard of Maggiano's! I think I went there for a party once. It was a nice place and they had really good food.
That cake looks amazing btw! Congratulations on your first year and I hope you have many, many more to come!!
That's adorable and you guys are precious.
Visiting from Mingle Monday. I enjoyed reading your blog. Even helped myself to your button.
Looks like you had a great anniversary!
Wow awesome room!
We also chose not to save our cake top and got a new one made from the same baker.
I approve too! Do you live in Dallas? Is that where that hotel is? If so, I stayed there for a Bachelorette party once (I do not live in Dallas - I live in Fayetteville, Arkansas). Anywho - the hotel was AWESOME! We were in a really cool suite and we used their spa. I was pregnant at the time and had THE best pregnancy massage. It was awesome! The music was alternative music - which I like (but it was "calm" alternative music).
Well, happy anniversary! It looks like y'all had a GREAT time!
What a gorgeous hotel!! Congratulations on your first anniversary!
PS - Found your blog from Life of Meg! :)
Wow Holy Shit!! I thought I have had some pretty awesome upgrades and stayed in some sweet rooms but man those are like dirty old motel rooms/hostels compared to this beauty. GORGEOUS!! I love it. Seriously that is probably bigger than my condo
Glad you guys had a great mini vacation and a great anniversary
Hey I saw your blog over at Life of Meg's Mingle Monday and I think your blog is absolutely adorable! I love the pictures of that suite... Those are always the best getaways! Can't wait to continue reading!
If this is the way you celebrate your first anniversary, the ones to come will be worth the wait!
What a great anniversary trip! So glad you were able to celebrate in style. :)
PS - our boxer Dixie does the same thing everytime we open a suitcase. She actually will pull clothes out of the suitcase as we are putting them in. She hates when we travel!
that sounds and looks amazing!!!!!!!! Happy anniversary!!
Just dropping by from Life of Meg's Mingle Monday, and I'm really glad I have done. Your blog is so cute!! Congratulations on your anniversary too...you look like you had an amazing time, and that hotel is to die for!!
Happy Anniversary! We are celebrating ours in just about 3 weeks! Time flies! We're also celebrating where we were engaged--Chicago! We didn't do a traditional wedding cake, so have no freezerburnt sweets to enjoy, so I'm having a bakery make a small one for us too! Great minds think alike:) Looks like a lovely time, thanks for sharing!
Cute blog! And what an amazing anniversary celebration!! That hotel is gorgeous!! And how sweet to go back to where you got engaged!
Wow, that hotel sounds amazing - from their decor to their hospitality!
Sounds like a great trip, although I'm sure your Dexter baby was glad to see you again!
Happy Anniversary! Visiting from Mingle Monday. :]
Where in the hell is that hotel room? Because I'd like to go; anniversary or not :)
That cake looks scrumptious and white chocolate and raspberry definitely go together so WELL! :) I aprrove as well ;)
What a great anniversary! That suite looks amazing! The hubby and I are thinking about going to the beach for a weekend for our anniversary. Three years on September 1st. :)
What a great anniversary! I can't believe that hotel room! It's truly amazing - and I'm uber jealous!!
My cat Vada ALWAYS jumps in suitcases when we're packing, but we bring her along when we head back home, because I can't leave her alone! It breaks my heart too much! (I'm such a loser!!)
It looks awesome!!!! I would love to go somewhere like that one day!
fancy fancy!!! we were supposed to stay at zaza on our wedding night, but that fell through! sads. its so pretty!
Dude, sweet freakin hotel!
What a wonderful anniversary. Thanks so much for sharing all the photos.
That hotel room is amazing!! You could move in there - it's like an apartment with an upgrade! Happy anniversary, and enjoy your cake!
xo Erin
The top of our cake was nasty! I ordered a duplicate cake and it was amazing. I don't know who thought to eat the top of cake a year later???
Hope you had a fabulous anniverary!
Following from Meg's Mingle!
Sounds like a great time!

Delilah
Wow! It looks like you had an amazing time. I love all the "necessary" items in your room--I especially loved the pic of the closet with the full length mirror and you standing in your bathrobe shooting the picture. Yes, I'd probably be taking the pictures right after a shower or whatever too. I love the theme for your blog. I'm happy to be a new follower.
Oh my dear goodness! What an absolute amazing experience you had! Thank you so much for sharing the luxury with the rest of us "common folk" - hahaha!
Time to take a vacay now - wooo girl!
Thanks for stopping by Mingle Monday!! I hope you've enjoyed it and are finding new followers :)
xo,
Meg
