Flowers
DIY
A friend of mine will be doing my flowers. I will help her just a little but mainly she will handle everything
We played around macking mock bouquets, bout. and corsages I was able to go to a local floral wholesaler at the end of the week and buy some flowers that they were going to get rid of and use those to play around with. All in all I was happy with the result. Ive decided not to use the calla lillies in my bouquet as I didnt like how it looked with them Im doing my own centerpieces im and really happy with those. tags:

hostess dress $1 |
Hostess
Dresses...all different
I decided early on that I definitely didnt want my hostesses to have to spend a ton on their dresses
So I turned to one of my favorte sites...ebay. I was able to find 3 of the 4 dresses that I needed on that site (The 4th girl went out and found hers on her own) 2 of the dresses I won on ebay for $5 plus shipping of $15 each and the last dress I just won early this week for $1 plus $15 shipping. So I ended up with 3 dresses and only spending a total of $56 all together. All of the dresses are in Sage green which is what I wanted as my BM are all wearing Choclate Brown tags:

Monogram Cake Topper
DIY
Another DIY project I tacked
This one wasn't too bad I ordered my wood letters (very cheap...my total with priority shipping was around $12 - I think) I then painted them in a metallic brown. After doing this, I glued individual rhinestones onto the letters in my wedding colors. I am very pleased with how the letters turned out. tags:

Favors
Ive known for a while exactly what I wanted to use as favors.
When deciding on favors, my first question to myself was "out of all the weddings Ive been too, which ones had favors that I can even remember..." Well of all the weddings...I could only come up with one. A friend of mine ordered Large Cookies that were the same shape and color of her actual wedding cake. I thought it was the prettiest thing. In addition to that, I love edible things. If it taste great, and looks pretty. It gets a thumbs up from me. With that said.....I decided upon Caramel apples. It goes great with my wedding colors, they taste good, and with the chocolate drizzle....they're pretty darn cute!! tags:

Table Numbers
I decided against the normal table number on a piece of paper sticking from the top of a metal stand.
Instead I decided to incorporate more of the green that I am using in my wedding and I attached rhinestones to faux apples to use as my table numbers. I will hang the apples from the metal stands instead of paper numbers. tags:

Bridesmaid Shoes
The chosen one!
Most of my wedding party lives out of town (including myself)
Only 1 of my bridesmaids lives near me. She and I ventured out on a hunt for the shoes they would wear and we found them. I think they are so sexy and will be a great shoe for them to use later as well. I didnt want to do a dyeable as Ive been in wedding before and they usually end up in the closet afterwards not being used. Im posting a few pics of the shoes we chose. tags:

Shoes Shoes Shoes
I love mine!
I found my shoes prior to finding my dress.
My fiancee and I were walking through the mall and went into a department store. The shoes caught my eye and I just fell in love with them. When he proposed, the first thing I did was go back to that store to get my shoes. They did not have them in my size. I called every store possible to find them. Finally I called my mom who lives in another state, then emailed her photos of the shoes. Well......she found them. My shoes were purchased white in color however im having them dyed ivory So...I have my shoes. tags: shoes

Ceremony Decor
Gotta figure this out soon
As of today we are only 99 days away from our Big Day
I have had a hard time making up my mind about the ceremony decor I want to keep it simple yet something very pretty and a little bold at the same time. Ive decided to use a Chuppah or Canopy and have it decorated with drapes of fabric and some type of bling I finally found one that I can rent. Heres a few pics of the one I am renting and also some sample pics of decorated ones that I really like. |

Grooms Cake
Surprise!
Ive decided to do the surprise Grooms Cake.
Im not exactly sure what theme Im going to use as of yet but I do know it will have something to do with tools (FI is obsessed with working on things), or UFC ( he doesnt miss any of the fights) I have to check with the bakery thats doing our wedding cake to see what they can do. Ive found a few pictures that I like and offers good ideas. I cant wait to see his face. Whichever design I choose, I know he will LOVE! Anyone else doing a surprise grooms cake? tags:

Cake
Our cake tasting was just OK.
I was hoping to have a lot of fun doing it. The first bakery gave us pieces of previously frozen cake therefore it wasnt moist and yummy. We ended up leaving there. The 2nd place we went to was pretty good. They gave us loads of samples and fillings. I cant wait to see how it turns out. I love so many differnt styles and I definitely love different flavors. Weve chosen the baker but the syle ...well we told her what we wanted but advised that we may change our minds regarding the style 10 more times before the big day. Ive included a few photos of the styles that I like. Enjoy |

Bouquet Jewelry
Where do I find it?
Im trying to decide on my bouquet.
I have several ideas in mind. Mostly including flowers in different shades of green and cream. I would love a hand tied bouquet with jewels or some type of sleeve. I have searched all over and most places charge so much for them. There has to be a better way..lol I will continue my search until I locate exactly what Im looking for. Ive attached a few photos of bouquets that I like and the BLING that I like. tags:
