I plan on getting some pillar candles and wrapping the paper around them. Then I might add ribbon, gemstones or wedding rub ons.

I have had my eyes on it for months now. On black Friday i went to hobby lobby and got it for $5.00! The regular price was like $11.00, so I really got a deal!

Then i want to get letters that spell out CARDS like the ones I got for my candy buffet to go around it. I don't know which color(s) to paint my letters tho. Any ideas?]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/bella247/milestones/182121 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/bella247/milestones/182121 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 17:56:00 PST These are our save the dates!

She was so nice. We got to taste a bunch of yummy stuff. We decided on a white 3 tier offset square cake. The bottom layer is going to have a black design with white trim. The middle layer is going to have a hot pink ribbon with purple trim. The top layer is going to have a purple heart scroll design with black trim. Then finally our beautiful topper! Im also thinking about adding a few butterflies to it. So what do you think?]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/bella247/milestones/175033 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/bella247/milestones/175033 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 13:00:00 PST About two weeks ago Charles and I went to Kay Jewelers to find our wedding rings. It was kinda funny/cute. Well when it was my turn I picked out 3 rings to try on. Finally after what felt like 20 mins I picked out my wedding ring! It is a 14K White Gold 1/2 Carat Diamond Enhancer! :) Next it was Charles turn. He said I want diamonds too. He went up to the case and picked out like 15 to try on...lol! He got it down to two rings. He couldnt make up his mind. Finally we asked the boss guy what ring was the best and thats the ring we are getting! His is a 10K White Gold 1/10 Carat Diamond Band!

I plan on getting these wooden letters from hobby lobby and painting strips of our colors on them. Ok so what are some of the candies your using in your candy buffet? what candy would look good purple, white, pink and black?]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/bella247/milestones/174872 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/bella247/milestones/174872 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 21:33:00 PST Hello Ladies! Ok so this morning I had a dream that had two huge butterflies in it! I woke up and started wondering what they could mean.?? Well I looked it up and this is what it said. Have you had crazy dreams? To see a butterfly in your dream, denotes your need to settle down.�Butterflies signify creativity, romance, joy and spirituality. You may be experiencing a transformation into a new way of thinking.�Or you may be undergoing a transitional phase. Consider the term "social butterfly" to describe someone who is popular and outgoing. Does this describe you? Perhaps you need to be more outgoing. Alternatively, the butterfly is symbolic of longevity. To see two butterflies in your dream, represent a long and happy marriage. To catch or kill a butterfly, suggests that you are being too superficial. To dream that you are mounting a butterfly on frame, symbolizes sexual oppression.

This Gothic Revival building is the third Masonic Temple for the Masons in Muncie. Construction on the building began in 1920 and finished in 1926 at a cost of approximately $1 million. Prominent local architect Cuno Kibele was commissioned for the project. In addition, nationally recognized artist Gustav S. Brand created twenty-two murals for the interior spaces. The Masonic Temple was officially dedicated on November 27, 1926. The six stories are divided into three levels, each a double story. The first level contains a banquet hall and auditorium, which were intended for use of the community. The second and third levels were reserved for the various Masonic lodges, though only the third level continues to be used for this purpose. Throughout the nearly 75 years of this building’s use, most of the original character defining exterior and interior features remain unaltered. http://www.cornerstonearts.org/OurFacility/history.php The colonnade room holds 450 people and the Great room holds 200 people. Its like a blank canvas. I can do any theme or colors i want! ]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/bella247/milestones/171524 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/bella247/milestones/171524 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 11:02:00 PST After a long day of work and school we went out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. I knew something was up, he was so nervos the whole way there. We were seated in a booth in the center of the restaurant. I noticed there were a few older couple near by watching us close..lol. We ordered our drinks and food. Then Charles got out of the booth, down on his knee and took a small box out of his pocket. He opened the box and it was a 14K white gold 1 carat t.w. Three-Stone Diamond Ring! He took my hand. He told me he loves me so much. That he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and wants me to the be the mother of his children. Then asked will I marry him? ....I Said Yes!!!! :) Then the waitress came back with our food and didnt know what to think..lol She announced our engagement to the whole restaurant and everyone made some noise.]]>
