Wedding Flowers
Black Magic!
My bouquet is going to be Black Magic roses with white calla lilies. The bridesmaids bouquets will be white callas. I love the contrast of the bouquet against the dresses.
My fiance's bout will be a BM rose and a calla with damask ribbon. The groomsmen will have callas and the ushers will have BM roses. We will hang black and white tulle over the trellis with calla lilies. The centerpieces are going to be mixtures of Black Magic roses, white calla lilies and white dendrobium orchids. |

The Proposal
Lincoln Park Zoo
Graig proposed to me at the Lincoln Park Zoo during their winter lights festival. He had his best friend tailing me through the park to catch it all in photos.

Wedding Decoration
Damask
Colors are black, wine and silver. I'm going to have black table runners and damask accents. Centerpieces are probably going to be eiffel tower vases with orchids.
ETA: My BIL painted my eiffel tower vases silver for me and they are gorgeous! I also bought plain wooden 4x6 frames at Michaels for a dollar each and I am painting them silver as well. I have made the table numbers with a Damask stamp and I will be putting them in the frames. The centerpieces are going to be mixtures of Black Magic roses, white calla lilies and white dendrobium orchids. I ordered the free business cards from Vistaprint to use as our escort cards. I also had the photo upload instructions printed on the back to save time & money. We are going to use wine corks as the card holders. Candy buffet will be displayed in old fashioned country store style jars. We got a 3200 piece kit that is used in candy cranes and sorted them into piles based on candy type. |

Wedding Photography
The Wedding Studio
Photography is being done by The Wedding Studio in Schaumburg.
ETA: So I just got an email from TWS and apparently it costs me $50 to meet with my photographer before the wedding. Is this normal, or should I have been paying more attention to the fine print? |
