DIY TISSUE POMANDER BALLS
So I changed my mind about doing the balls below, and went back to my original plan of making the tissue pomander balls. I got the directions online from a fellow blogger, and they turned out so good. She suggested that I use two different color tissue paper for my depth. They are so pretty, they remind me of dahlias.
So I plan on having the girls over for a night of flower building. We will assemble the balls at a later time. *UPDATE* FOR THE DIRECTIONS VISIT http://racetotheaisle.blogspot.com/2008/09/diy-pomanders.html |

Ask a Question
Where did you get your shoes???
I really want to add a pop of color underneath my gown... I really want to wear yellow ones, but have only found a few websites with cute yellow pumps...However, I see them on blogs all the time! So where are you girls finding all fo your colorful pumps????
Also...Do not want to pay over $100 for shoes that I will only wear for 2 hours! |

Wedding Invitation
New Find...???
I need 100 invites...I previously blogged about the damask invites I got from Target, but I would have to add to them to spruce them up in order for me to be happy with the final product. So, I ran across these invites and I think they are perfect!
It is not just cardstock, it comes with the backing, rsvp cards, and a cute damask belly band to hold it all together... All that I would add would be a label with one of my monograms, just to add a touch of yellow in there. The picture appears to be brown but the invites come in blk/white or blk/off-white. I found them at www.theamericanwedding.com. And for 100 invites, printed with our info, it would be $120--Not bad at ALL. They do require assembly, which is no biggy for me! |

Monograms
Thanks 2 Marta12
I have to thank Marta for the amazing monograms she whipped up for me in no time! I love them, and they were free!
Take advantage of her generousity ladies, because she will probably start charging because she is in demand these days! Thanks Marta! |

Pomander Balls
**UPDATE**
OK, AFTER DOING ONE OF THESE BALLS, I DECIDED THAT THIS IS WWAAAYYYYY MORE WORK THAN THE TISSUE BALLS! SO YES, I AM GOING BACK TO MY ORIGINAL PLAN--DIY POM POM BALLS! Ok...So I posted B4 about the Martha Stewart Balls, but after hearing how time consuming they were, I changed my mind. Also, I didnt know how the tissue would hold up if I started my project in advance to save time/stress. So I found this blog on oncewed.com...Check it out for step by step directions. I have made one ball so far, and I was very happy with the turn out. To save time/$$$, Im going to try and paint the ball instead of wrapping it with ribbon, I dont think you can really tell unless you stare at it. I will try it and blog about it later. I am waiting for the balls to go on sale! I still have to add the bow, but here is my first ball! http://www.oncewed.com/index.cfm?postID=280&title=DIY_Paper_Flower_Pomander_Ball |

Wedding Dress
I love my new dress!!!
***Update: A lot of brides have asked for the designer, and where I got her. So I figured I would post the info...The designer is Jasmine. I tried it on at a local salon, but searched for the best price. I got it from Jaysbridal.net, and got an awesome deal!
So my dressed that I ordered in March came in last month, but it was not what I expected. When I tried on the dress, it only came in the trunk show size (so it was too small). I had my model-like consultant try it on, and I fell in love with it! I love the dress, but It does not fit my body shape the way I expected it too. I was not going to get another dress, but decided to after having a talk with my family. My papa said, "People dont remember the food they ate, the music, or the food...but everyone remembers what you looked like in your wedding dress" So I went out and found another dress... I am in love with it, and I feel like a million bucks! Its simple, but has just enough detail to make it special. I love the neckline, I think its a twist on the traditional sweetheart neckline. My favorite part, it looks expensive, but this designer knock off was only $599 dollars!!!! The dress zipped, but was a bit snug, so I am getting a size bigger than I have on in the pictures. I am also getting ivory, this sample was white... |

BM DRESSES!!!
I never wanted my BM dresses to look like BM dresses. I found these dresses at White House Black Market and fell in love! They are very classic, simple, but sheek! The style is very sex and the city, and all the girls are excited about them!
They are $178, but we are having a girls night out party and they give us 10%-15% off! All I had to do was give the store of my choice all the sizes that I need, and we just show up. If we change our mind, we are not obligated to buy, which is great! The girls and I go this Sunday to purchase, I am so excited!!! |

Wedding Decoration
So here are some pictures from my dinner night! It turned out so amazing... everything was perfect--the decor, the food, the wine, and the conversation!
It was fun to see the table done up, it was kind of like a trial run for the real thing. The only difference is that I have white napkins at the reception, but after seeing it like this, I think I might be renting yellow :) The party was held at my S.I.L's house... her house looked so beautiful and I was so greatful for her hosting the dinner night. My M.I.L sewed the beautiful linens and decorated the entire table-- she even made napkin rings out of the damask fabric! She was also our server for the night(I don't know what I would have done if she wasnt there)... she served us wedge salads, spinach and cheese ravioli, veggies, and garlic cheesy bread (that my cuz made, it was so yummy), and a five star dessert that Aly just whipped up! Thanks to everyone for making my party extra special, and for making my vision come true, I could not have done it without all of my helpers! |
