table centerpieces
what to do, what to do?
So as you ladies know ive been going back and forth, back and forth deciding which centerpieces i want to use in the wedding. I cant seem to find anything im TOTALLY in love with.
I took a trip to Joanns fabric today to price damask fabric i plan on making table squares out of myself. With the help of a worker we figured out we would need 5 yards of fabric with the size i want to go with. @ $9.99 a yard & 50% off coupons that brings my total to just $ 25 for 19 table squares! I decided to try a mock centerpiece of yellow hydrangeas placed in different size cylinder vases. I added crystals i purchased a few months back around the vases along with 3 votives (which i also purchased around christmas time @ just 8 for $1!) Im actually pleased with the outcome, its cost effective & not too simple but not totally over the top . I plan on playing around with differnt colored & textured ribbon on the vases to see what works best. Ive put up a few pictures of a couple different ways id display the centerpieces. Ill fill yall in when i come up with a final result! - btw, im open to suggestions ladies ! |

Wedding Reception
finally found chair covers!
Chair covers were a must for the reception but i def. didnt like the price tag that comes along with them. With much help from my MOH, she found a site that is very reasonable!
hookmyweddingup.net Im leaning more towards chair cover number 1, but i like 2 as well |

personalized hanger- finished!
last night i completed my final hanger. I was concerned that the wire would not hold my dress so i started looking @ other options. I HATE wooden hangers just like i despise plastic hangers so i decided to use a white satin hanger. I tied a white & black bow on there for a girlie feel & attached the wire to the fabric.
you like my final product?! |

  table numbers little blurry from my iphone, sorry!   |
DIY Wedding
table numbers & some T.O.J packs completed!
Went to my Maid of honors house tonight & printed out table numbers & my little poems for the tears of joy packets.
Invitations, programs, Menus, Drink List, Photo tables, escort cards, & etc. are still left to print ! (ehh! :x) I decided to use scriptina font to corridinate with some of the other fonts im using in the wedding such as the menus & invites. Ladies believe it or not i got those picture frames from the DOLLAR TREE! Yes $1! they are orginally brown & gold so i took some black lacquer spray paint to them & Whoala! I think they turned out great & check them out... they even has the "fleur de lis" sign seen in damask themes on the sides! Ill have to post better pictures. Its so hard to get done what id like to get done weekly due to not having a printer for my laptop. HELP ME FIND ONE CHEAP! Ive never realized extra costs of things you "dont really need" until we started planning this wedding! BLAH! |

Hi girls! havent been on in about a week.
BUSY BUSY BUSY! Ive been doing alot with booking, setting dates & times for things & really getting down to whats going to take place the few days before & day before the wedding. I decided to do 4 iteninaries 1. bridal shower iteninary 2. groomsmen iteninary 3. bridemaids iteninary 4. & regular wedding iteninary (for vendors, mothers & fathers of B & G, etc) along with a bride, groom, groomsmen, bridemaid, & bridal suite checklist DO YOU THINK IM NUTS?! Im not 100% on every little detail for the wedding checklist yet so i did a rough draft of the bridemaids iteninary. what do you think? Bridesmaids iteninary Thursday July 22nd 1:00 last minute details to be put together ( I just made this time slot in case I do not have everything completed, fingers crossed they will be & I can insert RELAXING into this hour) 4:00 30 minute massage for bride & mother of bride 4:30 waxing services for bride & bridemaids @ pamper yourself (main st, Munhall) 5:30-8:00 pm bride, bridemaids & women in wedding party to get nails & toes done (ladies, they shut down the nail salon for us.. So I think champagne is necessary!) Friday July 23rd 12:00 bride, mother of the bride & groom, aunts, available bridemaids, etc. will be going to Heinz field to set up centerpieces, table numbers, photo table, card table, etc. (I do NOT have a wedding planner girls so I hope you can make it!) 4:45 I would like all of the wedding party to meet @ my house by 4:45. This is just to give you the iteninary for the actual wedding day & to go over some last minute details or changes 5:30 rehearsal starts @ church. Im hoping this will only take about an hour but Ive put in for an hour and a half in case we run into problems 7:30 Rehearsal dinner reservations are made @ the Spaghetti Warehouse down the strip district. (@ dinner ladies, make sure you place your order for breakfast tomorrow morning!) 10:00 dinner over --were still deciding if were going to go out for a while after dinner (please no shots guys!, I do NOT want hungover groomsmen!, you too ladies! I know how you like to party ;) ) 11:00 Bride & MOHs will stay in the bridal suite where getting ready will take place tomorrow morning (girls, Id like it if you could bring your dresses & everything you need to the hotel the night before, that way we can go over everything to make sure everyone has what they need) Saturday July 24th 8:15 wedding party to be up & @ hotel no later than 8:15 am (girls will be eating breakfast & hair will start @ 8:30) 8:30 Mandy & Brenna arrive & will be starting hair (Mothers will start first, followed by the bride, so on & so forth) 10:30 photographer arrives to get getting ready pictures 12:20 the wedding party will depart & meet @ the church to take pictures before hand of the wedding party (this will give us extra time afterwards to take pictures with the family being as though we have to be out of the church by 3:30) *the boys will be leaving from my house 12:45 arrive --bride & groom pictures, wedding party pictures outside of church 2:00 ceremony starts 3:30 leave church- post ceremony pictures * picture sites are - Mount Washington -by river near Heinz Field -Heinz field (locker room, field, game board) 5:00 cocktail hour starts (@ this time we will still be getting pictures) 6:00 reception formally starts & bridal party enters |
