Wedding Rings And Jewelry
My Jewelry - I love Swarovski
So I generally am a total budget/deal finder.
However with my jewelry I figured why spend a good amount
on things I might not wear again. Instead over the past year
for my Birthday and Christmas my FI got me the jewelry I was
wanting for my wedding day but also as pieces to wear many
times again.

They are all from Swarovski and the pictures do not do them
justice.

I don't have a pic of the tiara but it is also swarovski and I got
that at 75% off at the bridal shop I bought my dress for only $35!

I got the following:

Evanenscent Pendant
Evanescent Earrings
Mesh Bracelet (3 rows of crystals)

So like I said I didn't exactly go with budget/deal finding on
the jewelry only because I will wear them again and again
(like on our Honeymoon Cruise for one of the formal nights).

Wedding Dress - Bought off the rack no alterations needed
So of course it was the first dress I ever tried on. None after that even compared. It was a sample on sale and no one had tried it on ever. The only thing I need done is to get the bustle put on but they height and size were perfect!

My DIY - Table Numbers
So our wedding is a garden theme. I picked up the frames on clearance at Target for about $1.00 each. Bought the moss matts at Joanns for $3 each (I think) and then hot glued them on. I created the template then cut them out and placed them in the frames. Basically I think it all cost no more than $20 (it's been a while) and they were super easy to do.

The small writing is our names and under it is the wedding date.

Wedding Rings And Jewelry
Wedding Band off Craigslist
Ok so for a while I didn't think I would get a wedding band because of the price of everything. I was okay with it as I figured I would get something later on. On Craigslist a lady was selling the same ring that goes for $740 brand new at Kay Jewelers. It is white gold 1/2 ct tw diamond band.

I got it for only $60! Yes it is real we had it checked and I am so happy I have a beautiful band that would even look pretty on it's own if I ever upgrade. It doesn't sit flush together but that's okay because I love the band anyways. Plus I have something to pass down to my daughter later.

Wedding Flowers
Flowers - Got my florist off Craigslist
So I thought I would have to get silk or fake flowers or have no flowers. I was referred to someone on Craigslist. She has years of experience but now runs her business out of her house. My bouquet was only $95 and will be just like the pic but with crystal pins in each rose. I didn't shop by price I saw what I wanted and told her my colors. When she said the price I was very very happy.

So then I added MORE lol. For $260 I am getting my bouquet, MOH, 2 BM, and 4 bouts. My bouquet is roses and oriental lillies.

Then I added MORE again which are for the centerpieces, strands of hanging orchids. 12 orchids per strand $8/ea. I also am getting 2 bags of rose petals ($40 ea) for the head table and aisle.

All together I spent under $600 I believe (it's been a while so I forget the exact price).

I am so happy to have fresh flowers for my wedding and by not having to pay a ton.

I made this myself and it was a total pain in the you know what. It's not perfect but I think it will fit perfectly. My colors are green and white (the fabric matches the BM dresses) and I am doing a crystal/bling theme.

I got the boxes, crystals and ribbon at Michaels. The fabric I got from Joanns.

I'm just glad it's done.

Diamond Paperweight Favors/Table Decor
So I purchased these from a local party planner/rental place for only $1.50 each! They are about 2" wide. This was by far the least expensive I found anywhere and they are great quality. They will be placed on the center of every napkin on the tables which guests may take home as favors. Yes not everyone will want one but that is fine because I love them and don't mind having a few extras. However, everyone I have shown them to has loved them and asked if they could have one.

Crystal Tree Centerpieces
So we will be having these but also with 3 strands of fresh hanging orchids on every tree (12 per strand). I got the crystal at an amazing deal as with all of the crystal I am using for our wedding. For the trees I am using five 14" strands and ten 7" strands. I bought them at a great price of $2.15 per 14" strand (I bought 80 of the 14" strands, ten for each tree and then split 5 of them in half to get the ten 7" strands).

I rented the trees from a local party planner/rental company for $8 a piece. I bought one of them for only $20 so that I could play around with it and get the look I wanted which is what is in the pic minus the orchids.

My First Post - Our Cake
Hi There I just found this website and had to join it, so this is my first post hope I did it right.

This will be our cake but using the two ring topper (I got it on Clearance for less than $9 at Joanns!).

The rhinestone banding I ordered from diamondpartyconfetti.com . It is beautiful and 4 rows thick so 3/4". The quality in the pics of all rhinestone banding doesn't do it justice as it is very heavy and super sparkly.

The cake itself will be chocolate and we are doing a cream cheese filling.

Our wedding will be in a secret garden outdoor setting. I am using literally thousands of crystals which I guess would be my theme, or as most call it "bling". My colors are white and green with touches of pink in the flowers. I really can not wait until our wedding day and for our honeymoon!
