I even drilled the wholes at the end of the hanger to insert the wire. It doesn’t look as good as the ones you can purchase but hey for .1 cent YES girls .1 cent to make I’m pleased with it. The hanger I already had and the wire rung up for only .1 cent at Orchard. The cashier said they were discontinuing it so that’s why it was only a penny. So what do you girls think? I still have to get some of the kinks out of it.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/118033 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/118033 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 07:02:00 PST I absolutely LOVE my Tiffany Box. It’s classy yet with a vintage look. I found these lovely’s at Ross. I added the poem to each box & found these vintage looking lotion / soap sets. I was planning on getting a lot of small travel size items to put in the boxes; however I’ve read from a lot of brides posts that during their wedding a lot of the items got taken! YES TAKEN!!! So I decided to purchase a few absolutely needed regular sized items.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117729 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117729 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 09:14:00 PST My Bridal Shower has a Shabby Chic Theme (inspired by Aimee114) So when I went to Michaels and Ross I couldnt pass these lovely's up! My MOH was a little upset that I purchased them b/c she want's to pay for everything but these were just too good to pass up. I can't wait to see it all come together.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117728 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117728 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 09:03:00 PST I found this tiffany blue damask fabric yesterday @ Joannes. FMIL & I plan to use this fabric for our wedding favors... homemade jelly..YUM :o) The second picture is the look I'm going for. Half the jars will be covered in the red fabric & the other half in the damask. Have any of you ever made homemade jelly? If so is it easy & how long do you think 125 jars will take us? YIKES!]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117723 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117723 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 08:46:00 PST I'm so excited about these recipe cards. I hope you girls like them ;o) I kept going back and forth about the theme of my box/cards. When I was at Tjmaxx the other day I found this neat cute little mailbox. It's a lighter shade of tiffany blue with hummingbirds on it (my late grandmothers favorite bird) as soon as i saw this I had to have it! At Ross I found these cute shabby chick blank note cards for only $5.99 for 50! What a deal. So FH & I watched "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" last night while I cute the cards in half and passed them to FH to punch the corners :o) Next I clued 3x5 note cards to one side and added a message at the top that says For the Kitchen of Jessica Redford From the Kitchen of__________ My Best Recipe for______________ Ingredients and Directions below Date;______ I also printed up a little poem to stick in with the invites that reads: To fill it in shouldn't be hard. Jessica might like to try your favorite cake, or whatever it is you like to make. So don't forget this card on this special date. Fill it in now, don't hesitate. At the shower will be a recipe box to fill. So bring this recipe card, if you will. The last picture is what it will look like when all the recipe cards are filled out and returned. I plan to laminate them as well. SOooOoOoo completely different from your standard recipe box but what do you girls think?]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117661 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117661 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:12:00 PST I love how it turned out! It was pretty easy but yet again another L-O-N-G project. First I downloaded the font from dafont.com, Romantics. Printed them from my home computer and cut them to size. Next I cut the tiffany blue scrapbook paper down to size and used my martha stewart cutter for the edges. Next I used double sided tape to tape the letters to the tiffany blue paper. After that I used a box cutter to cut out two notches in each one for the ribbon to go through....and then.... tada!!! What do you girls think?]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117617 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117617 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:16:00 PST You girls have to take the Michaels Cake Decorating Classes.... they're soooo much fun and definitely comes in handy. It was one of my bridesmaids birthday last night so I decided to make her a birthday cake. I wish I had a little more time to get the pink frosting on nice and smooth but hey I think it turned out pretty good for the time I had. Everything is homemade! Buttercream/ whip cream frosting (the best), marshmallow fondant, white cake, with strawberry filling AMAZING!!]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117466 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117466 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:18:00 PST I wish you could see the sparkle in person!!!! It took me F-O-R-E-V-E-R but well worth it!!! I added ivory pearls and crystals. I still have to do the other one.... maybe this weekend.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117465 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117465 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:10:00 PST I know, I know.... they were Tiffany Blue but I decided to add the crackle spray paint to these letters as well. I love, love, love, them!!! I still think I might add a little ivory paint to the edges. What do you girls think?]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117464 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117464 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:03:00 PST I LOVE this sign! I used "crackel" spray paint & can't be happier of the way it turned out. All I have to do now is spray "chalk board" spray paint on the glass so I can write "Fresh Lemonade" What do you girls think?]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117431 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117431 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:03:00 PST I've been a busy bee today. I've gathered almost all the vintage photo's we will need for our memorial table. I can't wait to see all of them together. #1 FH grandmother #2 My grandmother #3 My grandfather #4 FH Great Uncle (Need frame) #5 My grandfather on my dads side (picture needed)]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117181 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117181 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:03:00 PST I've been eyeing the wire hangers for awhile now but just wasn’t convinced that it would actually hold my dress. I found these wood/wire hangers on etsy for $20 and I think it's perfect!!!!! I can’t wait to order mine.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117144 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117144 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 06:41:00 PST How did you & your FH meet eachother? Any off the wall CRAZY stories out there? I heard on the radio this morning that a married couple meet eachother at a mutual friends funeral?!!!! How odd is that? So girls how did you meet your FH even if it's not a CRAZY story please share.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117140 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/117140 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 06:30:00 PST Actor Corey Haim -- best known for 80s films including License to Drive and the Lost Boys -- has died at the age of 38 I loved him in Lost Boys!! The two Corey's were my favorites when I was a little girl. (the Corey in the middle is the one that passed away) All these actor's passing away so sudden is CRAZY!! Los Angeles Police Department confirmed the actor's death to TV station KTLA. According to police, Haim, who had past substance-abuse problems, died at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday of an accidental overdose. He reportedly was found unresponsive at his apartment. He was with his mother at the time of his death.

I plan on working on it this weekend and even though these fonts are very similar I can't pick one. Please pick your favorite.... #1 or #2?]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/116913 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/116913 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 07:24:00 PST Here are some random pictures of pretty funny weddings. Just in case you needed a morning laugh or two... The boob grab is too funny Happy Planning]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/116402 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/116402 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 12:43:00 PST For my bridal shower I wanted to mail everyone a recipe card and have them bring it to the shower filled out with their favorite recipe. Hand written recipes are the BEST! First I need a box to put them in.............. another diy project!!! I can't wait to start this project! Question??? What color(s) should I do it in? Seems pretty simple but my first thought was to have it match my bridal shower theme b/c it will be placed out for everyone to see. My bridal shower colors are light pink with black & white Damask..... ANOTHER OPTION.... our wedding colors of tiffany blue and red, but then it wouldn't match the bridal shower.... OR just red b/c it will match our kitchen? hMMMmmmmm..... I don't.... help me decide girls.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/116304 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/116304 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 21:35:00 PST Here is Kandycelanell's free "thank you" sign she won last week. I hope you like it girlie. If you're interested in purchasing "thank you" signs from me, please email me at jher3381@yahoo.com]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/116070 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/116070 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:16:00 PST Materials for DIY Wedding Programs: - A2 sized folded cards (or cardstock cut to size and folded) - Golf pencils, pre-drilled with holes wide enough for ribbon to pass through - Popsicle sticks, also pre-drilled - Scissors - Needle with a large eye - Corner rounder punch - Double stick tape - Thin ribbon Note: A2 is a great size because there’s room for content, but they’re not so big that they’re floppy. If you go with a different size, make sure that when folded, the programs will be sturdy enough to write on. Designing my programs was a snap with Microsoft Word. On the front, I put the basics - names, ceremony details, and bird graphics to match our wedding theme. To jazz up the back, I came up with three wedding related games for our guests to play while they waited for the ceremony to start: a Mad Lib, a fill-in-the-blank, and a word search. I had tons of ideas for games that I ran out of time to use. How about a crossword puzzle, Sudoku, maze, or connect the dots? Once you’ve designed your programs (making sure to fit the card dimensions), print the front and back onto the outside of the cards. I used my regular inkjet printer and had no problems. To start assembling, open up a card and put double stick tape on three sides. Then put double stick tape on both sides of a popsicle stick, covering about half of the stick. Center on the card and press in place. Close the card, pressing to seal the edges. Using the corner rounder punch, carefully round all four corners. Cut a piece of ribbon that, when halved, is long enough to reach from the end of the popsicle stick to the end of the pencil, while still allowing enough slack to write on the program. Thread the halved ribbon through the hole in the popsicle stick. Use a lark’s head knot to secure. Thread the two cut ends of the ribbon of the ribbon through a golf pencil. Knot the ends to secure, then trim. Here’s the back of a finished program. Word search, anyone? ]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/115887 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/115887 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 08:31:00 PST Some guests are too shy to share their life stories. Help them bypass the small talk and go straight for the good stuff with introductory cards that reveal shared interests or personal triumphs.I really like this idea... I think another DIY is coming on.... When a guest slides out her place card, she'll see an arrow pointing to the left with the name of the person seated there, plus an interesting tidbit (e.g., "Joel was a Connecticut tap-dancing finalist!"). A second arrow shares info on the person seated to her right. This game relies on exact seating, so you will need to assign seats at each table and use these cards as place cards. First plot out your table and seating assignments, and gather information to use on the cards. Bonus points if you can gather two items for each person; this will let you give the people on the right and on the left different information. Download the PDF in the color of your choice below, and replace our sample text with yours. The software will not let you save your modified cards, so proofread carefully before printing. You will have to print in batches of three. Download the gray cards http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/images/ content/web/pdfs/2009Q3/msw_sum09_introcards_grey.pdf Download the blue cards http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/images/ content/web/pdfs/2009Q3/msw_sum09_introcards_blue.pdf Download the orange cards http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/images/ content/web/pdfs/2009Q3/msw_sum09_introcards_orange.pdf Print out the modified PDF onto card stock or heavy paper. To help keep track of which card belongs to which guest, write the name on the back in the appropriate section lightly with a pencil. Cut into thirds between each card using a paper trimmer or a craft knife and metal straightedge (each card should be 3 2/3 inches wide; since the 2/3 inch is not marked on rulers, measure 3 5/8 inches in from each edge of the paper). Then use a corner punch to round off the corners of each card.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/115875 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/115875 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 07:55:00 PST I just love this etsy seller! She's AMAZING. These are going to be our table numbers without the ties. I can't wait to see them in person. I also ordered "Reserved" signs and "Mother of the Bride" and so on from this seller. Can't wait to see them as well. I'm a happy girl :o)]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/115864 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/115864 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 07:00:00 PST I found these pictures on Thebridescafe.com and just loved them. I started out wanting a candy buffet and then sold all my stuff b/c I decided it would cost to much but this is small yet very very unique and inviting. I think I might just have to do a candy buffet again :o) ]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/115785 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/115785 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 18:38:00 PST Where is the best place in Canada to visit? After being on WBC for over a year now I've come to the conclusion that you Canada Brides are AMAZING and have such fabulous weddings.... not to mention your pictures and scenery you post of Canada. I've always wanted to visit but now more than ever. AND who better to ask but my fellow Canada WBC Brides. Just wanted get some suggestions on where to visit and why?]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/115084 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/115084 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 18:29:00 PST I've been having bridesmaid DRAMA lately & wanted to know how you girls (or how will you) choose your bridesmaids? I found this poll on another site and thought it would be interesting to find out from my WBC sisters. #1 I'm mainly choosing friends who asked me to be a bridesmaid in their weddings. #2 I've been swayed by family obligations, so my friends are all out of luck. I had to choose sisters. #3 Forget my own family! I found myself obligated to ask members of my FH's family, ouch. #4 Shhh, don't tell, but I picked my prettiest friends so the photos would look good. #5 Being a bridesmaid requires bucks, so I asked ladies who were flush to stand at my side. #6 Wedding planning is tough, so I chose bridesmaids who I knew would help me with my to-do list. #7 I'm choosing bridesmaids the old fashioned way: picking from among good friends and family.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/115047 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/115047 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:19:00 PST I was so nervous about making this sheet cake for FH's bday party last night. All he wanted for his bday was for me to make him a sheet cake. I've taken the Michaels cake decorating classes but a sheet cake with filling!!!! It turned out AMAZING!!!!! The poker chips are actually hard Royal Icing candies. For the filling I searched and searched for ideas and came up with chocolate pudding with Heath Bars crushed up in it. FH & all his buddies LOVED it and I was so relived.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/114882 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/114882 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:55:00 PST A tsunami advisory has been issued for the coastal areas of California, including in San Diego County. It's the result of a magnitude 8.8 earthquake that struck late Friday night near in Chile, toppling homes and collapsing bridges. 120 people are believed dead. We live right by san francisco.... this is SCARY!!!!!!!]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/114819 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/114819 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 07:47:00 PST If anyone answers this question right, YOU will win a FREE "thank you" (other wording & colors available) sign. I would just ask you to pay for shipping. IT shouldnt be more than $4. FH & I used a similar sign during our engagement picture session. Wonderful gifts after the wedding. Please note: I will try my hardest to match your colors/theme to your sign. Also colors available for letters only come in BLACK, PINK, WHITE, and BROWN. Okay so here we go..... I really enjoyed the candy thrivia so here's another one... What are my two favorite candies?]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/114363 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/114363 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:24:00 PST I have an AMAZING girlfriend that works at the Marines Memorial Club in San Francisco as a wedding coordinator. She told me that I could use these candelabra's as my centerpieces for free!!! WAIT WHAT DID YOU SAY!!?? Yup for FREE! My question is what do you girls think of the second picture? The candelabra just by itself? I would sprinkle red petals around the base and table. Would this be enough? The floral arrangement x16 is over $1400!!!! YIKES]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/114361 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/futuremrsredford/milestones/114361 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:09:00 PST I was so excited to see a package at my door today when I got home.
