Almost Here!!
Secret Santa Time :)
Hi Ladies! This is just a reminder for those of you who have given your interest in participating in the WBC Secret Santa thingy (couldn't think of a better word). Also, this serves as an opening for any of you who are interested in participating, but have not signed up yet. Here is a recap from the earlier post:
In all the busy-ness of wedding planning, we sometimes get away from taking care of ourselves. One of the best things about this forum is that everyone can relate in one way or another because marriage is the common factor. With all that said, the holidays will be here before we know it, & I am wondering if anyone here is interested in being involved in a WBC Secret Santa! Because we are ALL on a budget, the restriction will be that the total price spent must be less than $10. Including shipping/handling. Make use of coupons, Sales & Dollar Store, Bath & Body Works, but please don't skim on quality! Be creative! If you are interested, please leave a comment here, & I will convo you privately for your address. I know we all LOVE to receive packages in the mail, so why not receive or give something extra special to someone from WBC! Deadline date for all interests will be NOVEMBER 20, 2009. Once you have your Secret Santa recipient , please have their gift in the mail by DECEMBER 5th, 2009 (we want to make sure gifts arrive on time since holiday mail can be crazy). Let the FUN begin!!! If you would like to participate, please either leave a message here for me so that I can email you (don't display your personal email address here. I will go to your profile & contact you privately). Or, you can contact me via email on my profile. All who are signed up by November 20th will receive your Secret Santa Girl by November 21st! By now, everyone who has left me a message should have receieved a reply with further inormation from me privately. If you have NOT, please contact me asap. Happy Holidays |

Bubble Tags
Check!
Who knew that bubbles would make me happy this week! I ordered these bubble tags from Etsy (the same sweet seller who did our Unity Candle, Domestic Divas Fancy aka Ashley Nichole Designs). I have about 30 bubbles from another bride that I am going to put in the Kids' Goodie Boxes. We are doing all things polka dot for the kids, so I went with a round scallop tag to fit the script. Its a little hard to tell, but the tiffany paper is a really pretty shimmer with crystal embellishments(not that the kids will care).
The kids will blow their bubbles while the adults light their sparklers at our exit. |

As you guys know, it's been a pretty sober 2 days on my page since receiving the news on Marta. I'm still feeling like she'll email me later tonight. In moving forward, I talked to FH about adding her name to our table of lit candles for the Memorial portion, & although he didn't know much about Marta, he is more than willing to honor her with our other lost loved ones at our wedding.
So, this post is intended to be a little lighter...I just wanted to share with you guys some of our Reception Signage teasers! Unpredictable Bride is my new fetish!!! She is just awesome. She did in one night the work I was waiting from another seller to complete in two months, lol. I have much moreto share, but this is just a taste for now until I print & assemble the rest. It's quite a bit, lol. PS, dont be caught off guard. we incorporated a little peach into our reception signage, but nowhere else. the color looks a little closer to teal here, but that's the only way it prints in tiffany blue for me. xoxo |

Gifts
And Their Tags :)
I've missed you ladies! Special Thanks to those who emailed to check up on me!! You guys are the best!! I am fine, I just have been so busy with social projects & engagements that have consumed ALOT of my time! I've been doing alot of decor work & presentation things per request, which is a great thing right now. Anyhoo, I have LOTS to share with you all, but I can only share a little at a time because I need to get my Blackberry camera in order since my regular camera is so bootleg right now :) The pic that is attached now is from the Seller Jujubee(Etsy). She is awesome!!! I will be using these tags for some of the honorables at our rehearsal dinner. They are going to adorn medium sized gift boxes, with tiffany blue ribbon. After I finish getting all the gifts, I will post the finished project! |

Feeling Peachy :)
Wine Bottle Labels
So, I have been working with Le Ink Coquette on Etsy (They are FABULOUS) to fine tune our wine bottle labels (sparkling cider) for the toast. They did such a beautiful job that I've decided to have them finish our reception signage for consistency.
By accident, the designer trimmed our border in peach, & as it turns out, I LOVE IT! I didn't think I was missing a color from our already Tiffany Blue & Gray palette, but the peach looks beautiful & adds a soft, but modern touch that I haven't really seen. So, we're not majorly changing our color palette, but we will be including the peach in more subtle touches in signage, as well as a peach signature drink. Probably some type of frozen-non alchoholic drink. I found these blingalicious wine bottle holders at ZGallerie, only cheaper at Hobby Lobby. We will have a bottle at each table for the toast. I will post pics of the bottles in action after they are all labeled. xoxoxo |

Custom VISA Gift Cards!
For Select Participants
So, I've shared with you guys our Wedding Party's personalized totes, Survival Kits for two of my neices and the satin hankies for our moms, but we still have much more to do. I wanted to give a monetary gift to a few key people on our Wedding "Team". Who dosen't like money, right! So anyway, we will gift these personalized, fun, VISA gift cards (spends just like Debit/Credit) to our Soloist, Reader & Photographer. Our Photographer is a very good friend who isn't asking for anything, but we know we need to pay her for her services. Instead of a plain check, or ordinary gift card, we opted for something that is more "us".
You can also make your own, or choose from a great selection of predesigned gift cards for $5.95 (fee) at www.giftcardlab.com. You can load anywhere from $10 to $250. |

Chair Signage
His & Mine :)
I had made some damask chair signs several months ago, & somehow they got wet & the ink started running, lol. So...I contacted Decadent Designs on Etsy awhile ago, & they created a Tiffany Blue with chandeliers & lace chair sign for both my FH & I. The signs are great...only problem is they came in bent. Seller sent me bottom cardstock for me to redo myself :( but it's stuck on pretty well, so I'm leaving them as is!

Bouts
Chic Magnolias
Glam It Up Toppers (Etsy Seller) took on the project for me to create & complete our bouts for the gentlemen. I made my own for our Banner Bearers (not pictd in this post). They also made several bouts for our 2 Groomsmen, our dads, the Ushers, the Soloist, etc.. Each bout consists of rhinestone crystals, tiffany wrap, magnolias, & guinea feathers (you can barely see in pic). My grooms bout is minus the guineas, but has white feathers & white russian netting. The Seller is awesome, quick & incredibly kind. |

Candy Wraps!
Thanks so much to fellow BUSY bride-to-be, Tobemrsf for her help on this project for my mini Hershey chunk wraps. When I saw her completed project (pictured), I wanted to have some in an apothocary jar or platter at the reception for our guests. Even though we're not having a candy buffet, I will have damask mint matchbooks (also pictured) & chocolate for guests to take with their favors.
I love the way our wraps turned out & I will make a few so you you guys can see the final look. |

Ask a Question
Got Cake?
If you are having cake or cupcakes at your wedding reception, what flavors are you planning to have? I want to get a good round about idea of what our guests would prefer!
Most of you know that we are having cupcakes, & one cake to cut. Our cake will be strawberries and cream. The guests' cupcakes will be red velvet with cream cheese frosting, white/vanilla with buttercream frosting & strawberries and cream. But what are you guys having? I also love lemon, carrot & chocolate cake but really don't want to have more than 4 flavors offered. |
