New Take On Centerpieces
I had to soften up my centerpieces...so here is the new and improved version. It's still simple & natural, but at least it's not boring anymore.

The low down- the middle vase is from the $1 store.
The side vases are $2.95 each from Crate & Barrel.
The LED light is $2.50 from 100candles.com.
The floating candle is 3 inches wide- lasts 8 hrs- $3 100 candles.com
Orchids from Michaels- no one will touch them in the water to know they are not real.
Orange clear votives- $3 for 6- I dont remember where

Now what to do for table number??

Ask a Question
OVERPLANNING??? I THINK I HAVE BEEN
WBC Ladies,

I just wanted to share my revalation with you all. I've come to the conclusion that there is such a thing as overplanning when it comes to my wedding. After a long engagement, it's taken its toll and now that I'm 7 months out from the big day, I'm going to breathe.

Something is bound to go astray- hopefully its a small something, but it's just ONE day. And as long as I am Mrs. G standing by Mr. G...it will all be okay.

So, I just thought I would share that although we are paying for our wedding and I am a DIY Bride, it will be okay. The overplanning is unnecessary.

I'm giving myself permission to be human, to be me, not only an engaged soon-to-be- bride...planning every second of every day.

Letting go is feeling good.

Great Template Print Out
I can share- I just changed the header and the colors. Let me know if you want me to send your way, WBC ladies!!

This is a little something to help my sister, the MOH- she's only 17.
She can just jot down all the gifts here for me- make the thank you cards easier to write.

Question- Is 14 jars enough for 120 people?
I'm a DIY Bride, but I have picked up some really cool jars in the last year or so- good thing about a long engagement.

Do you think 14 jars is enough jars for 120 people???

I'm asking my mom to pick up 2 huge glass bowls for chocolate truffles.

Love Day Is Every Day
Wine, chocolate, the new Sade cd & an adorable card ...not too shabby for folks saving for a wedding.

My love got some clothes, a goodie bag & a mushy card.

But we had each other... it's nice to know we always will.

A personalized tote with their name on it.

Creme Flip Flops for late night dancing.

Jewelry- pearl studs with a pearl & silver bracelet- initialed for each BM.

Creme pashmina to match their BM gown.

I'm going to stuff the tote with creme and orange tissue paper.

Also- thinking of getting them wine and making a custom label...but have to see if the budget allows.

Feedback? Too much? Too little?

Signs For Our Sweetheart Table
While I was at it- I made these- for the back of our chairs at our sweetheart table. I'm going to add ribbon and a pearl pin- to attach to the seats.

The template is basically the wedding invitation's design- as a border.

We are all about a low-key affair. The scenery does all the work- 80 acres, a lake and a great venue. Hopefully, Chris & I can just show up and be happily pronouned husband & wife.
