Our Actual Wedding Day
www.amieandjaye.com
This was my planning board and boy did it come in handy. We live 4.5 hrs away from of wedding location. I was able to perfectly communicate my floral desires with my florist through this blog and was able to show many members of our family what my plans were.

All the planning in the word will make you day go as smoothly as possiable, but it's your loved ones that may it happen at a DIY event. Everyone really stepped up and helped with everything from the decorating to the cake cutting to fixing my bussle that didn't hold. They went on last minute runs to town and covered up little mistakes some of the vendors made. I heard many stories this last week. Everyone did a great job helping make our day as perfect as possiable.

And thank you WeddingbyColor - your site is a great asset! You should advertise this site for destination brides. What a great tool to use to communicate your ideas!

See the pic/video link on www.amieandjaye.com to see our wedding pictures. And thanks for all the great ideas! The funny teeth were a huge hit!

Jaye's mom has his aunt's fountion (base is brown - we'll wrap it in tulle) - Jaye's mom will pick up chocolate.

I already have plates/ napkins/ sticks.

I need to pick up the dishes and food stuff for it. Should be easy! Small plates or tiered??

We'll use a big bubble bowl for our guest book - i'll have little black squares and a feather pen and note near by. I'll then use these cards in a scrapbook in the future along with the words of wisdom from my shower

Ask a Question
How to hang tulle down aisle?
I'm not sure how to attach the tulle with flowers to little white posts/rods that we will push into the ground for the wedding. I know I can gather the tulle using florist wire or rubber bands and attach the flowers the same way. Any ideas on having the tulle attached to the rods? We are getting married on an island in the St Lawrence River - it will probably be windy.

We're going to have a couple flowers and 12" - 16" burgundy and pink ribbon hanging also. And have rose petals in the bottom of the tulle for color.

I don't want it on the brown metal folding chairs - it will get in peoples way - plus they are the cheap old school metal chairs - with the half solid backs - not much to work with.

We're going to use this tulle that runs down the aisle as the entry for the reception tent also.

Programs
Done - thanks mom!
I'll have to post a pic of them. They are cute and were very easy to do. They get the point across without a lot of fuss.

One program per party, not per person. - I'll need less than 50.

Folks can share - but I want them to have a clue when where to participate - so programs are a must. And the basket is coming from mom's house.

Red Florist - Name list for Flowers Per Aunt Sue's request - she'll be pinning them on and distributing the flowers. She's a retired florist. Aunt Sue requested that the florist lable each piece with a name to make it easier for her to distribute.  http://www.graysflowershop.com/  THANKS Vinny, you made this so easy for us.   By the way, I love orchids.   I'd take orchids over sweet peas anyday!!!!  :)   We'll drop off the pins for the flowers on Wedneday on the way through.   Gray

Tulle and floral or greens for isle
I would like to run tulle up the aisle on both sides. I talked with Shane from Boldt Castle- this is fine to do.

We'll use small white stakes, since they are in the black and white photo to the right. I want the tulle to hang almost to the ground and be full!

With some small floral with pink and burgundy ribbon hanging (have).

We should be able to use the same decor for the enterance to the tent. (the ground is really hard there though)

we have square mirrors - but I don't think I'm very to use them. The more I think about it - they just seem kinda old school to me. Though, I'm all about lighting and they do reflect light. huh??
