This is howardswife2be's Blue Wedding!

I like the way this looks, but want it in white with the blue hydrangea flowers not the purple ones. This is very expensive but may ask a family friend to paint this design on a cheaper runner.

How many brides are using Runners for their outside wedding ?

I thought these would be nice instead of clinking on the champagne glasses.

Or my friend Jen's brother just got married and her brother stood up and said If you want us to Kiss then you have to sing a song with the word "love in it". Everyone had a blast.. So may copy his idea on that one If he lets me :) .

When howard first took me to copper falls I was in awe it was so beautiful..I thought someday I want us to be married here. Although we cannot get married in the exact spot overlooking the falls we can take pictures near that site. Alot of rules at state parks I have found but Im glad that they will allow us to be married here. We are both nature lovers!!

Our invitations we have found and they are something that Howard will love... I ordered the sample and I actually liked them alot. It has a picture of a doe and a buck.. All in white/ivory. They are very pretty.. Howard is a hunter and we are getting married outside.. so I thought this would work nicely..

This winter we are making roses out of satin blue and light pink and floral tape and floral wire and the leaves. So we get to sew 100 of them for the bird seed to go into the tubes. They are so pretty when they are done. I bought the floral basket already to place them in. It will be fun for me and my bridesmaids thats for sure. perhaps a little frustration as well. We have made roses but with candy on the inside but not these. I am sure we will have a few trial and errors lol.

There are so many cakes .. And they all look beautiful.. I am not sure yet on the cake.

I still love this boquet.. the blue will be a different shade but love this boquet still.. Very unique..

The other pics are of our trellis that howard is making us and my bridesmaid flowers..

Well we have changed our color due to the inability to find the right shades for our favors, flowers etc.. so they are now Cornflower blue..

this dress is from impressions and it looks wonderful on heavier set ladies.... the gal at the bridal shop said Julie try this dress on and I wanted to take it home with me. This dress comes in 30 different colors and it goes up to a size 32. I loved this dress and finally the gals loved it.

howard proposed to me the day before easter... and of course i said yes. Howard and I have both been married before. He is 7 years older than I. And finally we found eachother and when we first met he took me to the Madeline Islands, ashland wi. I had never been there before and he gave me a single rose which was beautiful. Then we took his vehicle across on the ferry and spent the day walking and enjoying our time together. I felt like I had known him my entire life. I think that was the day that I knew we would be together for a very long time! Howard treats me like a princess.. He spoils me alot.. which I have never been used to. I was in some really crappy relationships that were unhealthy and FINALLY i found the ONE.. We are both older and wiser.. And i know that we will be together until death do us part. He is my best friend and more!

My best friend Cheryl's daughter Brandy is a fantastic photographer, she recently won an award that was judged by the people from sports illustrated she has been in the business for only two years now and she has reached her goal of opening up her own photography studio by her 30th birthday. I am so looking forward to her taking our wedding pictures.. And as a surprise she is taking pics of me for howards bday as well.. ssssh dont tell .. lol

this is my dress.. i fell in love with it when i tried it on.. I only have to make 3 adjustments. One in the halter straps, so its not so lose. And the train needs 3 bustles for after the ceremony. and the other is to shorten it.
