Not jumping on bandwagon but....
I do love the sky lanterns since
***UPDATE - Resort wont let me do this so sad.............. I have been researching this and really would love to do it, for any of you who know me and are familiar with my blog you know with me getting married and having reception on the beach this would be ideal. I have wanted to do this for months but in the run up to the wedding and the whole fiasco of having to go to the US to get my wedding stuff etc.. and lots of other little stresses I just never got around to researching it. I have now however my only concern now is whether or not the resort would approve of us setting these off even though they are made of rice paper and are biodegradable, and I will only be letting 50 go, they only go up so far and light for 10 mins and with us being right on the coast they would in all likelihood end up going to sea. Still not sure if the resort would let me do this though and it will take up to 6 weeks for a reply from them there. So I wonder then would I get them in time? Whats a girl to do I think it would really make the day though and be such a beautiful thing to do. Everyone write a message on their lantern and let it go altogether. I originally wanted to do this years ago when I saw the movie "The Beach" with Leonardo DiCaprio when they all did it........do I take a chance and get them? In all honesty I dont have that kind of money to be throwing away in the run up to Christmas as it is, its stressing me out I have sooo much left to do and we are leaving 4 wks after Christmas so I am stressed out again at the moment. Let me know your thoughts! |

The rose ceremony
Idea given to me courtesy of 304jami74
"The Rose Ceremony is simple yet profoundly moving. The bride and groom exchange two red roses, symbolizing the giving and receiving of their love for each other throughout their entire married life. The Rose Ceremony also conveys how to use the rose and its symbolism in difficult times in order to forgive each other. "Your gift to each other for your wedding today has been your wedding rings - which shall always be an outward demonstration of your vows of love and respect; and a public showing of your commitment to each other. You now have what remains the most honorable title which may exist between a man and a woman - the title of "husband" and "wife." For your first gift as husband and wife, that gift will be a single rose. In the past, the rose was considered a symbol of love and a single rose always meant only one thing - it meant the words "I love you." So it is appropriate that for your first gift - as husband and wife - that gift would be a single rose. Please exchange your first gift as husband and wife. In some ways it seems like you have not done anything at all. Just a moment ago you were holding one small rose - and now you are holding one small rose. In some ways, a marriage ceremony is like this. In some ways, tomorrow is going to seem no different than yesterday. But in fact today, just now, you both have given and received one of the most valuable and precious gifts of life - one I hope you always remember - the gift of true and abiding love within the devotion of marriage. _________ and _____________, I would ask that where ever you make your home in the future - whether it be a large and elegant home - or a small and graceful one - that you both pick one very special location for roses; so that on each anniversary of this truly wonderful occasion you both may take a rose to that spot both as a recommitment to your marriage - and a recommitment that THIS will be a marriage based upon love. In every marriage there are times where it is difficult to find the right words. It is easiest to hurt who we most love. It is easiest to be most hurt by who we most love. It might be difficult some time to words to say "I am sorry" or "I forgive you"; "I need you" or "I am hurting". If this should happen, if you simply can not find these words, leave a rose at that spot which both of you have selected - for that rose than says what matters most of all and should overpower all other things and all other words. That rose says the words: "I still love you." The other should accept this rose for the words which cannot be found, and remember the love and hope that you both share today. __________ and ________, if there is anything you remember of this marriage ceremony, it is that it was love that brought you here today, it is only love which can make it a glorious union, and it is by love which your marriage shall endure." |

  cold feet |
Ask a Question
Am I getting cold feet?
I feel really strange, before I start I love my Fh with all my heart but I dont know where all these other feelings have come from or how it started. Am I getting cold feet as the day is approaching and therefore these are kick starting other emotions? Im not sure, I cant sleep I feel like Im going crazy......Im having dreams that Im having flings with our male friends, find myself kinda fantasising about other people which I know is wrong and I dont need anyone to tell me that. I dont know whats wrong with me. I think since Ive lost weight and look and feel better that our male friends are being kinda flirty with me or something if that makes sense. For over a year I was out of the social scene as I was so sick with my pregnancy and then after I didnt feel the best about myself. We are the "party" couple and felt really cut off during this period as we didnt see anyone when we weren't out and about but now we're back in the swing of it. I also think half of it is because I feel like FH doesnt make an effort with his appearance with me which in a way bugs me. I bust my ass to lose weight and when we go out I make this effort and get ready and not let him see me until I am ready to get his reaction which normally works too but at the end of the day it would be nice if he did this too. Its like he doesnt care or something I dont know all I know is that I feel like Im cracking up and now I feel like one or 2 of our close male friends are weird with me in a way I dont know its hard to explain but I just feel so confused and not myself at the moment. I cant sleep at all Im not getting to sleep til about 4am tossing and turning and then when I do sleep I dream about being in relationships with other people. Even my ex (my eldest daughters dad) is all nicey pie and flirty with me which is very strange as we tend to want to strangle each other at the best of times. I invited him to the party we are having when we get back (I am close to his mom and his brothers one of them are the groomsmen as he is FH best friend - confused?) and he says, he doesnt know if he could go as he doesnt know how he would feel about it, if he'd be upset etc.. sob story bull. I feel like Im losing my mind. I dont know why Im posting this as it makes little or no sense to me as Im writing this but I need to vent and get it off my chest to lighten the load at the moment. Help. |

Black flowers anyone?
These are pretty cool, directed towards the goth bride but I dont consider myself goth and think these are pretty cool. They are silk painted roses with a 2 month creating time. Each bouquet costs $35 plus $10 shipping. Prices differ for multiple orders! You like?

  White feather fan Give you an idea of size The bridesmaid dress Bridesmaid hair (minus the scarf & shades) Bridesmaid shoes Ceremony site - gazebo Or a bouquet of white tulips (my fav) in a purple stem wrap?        |
Ask a Question
Feather fans or bouquets?
This is the question, I am not really a huge lover of flowers (shock horror to the regular bride I know). This is me though. My bouquet is included however in my wedding package so I want a purple one with maybe a little white in it or white stem wrap (bridesmaids are wearing purple) and I wanted my bridesmaids to have either white bouquets with a little purple (or purple stem wrap) OR as I am incorporating feathers here and there I could give them white feather fans as pictured. What do you think? Its a destination wedding I will post the wedding ceremony site so you can get an overall feel of what I am going for so you know they are not having white feather fans in a church or anything like that. I am really undecided on this one. I am not sure if they would like it but it wouldnt kill them to hold it for a half hour or so for the ceremony anyways I have bought the dresses, shoes, jewelry, will be paying for hair & make up and a bouquet would be at least another $60-75 each at the resort depending on what I wanted I guess. So anyway I need your honest opinions please! THANKYOU! All honesty greatly appreciated!

  INSPIRATION PIC you see where the moroccan lanterns run the length of the long table here with butterflies and votive candles here and there - thats the effect I want The moroccan lanterns which I have in large and medium sizes (with purple pillar candles inside) The mini lanterns (white) which I have was going to put 2 on each individual table along with everything else. My purple table runners which wont run the length of the round tables but I have 7 and they will run the length of a long table? The bling cameras for each table also The votive candles but mine are purple with purple candles My votive candle holders (Purple ones) These are my placecards (the white male ones and purple female ones) Where would I write names on these? any ideas? My purple personalised napkins (they look very dark in the pic bad quality picture) The white butterflies I have for tables (also have some purple) The beach where the reception is held Table set up (on a gloomy day) with the ROUND tables (will have purple bows on the chairs) A long table set up on the terrace (would this look good on the beach?) Another wedding reception being set up on the beach Beach reception at night with round tables (we have paid for the lights under the tables, the large lit flags surrounding tables also)                |
Ask a Question
Advice on tables PLEASE
Ok so I need help, for those of you who are familiar with me and my posts. You know that I am getting married and having the reception on the beach. I bought all the centerpieces (lanterns & candles etc..) myself and purple table runners etc.. My dilemma is the inspiration pic that I love (main pic) is taken from a very long table where the table runner and lanterns and candles run the length of the whole table (rather than on individual round tables) The tables on the beach however are round ones (also see pics). I tried the set up on a similar table (alot smaller at home) and it didnt really work for me. The table runner is going to be too short on those big circular tables and Im not sure if the resort would do the one long table on the beach as they normally set it up in such a way that people can dance in the middle with the tables surrounding the dance area. They do set a long table up in the terrace area (see pics) but I want the reception on the beach am not budging on that one. My thing is though with having a really long table will it be really impersonal and everyone be shouting for air - where would we (the bride & groom) sit then? Yet my centerpieces seem to work better on this kind of set up. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Have attached pics so you can see what I mean.........Thanks (again!) On an individual table there would be 1 large & 1 medium moroccan lantern (with candle inside), 2 mini lanterns, 10 purple votive holders with candles, some butterflies & feathers on the lanterns, the cameras with camera scavenger hunt directions with feathers attached, the napkins (on plates) and the placecards (still not sure where to write the names here). I have put them all in the pics so you can see and wrote what the problem is underneath so you get where I am coming from! |
