Wedding everything
Decided to take pictures of everything wedding related in my house and post it
Thought I'd put all the pics I have of my wedding stuff up here.
I mentioned in a previous post that I modeled my table numbers off of a bride on WBC but couldn't figure out who! Found her so I've linked danibanani09 at the bottom of this post. Thanks so much for your inspiration! |

Rehearsal Dinner: DIY Projects
For all the blue, black & white brides out there
Both the FH and myself really loved the tiff/aqua blue color scheme with black & white damask. Despite our mutual love, I went with pink because growing up I was obsessed with pink. I had pink everything form head to toe, and it really defined me as a person, so I just had to pay hommage to that!
Since we didn't get to do blue for the wedding, I decided to do it for the rehearsal. We've asked everyone to dress up in black, white, and aqua and I've already finished some projects. I used damask cello bags and filled them with cookies, got blue napkins and made them squares with ribbon around them and initials for seat markers, and the matchbook mints from etsy. I also have some damask candle holders and a vase we'll be using on the table, as well as black white and blue linens. I'm loving this color scheme so far! |

CHANGING PLANS with a week to go!
Last minute: new table cloths, tbl #'s, monograms and more
If you refer to my last post, you will see a mock up of my centerpice and decor. Well, looks like things are a-changing and there's a week until my wedding! SERIOUSLY getting stressed now. This should make all of you other brides feel much better about your timelines! The following have all occured in the lat 2 days.
Pink organza overlays, 20 ordered on ebay a month ago. After calling and calling seller, her sister in law finlly called us back and told us she was in the hospital and the overlays were back ordered. No overlays. The mother of another bride in the area got in touch with my mom to say we could use whatever we wanted from her damask wedding. We are going to use her custom damask table cloths (SWOON!) and head table cloth & swag (double swoon!). I saw someone else's table #'s, and even though I made mine by hand with a damask stamp and dyecut number, decided to redo them all to replicate the ones I found from the other bride. I wish I could remember who it was, but at this point I'm too stressed to remember anything. Anyways, designed them on the computer and printed them. They have chandeliers on them, which up until yesterday wasn't a part of the wedding decor theme, and now it is! Decided I didn't like our favor labels, so made a simple monogram and printed out tons of new labels for the favors and for around the candy buffet jars. Umm, I think there's more but I can't remember! How crazy is this that I'm a week away from getting married and it feels like my whole wedding is being changed! |

Wedding Decoration
Centerpieces and many DIY projects
I've been up to my ears in getting last minute wedding things down. Still am up to my ears, but I have accomplished loads. I made a "mock up" of my centerpiece, decorated my candy buffet scoops, wrapped ribbon around the damask tissues (THANK YOU pearaholic!) monogram sign (totally forget where I saw the FABULOUS damask with yellow letters on it, but it was beautiful so thank you whoever you are) and other things I can't think of right now as my brain is getting wonky.

Wedding Dress
Got my lace bolero, wish I didn't have to wear it:(
I got my lace bolero in the mail last week. I ordered it from ebay, and with shipping it cost $40 which is a steal. Shipped fast. Thing is, I'm really not looking forward to wearing it. My family is conservative, and believes that modesty in the church for the ceremony is the respectful thing do. I get it, I totally get it, and I'm going to do it to make them happy, but that doesn't mean I have to be thrilled about it. It's just a disappointment because the first time my FH sees me in my dress walking down the aisle, I'll be wearing this lace bolero that doesn't really go with my style of dress. I guess I just had pictured my walk down the aisle differently. I know many other brides who've gotten married in the catholic church and wore strapless, but their uncle probably wasn't the officiating monsignor.
I haven't tried on the dress with my bolero yet, and I guess I'm putting it off because I'm worried about how it will turn out. I just don't want to absoultely hate it. I really have no other options. |

  kids favor boxes |
Ask a Question
What to do for kids favors, age range 2 - 18?
I am having a very difficult time figuring out what to do for my kids favors, and my wedding is 2 weeks away! The favors for the adults are wine bottle stoppers, so obviously we're not going to give that to anyone under the legal drinking age of 19. We were then going to do personalized m&m's or some sort of candy for the kids, but that turned into my mom deciding to do an entire candy buffet for everyone. I am now reluctant to give the kids candy because it would seem like they aren't really getting anything special since the adults have access to the candy buffet as well as their own favors. I was thinking of maybe some kind of personalized cookie? Or fortune cookie? I have these great little pink chinese take out containers that I got for th ekids favors at the dollar store so it would be nice to find something to fit in it. Any other ideas for kids favors that will please all age groups?

DIY Card Box & Table Numbers
17 days to go and about 20 diy prjects left
Ok, maybe not 20 diy projects left, but I do have a lot. More like 10. But that's still a lot.
Card box: Got the damask boxes at Dollar Max thanks to mamajea's blog. I really didn't do anything to exciting, just ribbon around the boxes and plopped one on top of the other and made the neccessary cuts. I could do more, but at this point it's probably the last thing on my list because there are more pressing issues at hand. Table numbers: Got the frames at Jysk....on sale for 2.97 each woo hoo! I've always LOVED mirrored stuff...mirrored furniture is just my fav..so I'm happy to have that incorporated. I then bought pink card stock, had it dyecut at the scrapbook store to all my numbers. I used one of my damask stamps on a piece of white cardstock, and ta da, I've got table numbers! The frames are a bit larger than I imagined, but I really like them ad think they'll make a statement on the tables. |

Thank You card DIY craziness
65 handmade cards = hours and hours and hours and hours
I have pretty much been making thank you cards every night for the last month or so. Ok, maybe not every night, but every other night. I try and set aside a few hours and I usually get 2 or 3 done. So far I've made 30, and I have more than 30 left to do! Ahh! But I have been happy with how they've turned out. As I do more, the better I get, and the more I like the cards. I don't like my first batch at all anymore! Haha. Oh well, I'm not redoing them! I'm getting married in 19 days and have waay too many things to do!

Wedding Decoration
Peeked into someone else's reception to take pictures of the lovely damask-ness!
After meeting with the wedding coordinator at our reception venue, we found out that someone I know through somone was having a wedding August 2nd using the same theme (black & white damask with hot pink). I sort of know the bride, and I'm an aquaintance of the mother of the bride. We asked if we could come a few hours before the dinner started to check it out and I was truly blown away! The MOB is in the interior decor business, and took over planning this whole wedding and truly made an absolutely stunning reception. Black candelabras, mirrored table cards, alternating coloured favour boxes, luxurious flocked table cloths...ohh I could go on. It makes me want to rethink everything...centerpieces & decor, for my whole wedding!

  My fav cover Payless shoes Martinez Valero shoes Christian Louboutin     |
Hot Pink Wedding Shoes
To splurge or not to splurge
I am absolutely IN LOVE with the cover of this months Brides magazine, and I want to get a photo just like it. Me wearing hot pink bow shoes. The pair on the cover are Christian Laboutins....drool worthy for sure, but not very budget friendly. I really don't have much left at all in my budget, so I've been trying to find something similar for a lot less. I found a pair by Martinexz Valero at www.endless.com and they're $132 plus shipping. I also found a pair at payless.com for $22. I'm so torn whether or not to shell out that last little bit of cash, or if I should just save the money and go for the cheap ones. I know 132 bucks isn't nearly as expensive as the Laboutins, but it's still a lot, especially considering Ive already bought and paid for 3 wedding dresses.
Also, there are NOT the shoes I'll be wearing all day or for the ceremony, as my FH isn't super tall, he doesn't want to be the same height as me so I'll mostly be wearing flats. The pink shoes will be for maybe 5 pictures, me on my own and me with BM's. |
