cake topper |
Cake
Cake Topper=Fully Crystal Monogram
So I found a new DIY project--that is if I can find the perfect materials.
So we were talking today about the cake and the cake topper came up. My FH is dead set on having our inital on top--and since I ♥ that idea I decided to try and make it since I have such a long time till the wedding I think I can knock it out...because the ones I've seen are great looking but the style of the letter I dont really like--so I will just have to create my own. But after reading fabulousmrsklein's blog about her cake topper--now I'm not so sure. But I am going to try and if all else fails I will just have to buy them already made. So the hunt is one for the perfect letter as well as the pink crystals to put on it. Here are some pictures that inspired me (side from fabulousmrsklein's blog). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I found these pictures on: www.weddingcuts.com & www.topperswithglitz.com/ Wish me luck♥♥ tags: caketoppers

Monograms
Finally tried to tackle this task!
So I really wanted to make my own monogram....and played around with a few ideas. This week has been so crazy--I bought this software from bestbuy that looks like it will wrok but havent had time to install it. My step-father passed away this week and I havent been all that involved in wedding plans. However tonite I finally sat down and popped some monograms out....what do you guys think?? Hopefully once I install the new program I can make some better ones. I ♥ the last one.....

DIY
First trip to craft store
Ok so after about a month on this site and seeing all the amazing things all the other brides have made--I decided to make my own DIY list--and I have alot on my list but am so excited to start.
So today I went to Michael's craft store (after dying to go for about a week already--and finally talk my sister into going with me). Walking in I could already feel my mind running into a hundred directions. My first target was looking for a paper to do place cards, table numbers, and other printing on--no luck :( Then I decided to focus on two projects that have been on my mind for about a week--the hanging monogram and centerpeices. I bought all the supplies and headed to the wholesale flower shop to buy some flowers then home........wish me luck and I'll post pictures after I am finished!! *UPDATE* I stayed up late last night doing these too projects & I ? them!! Here are the pictures......be honest--how did they come out?? I ? them--for them being my 1st diy projects (ever) i think I did an ok job.......now I'm SUPER excited:) tags: diy

Wedding Planner?
To have or not to have?
With my wedding a year awayIve started with a lot of little projects and planning already! We have almost everything bookedexcepted a cake but I wasnt considering getting a wedding plannerbut my FI seems to believe that I should look into getting onebecause he thinks it will start to be a lot on my shoulders as the date gets closer! I was wondering how many people are actually having wedding planners and what was the deciding factorfor youto hire one? For those of you who didnt hire onewhy not? Im personally on the fence about this issue!! Id love to hear everyones opinions!!
* If your wedding date has passed and you didnt have onedo you think your wedding would have been different with one? If so why? Thanks in advance!! tags: wedding planner

Bridesmaid Card! |
Bridesmaids
How did you ask your bridesmaids if they'd be a bridesmaids/ maid of honor?
I've finally took on the task of asking each member of my wedding party to be apart of our special day. However I wanted a different and unique way of asking them, so I am on a mission to find such a way? I've seen the cards; which are cute and I have decided to make my own (on of my DIY projects), I'm planning on ask them (all in a group) our for a sunday brunch and I will present them with the cards. Hopefully they say yes! I'll pose pictures of my DIY cards later on today!!
I was just wondering how everyone else asked thier bridesmaids and maids of honors if they'd be in thier wedding party? tags: bridesmaids

Bridesmaids Dresses
Final Decision
I finally found the bridesmaids dresses! Since I love all four of them--I've decided (thanks to other brides opinion) to have my bridesmaids wear any style (of the four) just in the same color (watermelon).
They will also have tulle exposed at the bottom of the dresses (the last picture is an example) also the dressed might be shortened (we are not 100% sure yet!!) tags: bridesmaids dresses

Wedding Dress
Bugdet or no budget?
I seen a lot of blogs about budgets
..I have to admit we dont have one!! And I dont mean that anything goes; we do have a limitnothing outrageous like $5,00 for flowers but what we feel is descent
.is anyone else like this or does everyone have a set budget.
As we searched for reception sites we found that the site alone was (for example) $300 an hour but that didnt include nothing. Food was about $17.00 per person; alcohol was $25.00 per person and that all adds up after we walked bout we were looking at $13,000 (approx.) just for reception site, food and alcohol. To me thats outrageous!! However the site we booked is wonderful (a steal actually) however Ive down a lot of shopping around and even found flowers within a reasonable amount. |
