Wedding Decoration

Some recent ideas I've found for the Gazebo

SInce we decided on our ceremony location I've had a lot of second thoughts because they want so much money for literally a 20 minute ceremony. We have to pay for a ranger to be there at $70/hr., a required 4 hour minimum(how convenient) on top of charging the guests $10 to go in the park, on top of the like $400 just to have the ceremony there... all of this for a State park. California sucks! lol

Sorry for the rant above, I just find it ridiculous how much places charge just to use the site. Robbing people just because it's a wedding. Anyways I came across a wedding blog with a the wood branches bent into a heart shape for decor. I fell in love with the idea of a hanging heart and decided I want one, but instead of branches I want to find drift wood that can be shaped into a heart. The only driftwood heart I could find online was the one I have a picture of, but I think I just want 2 pieces of driftwood so you can see the ocean through it still. What you girls think??

Also fell in love with the parasol ideas I've seen. I love the thank you ones that people have used, but I think using it in the sand as a sign seemed really cool to me... but I'd definitely be making this myself... I've seen some prices and OUCH. I've seen some how to's on printing and tracing fonts... so maybe that will be what I'll have to do. If you have any how-to's on this I'd love to have the link(s)!

I included the pictures of the gazebo we're getting married in and also a picture with a beach wedding... I'll be hanging fabric/tulle in greens and oranges, possibly black from the gazebo as well... And don't forget the shepherd hooks holding my kissing balls lining the aisle!


:0) I'm getting excited all over again!
