DIY Wedding
Monogram letters
late post - I finally finshed the monogram letters! I glued moss to the letter and then glued hydrangea florets to the letters......a lot of work, but worth it!

DIY Wedding
Favors are done!!
Finally my mom and I finished all of the favors!! We are having a garden theme wedding so I saw this great idea on Martha Stewart for favors, but took it a bit further than she did in the show.
I purchased Nests - two types of moss and boxes that would fit the nests. My mom and I spent a long time making these. We did little at a time and finally were able to get all of them done. The final thing to do we had put the almonds in the nests, closed the boxes and wrapped the box with a blue ribbon - we had two different shades of blue and then I labeled each favor with all of our guests names. ~hope you all enjoy~ |

Wedding Cake
periwinkle vs. sky blue
Alright, so 3 more weeks until the big day - trying to finish last minute details and all...so it's been quite hectic.
the issue of the hour - well it seems The Eccentric Cake Diva thinks that sky blue is the same color as periwinkle. My wedding planner has tried to explain to her that they are not, but she insists they are....hmm........I don't want a periwinkle cake. Yes the photo I have posted is how we want to cake to look with the exception of the PERIWINKLE!!! So what am I doing? I am going to home depot - getting color swatches and going to NYC to drop them off to her.......man the things we go through to get what we want....... I am just venting.....thanks for reading! |

Ask a Question
Place cards
What is everyone doing about place cards? Are you doing a place card for each person attending or are you going by couples/family?

Ask a Question
assignments
What are you all assigning your maid of honor/bridesmaids with?
My wedding planner suggested I utilize them for as much as possible? But in all honesty not even sure where to start? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! |

Wedding Dress
2nd wedding gown for reception.
So I have been toying with the idea of having a 2nd gown (tea-cup length) for the reception. My idea: photos, ceremony, cocktail and 1st hour of reception will be in my beautiful gown. Then once dinner is done, go up to bridal room and change into my 2nd gown and enjoy the remainder of the reception in a comfortable bridal gown (not that my 1st gown will be uncomfortable but it will be heavier and the bustle will most likely be an issue). What is every one else doing? Is anyone doing two gowns??
Input would be great! Thoughts appreciated..... The picture on the left is the dress I am thinking of it's $130 dollars and I think instead of an ivory satin sash I will buy a sky blue one so I can have some color on the dress. |

Bridesmaids
Gifts
Hey lovely Brides, so I have two *yes two* maids of honors - they are my two closest and dearest friends and I couldn't just pick one or the other so I gave them both the job.
Well with that said, what is everyone getting their attendants? Any ideas?? |

Ask a Question
Uninvited guests.....
OK, so I have been receiving rsvp's and so far every thing has been good - everyone is responding accordingly. With the exception of 1 member of the family on the groom's side. Some background - this woman came to my bridal shower 2 and a half hours late, she literally showed up with her oldest daughter, ate (more like scarfed down food) and left taking a ton of food with her home! Yes.....a lot of nerve...and I am being 'kind'.
Anyways, this same person who I had put down for 5 people to attend my wedding has responded with 7 people!!! It should be her, her husband and her three daughters - no the daughters need to bring their boyfriends!!!! Now after the way she disrespected my mother and me at my bridal shower I have very good sense in not inviting he at all, but that is not how I am. Do I tell her that her daughters can't bring their boyfriends? Hugo and I are paying for most of the wedding and we really can't afford another 2 heads........after I spoke to groom's parents about the whole situation they insisted on paying for the two boyfriends. I explained to them that that was not the point, the point is have some decency and RESPECT!! Do I let the in-laws pay for these to free-loaders or do I say NO??? Any advice is greatly appreciated..... |
