This is stammlindsay's Pink Wedding!

I am so glad we did this for the kids at the recetion. We had glow necklaces, coloring book, construction paper, crayons, candy, a dvd player with movies, etc. The kids enjoyed it and wore the glow necklaces throughout the night. They also really loved the candy buffet!

These tables were scattered on the dance floor for our guests to converse around and listen to the band. They were really pretty at night. We had pink sea glass in each vase and a large white flower. We lit them with floralytes so the glowed beautifully.They worked really nice for our guests and they were used throughout the night.

Instead of a guest book we used a canvas. I had it displayed in the entrance of the country club with some pictures. We had lots of nice comments and messages written on there from our guests. It was fun to read it when we took it home.

These were taken when we decorated. They looked even prettier at night with all the candles lit and we had floralytes in all the vases so they glowed really pretty.

Everyone enjoyed the candy buffet! We used pink and white for our candy buffet colors. We had to go boxes to fill with candy; most all of our guests took one. They really enjoyed it. These pics were taken the day we decorated, it looked really pretty at night; the glass vases and crytsal tree sparkled!

We had a cocktail h'ourderves reception and it was splendid. We had a live band, drinks (we had peppermintinis which were a huge hit), food, 2 characturists, a candy buffet, a dessert table, and lots of loved ones. It was perfect! Everyone had a lovely time and we received so many compliments from everyone on how wonderful and different everything was. We truly enjoyed ourselves!
Click to enlarge pics, they are much clearer!

Just thought I'd finally post some pics from our wedding. Everything went wonderful. I could not have asked for a more perfect day. Happiest day of my life!
(if you enlarge the pics they are much clearer)

A picture of my wedding bouquet. The pictures shows up fuzzy but if you click on them to make them larger they are much clearer. The flowers turned out really pretty. Everyone was commenting on how pretty they looked.

I saw an idea similar to this in a magazine last year and thought it was so cute. I made everything for it a while ago but just put it all together this last week. I thought it turned out really nice. It will be displayed on an easel when you enter the reception so our guests know where they are seated.

So I had my first major Bridezilla moment last night and I think I am okay now. For now anyways. I have so much nervous energy now and I am having a hard time relaxing. Anyone have suggestions or ideas to calm my nerves?

I never gave it any thought until someone recently asked me. Are all of you wearing your veil at the reception or just at the ceremony?

I made these for our ceremony. I am going to have them as you enter into the church or at the beginning of the aisle. They turned out really nice; but I think they are prettier in person. And it's hard to tell by the picture that they're almost 5 feet tall.

I had a trial for my hair last Saturday. I need honest opinions please!
Please let me know what you think.

I finally ordered this the other night. My wedding is in less than 2 months this winter. I definately need this to stay warm. I think it will look really pretty in the outdoor pictures we will be taking.

Just thought I'd post a pic of the church we belong to and will be getting married in. This is the only pic I have. The church is beautiful. You can't tell in the pic but there are 2 sets of steps leading up the front. We are having our ceremony at night so we are lining candles up the steps to the entrance. The inside of the church is so pretty. It has a tall arched ceiling with lanterns that hang down and an 80 foot long aisle. It is really dramatic and pretty!

The first 3 pics are the bridesmaids gifts they will get for standing up in the wedding. These will be given at rehearsal. Each bag has a robe, frame, candles, soap, and drawer sachets. The 4th and 5th pics are the baskets we are giving to the moms and stepmoms at the rehearsal. Each basket contains a robe, frame, and a bottle of wine. Pics 6 and 7 are the gifts for the bridesmaids for throwing the shower. I got them each an ivory wrap and a bracelet to wear for the wedding. (Not pictured) I also got the moms each a large jar soy candle for helping with the upcoming shower.

This pic turned out like crap. They threw their dresses on real quick and I just wanted to post a pic of them. They are beautiful dresses and they look really pretty and flattering on all the girls. The pic does absolutely no justice.

Just wanted to post a pic of my mom's dress for the wedding. We ordered it through Nordstroms. It looks so pretty on her.

I finally made my crystal tree tonight. I am very happy with how it turned out. It is going to be the centerpiece for my candy buffet table. I have extra crystal strands left so I need to come up with another idea of what to make with the extras.

When it comes to all the planning and money involved, what does your fiance think. I think my fiance thinks I am crazy. He never realized so much planning went into a wedding. And my addiction to wedding websites and blogs have him thinking I've lost it. As far as the money I'd have to say once again he probably thinks I am crazy. But he continues to let me do as I please. He just wants me to be happy. I think he mostly agrees to keep the peace. Are you all driving your fiance's crazy? Do they think you've lost it? Do they think you're spending too much money?

So, I've got everything for the kid's table. The centerpieces are shown in the pics. I purchased glow sticks and necklaces, coloring books, construction paper, crayons, a few other things. This should be enough.

So I got my led candles in the mail today. I think they will look really nice on the church steps for our evening ceremony. However, I am going to order a bunch more tonight. I need atleast triple the amount I got.

I just ordered them yesterday. We will take our picture with these( like shown in the first picture) and turn them into cards. We will send these out for our thank you cards after the wedding. Picture 2 is what my signs will look like. I think I might do them in black and white. Is anyone else doing this? Any cute ideas?

Enlarge the picture to get a better idea of what they actually look like. These tags will go on the bridesmaid's bags I am putting together. The second picture is the back of the tags where I wrote short notes to the girls.

So I bought a bunch of pink and green glow necklaces and crayons and coloring books. I still want to couple more things. Any ideas? Nothing messy!
I thought feather boas and tiaras for the girls maybe. I might also have a dvd player with movies. Don't know. We are having a decent number of kids in different age ranges. Help me!

I'm thinkin about these to go on our signature cocktails. What a fun touch!

I don't know where I will use this look yet but I will. It is so pretty.I want them to be really tall and sit on the floor in an urn. More of a tree than a centerpiece. I have a few places it will work, I just have to decide where.

So November 15th the guys in the bridal party are spending the day paintballing and go-karting and stuff. So, while they are doing this I am having the bridesmaids over for a spa party. I am having a Body Shop consultant come over and we will use spa products. I am alo hiring a massage therapist to come to my house and maybe a nail technician. I'll have snacks and drinks. Then later that night I am going to hire a limo to take the entire bridal party out to a Hibachi restaurant in a nearby town. We will be doing this instead of a bachelor and bachelorette party. I think it will be a lot of fun!

Our reception is from 8pm-12am. These are the h'ourderves we are serving from 8pm-10pm:
-smoked salmon
-bleu cheese meatballs
-pineapple chicken kabobs
-bbq meatballs

Do you think this all sounds good? Does it sound like enough to choose from? What do you think?

My wonderful bridesmaids are throwing us a couples shower. It will be Sunday October 19th at 11:00am. They are going to serve mimosas, bloody mary's, and a wonderful brunch. Does anyone have any neat ideas for a couples shower? (things to do and etc.)
