A few of my items may be private. Be sure to send a friend request to view my entire page. (alot of my inspirations are from brides/soon to be brides just like you and pictures via The Knot. If i forget to give credit where needed i appologize.) Happy Planning!

Ivory Peacock Wedding Theme

                                   Teal. Eggplant. Ivory with touches of grey

 The Villa

Update: My Toss bouquet: large hydrangeas, roses, faux sticks and grapevine ribbon. Brooch from fabulousbrooch.com

BM: purple gerbera daisies, ivory ranunculus, ivory peonies, ostrich feathers, and the green and white berries

Update: Mothers bout.

Update: The Groomsmen have a cream peacock feather, an ivory millinery leaf, dried flowers, a champagne pearl, and the stem is wrapped with a champagne satin ribbon and my fiance has teal. Update: Finished Product (GM's) (right-Fathers Bout.)

Update: My Bouquet: ivory hydrangeas together with Ivory and Deep Blue Peonys. Embelished it with Natural Greenery and coordinating blue feathers.

Ring Box: the ringbox was custom made by an amazing etsy seller. The ribbon is wrapped in teal with deep purple hydrangea floral design and grey text writing along the top.

Update: Flower girl basket

We were thinking something similar for our gazebo. Love the draped fabric! White Ostrich feathers will line the aisle chairs. The aisle will be lined with white or ivory and purple freeze dried rose petals (petalgarden.com)

Decorated infront of the gazebo will be 4 white pomanders(kissing balls) two 10" and two 6"

Update: Here are the tags for that will go on the feathers (back of chairs during ceremony)     

Update: Finished Programs.. Love them! :)        Program Basket

 Card box:

Wish Tree:

Update: Finished wishing tree sign. We purchased this stunning white ostrich feather pen to use for the feathered wishing tree tags.

Wedding Cake Martini                                  

There are tons of ways to make this drink, below is voted most popular. I may have to do a few taste testings :p

• 2 fluid ounces vanilla vodka
• 1 fluid ounce cranberry juice
• 1 fluid ounce pineapple juice
• 1/2 fluid ounce amaretto (almond flavored liqueur)
• 1/2 fluid ounce white creme de cacao
• Pour the vodka, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, amaretto, and creme de cacao into a cocktail shaker over ice. Cover, and shake until the outside of the shaker has frosted. Using  water dip the rim of a martini glass then coat the rim with powdered sugar.  Strain into a chilled martini glass to serve

Bar Flowers: Peonys, Roses, Greenery, and Ivory Berries. The handle is Eggplant with an Ivory Sache and a Pearl/Diamond. Both arrangements will be placed in two white milk glass vases

FI and I are only serving one entree choice so a menu card is not really necessary(IMO). I thought it would be nice to throw in a little substitution.

Instead of Menu Cards                 Sweet Heart table sign

Update: Finished Product

Table Numbers: Update: Finished Product

Centerpieces- Mixture of Phalaenopsis Orchids, and Hydrangeas for our tall centerpieces. The vases will be 18'' and have a string of Orchids in the center. Phalaenopsis Orchids, Hydrangeas and ranunculus for the short centerpieces. -centerpices will be a diy project using real touch and silk florals.

Update: Mock up of tall/short centerpieces- white orchids, purple hydrangeas and white ranunculus

Update: The yellow center of the orchids was driving me crazy! It seemed like i was looking more at the yellow then the actual centerpiece display. Project in works: paint the orchids white. (below-attempting to paint the center of the top orchids) if this works out the way i hope, the finished centerpieces will be purple hydrangeas and white orchids

Update: Finish product. Flowers are painted and no more yellow!!

Mikasa Avenue cake and pie servers

For our flavors FI chose: Strawberry Grand Marnier - Gold Cake with White Chocolate Mousse and fresh strawberries... OMG soooo good!!

The other flavor I chose: Lemon Citron Torte - Gold Cake with refreshing Lemon Mousse
