joshmari21409's biography
WE ARE MARRIED!!!!!!
P.S. More photos coming very soon I promise...I get my CD any day now!
After a long road trip...70 % of rain storm....our parents almost not coming....and no fire permit we made it and it was all worth it. So many people were so happy for us and everyone kept saying how great everything was, how happy and in love we looked. My favorite part of the wedding was the ceremony the priest did an awesome job!!!Everyone was in tears and it was all worth it when I walked outside to our song everyone said AWWWWWWWWWWW! I will never forget our special day!
(scroll down on my bio and you will see more pictures! I will fix this page once pw is working again!)
A huge Thank you to all the PW Ladies...especially our very own Jamie (AKA HOLY MOLY) her bio was our main inspiration she rocks! and of course to all the ladies ideas, opinions, and comments...Hubby knows of my addiction to you all....lol and I really would not have been able to pull this wedding planning thing off from texas without all of your help!
(P.S these were our thank you cards! with our monogram inside)
My FH and I have been going out for 4 months when he asked me to marry him( hey when yor know you just know) and I insanely in love said yes on our V-day celebration date...which had to be on the saturday of the week because I had to work :( on v-day... we kept it from everyone for a awhile until he made the big move to Houston...now am in a loving relationship in a new city...at a new job....in a new home...while still trying to plan a wedding in Los Angeles that is 4months away....thank you project wedding for existing!!!!!
(these were out STD's , many said they were super cute)
Our Wedding Ceremony & Reception!
(on a side note..one thing I really regret is that I didnt take any of pictures of the tables myself...and that I didnt move quicker to get a fire permit that candles would have made a huge difference!)
Our Inspiration the Invite !
these our inviations that I order!!!after much planning on a traditional vintage (gold, ivory, red) theme wedding my FH found these and sold me on the black,white, red modern vintage theme instead!!!"
Planning from Texas !!!
we will be getting married and having our reception at the Brookside Golf Course in Pasadena...totally affordable and am planning hard on making it the most romantic night ever!!!
For the ceremony since we are getting married in a glazebo am hanging sheer ivory curtains that I got from Ikea and these do it yourself heart wreaths (I will post pic later my camera not working right now!!) I made fourteen
10 in. ones and one large 20 in. for the middle.
Update:
The mock up of my walk up to the asile there will be more petals but because I dont want to clean I only did half...lol also a white runner. My tia is making us the heart wreaths I havent seen them but am sure they are lovely!
For my walk down the aisle I purchased luminaries from save on crafts.com to line it with light like picutre #1 (we are getting married at 5pm the sun will be going down by then) but they are plugg in ones so I will cover the wire with red rose petals...I will post pics later
Update:
SO we did our detailing and the tables will be dressed like this:
I know I know its not what we had discussed but Josh didnt like the black on black. My sis made up the mock up and she said it looked very elegant and tux like so I trust her and all in all I like the way it looks! (Dont picture the flowers ours are red)
Our Venue looks similar to what the pictures are above. We are planning on th linens to be the same as pic 3 but with the ivory covers with a black sash and black table linens but with red chargers and red flowers and candle lit dinner !
Our theme is Modern Vintage!!!Our Colors are BLACk, RED, and IVORY with a little bit of glam!!!!
Up to this point I have not shared with you our rings! Here are some great shots of them!
Our Wedding Attire!
The Bride and Her Gown

Dressing Fittings!

You will feel like a princess!) it will be in ivory and with a sweetheart shape top I wanted something modern and vintage but had to go with the traditional I LOVE IT!!!! plus for under 700.00 I cant go wrong!!! I will wear my moms veil and red shoes to dazzle! (my something new) .Update!! once i got my dress and try on the other jewerly I knew it would not go so I changed and bought this combo for 20.00! my garter from esty.com!!

these are the bridemaids dresses and they are going to look sexy and chic!!! also from David's Bridal!!!
the flower girls dresses are so cute I plan on putting some rinestone brooches I bought at claries for 8.00 on the side of the waist to make them glam! our ring pillow I wanted something different and found it online and bought it.
Update:
The flower girl dress I didnt like at all it was gold not cream so I went shopping at dillard's and found this dress and I DIY Flowergirl basket like 4.00each ( I made two). Also the pillow well I got it and the heart is purple not black so I sent it back got a pillow from walmart 7.99 aand DIY I will post picutres later
Josh will be in tux #1 but with ivory underneath to match my dress and the guys along with my uncle will be in the classic black tux of #2. all with red roses!!
Our Wedding Cake!
Josh and I love CAKE! It will have table decor the cake overall appearance of the cake will look like cake #1 but with black ribbon on every layer and the piping of cake #2 on every other layer the flavors will be coconut cream with white cake(top layer), mocha cream with chocolate (second layer), chocolate mousse with white cake(third layer), and chocolate fudgewith chocolate cake (bottom layer). Our Cake top will be our initials J & M that was a DIY project and I dazzled with black/diamond and red crystals all for 20.00. (stay tune for pictures) we got our letters we have to paint them black and they will spell out AMOR
c
Update:
This the design Josh mocked up for the Cake lady to use but the detailing will be the picture above.
This is also our AMOR letters thanks to HMM for her ideas ( her cake table kick ass so I will try to copy it)
This is my DIY topper I love the blinged out ones but I was not about to pay 50.00 for one so our is more like 1.50 I hope it doesnt show! (the heart is red okay not orange like the pic dumb old camera)
Our Wedding Details! (below our pictures you will see our inspirations and plans)
Our Placecards Our GuestBook
Our Programs (provided by our Priest)
Our Favors
Detail Inspiration!
Our place cards will be black with a ivory overlay pic #3 that will display the name and the table number will be displayed inside a red heart on the corner and when you open the card it will say Happy Valentine's Day! inside stamped in ivory metallic ink!
Our Guest book (screw the tree I thought it was overrated so I change it) a scrapbook will have enevlopes for guest tol write their Valentine Day love notes to us on heart shaped ivory cards from papersource they will place them in the enevlopes and we will always have V-day cards to read on V-day. they will find their place cards on a table that will have rose petals, candles, and pictures of us and our parents similar to pic #1 and pic #1.(can't decide on a round or square table.
Update:
Okay so here is the mock up of our placecards I will use real cardstock for the names but I use reg paper for practice. Re-thinking the heart and I like the inside message not as clean as I would like it but its nice.
Our Guestbook (another DIY Project that I had fun making)I wanted a black book but Josh made me get red :( this is why... I knew the reds would not match which really gets to me so I may buy black ones now...all in all I like our guestbook its unique and something our guest wont expect!
These are how our favors will be but ours will have a heart shaped sticker on top that will read Josue & Maribel ( inside will be chocolate kisses) bought 200 from efavor mart for 30.00.
Our centerpieces will be just like these but ours will have all red flowers, roses, dahilas, and tulips with berries they will also have tall broken glass votive candle holders instead of the short ones similar to the one on the last picture.t (our tables will have three). I love the photo shots of the last page!
Okay these our reception flower centerpieces I like them we will add the long votive candles on the table for dramatic light!
Our Wedding Flowers
for the ceremony i will wear my hair up with flowers but not sure if they should be dahlias or roses in Ivory color with my moms wedding veil (something old)
My bouquet will look like this but with red dahlias, red roses, and red tulips and no green stuff..yuck!!! I will have red berries and it will be wrapped in a ivory satin ribbon with a heart pin and my mother in laws wedding necklace (something borrowed)
My BM will have red roses, and red dahlias but with a Black satin ribbon and either a rhinestone pin or soemthing with there first intial or I might put pictures in tiny lockets of each BM I'm not sure yet!!!
For the boys on the left and maybe for the programs and flower girls on the right!
