I would love to hear them! I will also try to answer any questions that you may have especially for the brides-to-be out there. =)
Happy planning!
CUPCAKE STAND
Inspiration: Fall/rustic cupcake stand.
Reality: DIY cupcake stand by my awesome husband. We had a hard time looking for just the right fall/rustic cupcake stand that will not look have a triangle or Christmas tree shape.
So we've decided to make our own and this is the design we came up with. I love it! I didn't have to worry about getting all the cupcakes on differnt stands.
- cupcake stand is 42 in. round. We put it on a 48 in round table.
- has 3 tiers
- tallest tier/platform is 12 inches high
- garland and lights (orange and purple) around the whole stand and around the pillars
- fits about 120 cupcakes including the spaces on the three wood slices
- the stand is covered with fabric
- the pillars are covered with burlap fabric and fall garland
GUESTBOOK TABLE DECORATION
$20 + $4 shipping, pay thru Paypal. PM me if interested.
- Wood slice, three bottles with flowers, new candles - everything you see except the picture frames. (Still have to replace the candles but I bought a whole pack and only used those two in the pics).
Here's how it was at the cocktail hour.

BOLERO/SHRUG FOR SALE!!
I bought this bolero because I thought it was going to be cold on my wedding day (October 30th) but the weather was perfect and I never got to use it! This would have been perfect for my dress. Anyway, here's a picture of it from the Etsy seller.
Bought at $74 and selling for $60 + $4 shipping (US only). International brides PM me and I will check the shipping cost for your location.
We initially wanted an orange and green wedding but we realized that it was becoming a very Spring color. And then, we thought of having a Halloween wedding and went nuts about it, LOL! Here's one of the links I found while searching for some Halloween inspiration -

It gets crazier and I can't do it! LOL! We realized we didn't want to have a costumey wedding. So since we both love the Fall, we went with the Fall theme and included some elements of it. The colors we decided to use are orange and aubergine. Aubergine is very hard to find. We had to go to the Garment District in Dowtown LA to find that color for the fabric for my MOH and FG. Those were the only times we were able to use aubergine, the rest were different shades of purple.
This is where I got the aubergine/orange idea:

After a long brainstorming on the design that we want, we finally made our invitations. We've gone to bed at 2:30 am for five straight days! But that's only because we usually get home around 7pm, have to make dinner, eat, rest, and probably start at 8:30ish pm. Well, here they are - finished and sent them out on August 3rd, 2010. Yay!
My fiance used the illustrator to design and the Silhoutte SD to cutout our logo. The papers we used were from different stores - Paper Source, Michael's and Office Depot.
Everything was made from scratch including all the envelopes.
