Our wedding day was so beautiful. It came and went in a blink of an eye. The countdown to our 1 year anniversary begins!!! So much to look forward to ;)
Please let me know if I have used your pictures so that I can credit you. I gathered a bunch of pictures and didn't think to keep track of where I pulled them from. Thanks for the inspiration!
Light Peach... Champagne ... Shades of cream... and a touch of Blush.
I fell in love with this place as soon as I set foot on it... Pictures just don't do it justice...
When I tried on the dress it was a few sizes to small (my girls are barely covered in picture below).
Now that my dress has arrived and I lost 20 lbs. it is floating on me. Stay tunned for pictures of my fittings.

I drooled over these cake toppers for about 6 months and finally placed my order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WMforever I love your cake :P
Here is a preview of what my centerpieces will look like. The flowers are a little different in this picture. It will contain a litttle more peach since most of our linnens will be white. I had the stand specially made in Mexico.
It was so fun meeting the SD ladies!!

Favors/Photobooth:
My favor is a little twist on the photobooth. I am doing custom flipbooks. These aren't the kind that you send off for, the vendor comes to the wedding and sets up a little booth and records about 15 seconds of video. They convert the frames to pictures and put them together in a flipbook. Closer to time, I will meet with the vendor to create a custom cover for them similar to what's shown.

Put the Guest to Work (:
My addiction to lurking wedding blogs is taking over my life!! I don't think I've ever worked so hard or so fast to get my actual work done so I can peruse blog, after blog, after blog, etc...
Today I came across the idea of a photo scavenger hunt at the wedding. It sounded cute, fun, && interesting. I figured if we print the "photo ops" in the programs, guests will see them, && maybe want to participate?! Good thinking, right?! RIGHT! I figure we can offer some type of incentive also, like a prize [to be given after all submissions have been uploaded to our Photobucket account && judged, of course (:].
The scavenger hunt will have a poem similar to this:
"Use your camera & look around,
Hunt for those pictures that need to be found!
Shoot away and complete the list,
Find
moments the photographer may have missed!"
So here is a list I found, stole, then altered to fit:
• Bride & Groom holding hands
• Groom watching Bride from a distance
• Bride & Groom first dance
• Mother of the Bride not crying!
• Wedding cupcakes/ cake being devoured
• Someone making a toast

For my emergency kit...
Thank you brianne2009 for making my 1st set of monograms... in my original colors ;)
One of my best friends, & bridesmaid, made dinner for a few of her
friends. As we waited for the movie to start, I walked past the kitchen & noticed Anthony opening a bottle of wine. Five minutes later I walked by again & he was still standing there struggling with the bottle. I
asked, "Do you need help with that?", & hoped that he would say no since I had never opened a bottle myself. For all those that know him well... He said, with a very cool tone of voice, "No, It's almost open". Later he
confessed that in that moment he become so incredibly embarrassed that he felt his face turn red. A week later I attended a Fraternity event, the Gentlemen's Auction...
while I sat in the audience... in came a motorcycle from the side door. It was like a scene from a movie... Completely unexpected & a bit irresponsible... he did that trick where the motorcycle is still but
the back wheel is spinning & the rubber from the tire is burning. He was wearing blue jeans, a black motorcycle jacket, & helmet. I told my friend, "If I had a thousand dollars, I would put them down right now. No
questions asked!" He took off his helmet & there was the guy that couldn't open the bottle of wine... it was him... it was Anthony! It turns out that some unfortunate girl bought him for $200... & in
college-dollars, that's a lot! ...Anthony paid no attention to her & hung out with me the whole night. Sparks flew at our Big Bear trip, late one night, under the shinning stars, in the
Jacuzzi sitting on the porch of our cabin overlooking the lake. It took about two hours before Anthony gathered the courage to ask if he could kiss me. Ever since that first kiss, time has flown by. Four years later we are engaged to
be married. He is someone that I truly respect & love. That night brought me an unexpected moment, a perfect kiss, & a perfect
man. I see myself growing old with him.
The keys to The House were finally in his hands. After so much work and so much frustration, he finally had them. The house was his...
Meanwhile I was at home packing away and getting ready for the BIG MOVE. My hair
was frazzled, I was wearing no make-up, and my clothes were raggedy "moving clothes". I looked around to see how much work I had ahead of me and realized that it was going to be a long day when I heard the doorbell... I
stood quietly by my bedroom door listened to see who it was. To my surprise it was Anthony. I was pleasantly surprised since he was supposed to be at work. The second I saw him a big smile came over
my face. Rare are the moments when he can get out of work early. In fact, they are the complete opposite where he usually gets out and the surprise dinner I prepared is already cold. He was dressed a bit nicer than
his casual blue jeans, white tennis, and witty t-shirt. He had a certain handsomeness to him. He said that since I had been working so hard, and since he was out early, there was a
cause for celebration... a nice dinner. My response was, "What?!? You're not a spontaneous person... but I love it. You should be spontaneous more often"... We were out the door in five minutes.
On our way to dinner we stopped by The House to get "measurements for the
appliances". I thought it odd that we would stop there first... Without thinking before speaking I yelled, "you got the keys, didn't you?". I said it but didn't really believe it. When he stayed quiet I realized that I killed his
surprise. He seemed a little sad that I knew but it went away when he saw me yelling out the window celebrating like a madwoman. We pulled up to the driveway and Anthony tried to hand me the keys. I told him that
he worked so hard to get this and that he deserved to open the door for the very first time. He looked at me and in a very sincere manner told me that he wanted me to have the honors. Although I strongly felt that it was
his right, I felt his sincerity and took the keys excitedly. I opened the door and the first thing I saw were roses and champagne. Thinking back, I'm not sure what I was going to say but as I turned around to look at him
I saw him getting on one knee. My body lost all sense of gravity and my eyes filled with tears. He didn't get a single word out before I was on my knees, sobbing, and with my arms tightly wrapped around
him. He let go of me just enough to look me in the eyes to say that he would be honored if I would be his wife... and held me until I could breath again.
My Favorite Christmas present from FI... I wish he could be my ring bearer

TheBlueBride: Garden wedding decor... in the mail... on it's way ;)
lcullen: VS tank & Veil for bpics
pigsfly: white fans... I need to take a picture of them
earmansgirl: rafia fans... I need to take pictures of them
These were originally going to be my centerpieces but I had a change of heart. They are not fancy enough. Instead I’m going to use them in the garden areas surrounding the Reception Tent.
