So I debated back and forth over a few dresses. I thought I had my heart set on this one:

and then I came across my dream dress - I absolutely fell in love for the simplicity of the design and the train - it is completely detachable!

I ended up having this dress made - however with minor changes to the original design - including crystals on the lace motives and a border on the front of the dress. I absolutely love her and I cannot wait to wear her!!

I wanted to ask my MOH and BM's to be part of my day in a special way - so I did these quick little cards in Illustrator that identified the colours of my wedding right on the front. Inside the cards I wrote why they were each special to me and why I wanted them to be part of my special day. I also bought them each a copy of "The Everything Bridesmaid Book" as a cute keepsake and gave it to them with the cards. Needless to say - they all said yes!!

I ended up going with the gold version of these shoes as they were nicer than the silver ones in store.

I came across these pre-arranged bouquets at Pier 1 and thought they looked ever so pretty - especially since they had peonies which I really wanted and knew they wouldn't be available in September. They were also in the right shade I was looking for (with the exception of the super dark rose). I also bought this Baby's Breath type filler so that I can re-arrange the bouquet - take out the dark pink rose and open them up a little with a few beads and ribbons.

My Target is to look something like this (came across this online somewhere)- but with the different flowers.

The larger candle would sit in between my FI and I while the smaller candles would sit in between the bridesmaid and groomsmen.

We will be using the following candles for the guest tables:

I have been looking out for these branches for ages!! I thought I would have to settle for other not so great branches that would do the job! However, on a stroll with my fiancé this evening, we walked into this florist and I was estatic to find these branches that will be used for our Wish Tree! I'm sooo excited! I just have to look out for a super cute vase now!

Here is the Wish Tree sign I created - I found the words online from another Wish Tree sign and thought it was kinda cute!

I finally got the letters for our cake made - I was able to order them from a signage company rather than ordering them online (too $$$$) - I'm planning to fix a few hot crystals to make the letters pop a little more. Here's the Before shot:
