We ordered handmade flower seed paper invitations. These area the type that you can plant and flowers should grow. I don't know of anyone who actually tried it. The invitations took a long time to make since you had to tear it and fold it yourself, but I didn't mind. They weren't cheap either. We ended up printing out the invitation part ourselves onto clear paper and attaching it to the invitation with a ribbon. They were very pretty.

For favors we made baggies of Candy blox, which we ordered from www.candywarehouse.com We made over 200 baggies from the 11 lb box of blox.

This was the most convenient location for the dinner, because we had our rehearsal there. It was like a normal fellowship hall of any church, tiled floor, low ceilings. It was made nice with several plants. We got barbecue catered. The down side is no alcohol allowed at church. :(

I got the pink dresses, which were priced at about 180 dollars. It was a little bit expensive, but it was also convenient to have store locations wherever people were. The dresses looked great but it seemed like the zippers weren't well made. It was also really expensive if people had to get alterations to make the dresses shorter because there were about 5 layers of that white shear material (I can't think of the name.)

The food was fantastic. It was presented well and tasted fabulous. She made a to-go basket for me and my husband to eat our wedding night since I didn't really have time to eat anything at the reception. She let us sample the foods we wanted to try. She made up menus for us and let us substitute things if we wanted. Her goat cheese crostinis make my mouth water just thinking about them... mmm.

This church was very flexible and helpful. It was also reasonably priced and beautiful on the inside. It looked kind of like Noah's Ark. They even recorded the audio of the wedding for us.

This building had a great atmosphere. It had a high ceiling and brick walls. Now it has a caterer who is assigned to it. I haven't tried this caterer. The wedding got a little hot, but maybe the AC has improved since my wedding.

Teresa is my mom and she makes wedding cakes for a living. It was great. I designed the cake and it turned out exactly how I wanted it. It was taller than me and my husband and had a fountain on the bottom level. Each layer of cake was a different flavor that I chose myself.

It was pretty fun. We got free shots and there were tons of people there. Too bad there was no karaoke.
