Such a romantic ring, like when I was a kid and tied strings around my finger as wedding rings.

Now for the collective oohing and awwing.

Yes. It says Diva.

Also, I'll be able to save on the hors d'ouerves, since everyone will be busting some maad moves.

I've always said I was a draq queen trapped in a woman's body.

These have me 100% decided against using cakes as centerpieces.  Perhaps I'll use peacock feathers as an accent? 

Now I need to find out how to get the lit vases for the feathers.


Also, the feather motif works well with bouquets...

Current Mood:	Fabulous.

I am not going to send "save the dates"

I can't justify sending double invitations.  Instead, I will send out invitations shortly after I pick a date. 

I will, however, send out cool magnet date reminders with my invitations.  Cause those are so neat.  

Anyways, no pictures with this post, or anything else cool like that.  Sorry.  

I'll let you know when I decide on invitations. 

Actually, this guy's pretty good.  

And this one too.
Possibly as the recessional, if the first is long enough for me as well.

The best thing is that whatever favors are left over, I get to keep and eat.  Yum!

Current Mood:

mmm... chocolate

Come to think of it, I love that dress too.

And here are some of my favorite works of his, which will of course feature *me*

                                                                  

Of course, in real life, I'll probably just get a college kid with similar tastes and a photography major.

Also, I think I may modify the bridesmaids dresses to have a sash like these, instead of the tiny blue ribbon.

Here is the bridesmaid dress.

It will be a tea length, not a knee length, and the maid of honor gets a dark blue one.

And as my gift to the bridesmaids, I will make these necklaces.

The bridesmaids get dark blue / black pearls, while the Maid of Honor gets the light pink ones pictured. So pretty! Those are crystal rondelles in between the pearls.
I'll make the earrings too (pierced). Why not? They can match.

Only mine will have a very light pink chocolate coating with dark blue swirlies painted on, and dark blue ribbons.
None of this froo froo flower stuff.
And a silhouette of a couple as a topper.

I am thinking one layer chocolate (for my momma) one layer chocolate chip, one layer red velvet, one layer wedding spice, and possibly another layer. I love layered cakes.

Now the dilemma. I saw an idea for a cake as a table centerpiece, a la this.

Naturally, mine would feature fewer gaudy flowers, and would match my wedding cake pretty closely.

So.....

Do I do the matching cake on the table thing?

Happy voting, I'll see you at my wedding.

I'll also have gardenias, as a point of pride. What wedding doesn't have at least one gardenia?

This will, of course, necessitate that I have a throwing bouquet. I think that this is too easy. I'll just get a bunch of cheap flowers and tie them up with lots of tape.

Possibly this is why I am not engaged.
