{wedding} Cardigan

Since we're having our wedding in October, I'm sure I will need a sweater once the sun goes down. Wouldn't this cream wrap beauty from Anthropologie be perfect?

{diy} Wedding Curtain Tent

Here's my inspiration... sorta.

We went to Ikea over the weekend and picked up 6 packs of curtains.

They look like tulle. They will look perfect for our "Open Air" tent that we are making for our Reception. We found tulle bows at the dollar store to accent the curtains.

I have been saving these little Martinelli's apple juice jars to store all of my sewing supplies, ie: buttons, safety pins, and small spools of thread. I have like 10 left over so I started brain-storming... and then it hit me! How cute would these little jars be slightly filled with glass beads or sand and place a single flower or a candlestick and place them in a row down the center of your table...

Inspiration Board

Here's my take on my Inspiration Board for my wedding, using the colors from my Color Board.

Recession Music

I can't think of a better Recessional than "All you need is Love" by The Beatles. The beginning is perfect to grab the attention of your guests and the song is obviously all about Love. I think it's going to be a perfect song to end our ceremony on a high note!

Much Anticipated Invitation Suite

So, let me give you a little back story as to why we chose "bikes" as our theme for our Wedding Invites. Ted loves to ride his bike! Everywhere! I, on the other hand, was never a bike riding kinda gal. That's until I met Ted. He enlightened me about the beauty of riding bikes. No gas money wasted, getting exercise and most of all, spending time with loved ones! Who wouldn't want to ride a bike? It was very tough at first... I mean cursing anything that stood in my way, wanting to punch Ted for making me do this awful thing he called bike riding... but as time went by and as I got in better shape, it (I can't believe I'm saying this) actually became fun and I now understand why people love it so much...

So without further adieu... I now present my DIY invite suite!

Fall Wedding Alternatives

Create a very inexpensive centerpiece out of grains and dried grasses

Have your Flowergirl scatter dried leaves in place of petals

Mixed Nuts

{Martha Stewart Weddings}

This is a great budget-friendly idea for a snack right after a Fall wedding ceremony. A personal serving of mixed nuts. Perfect!

My Old but New Love

2007 Spring Lucien

Oh, Claire Pettibone, you really do create some of the most beautiful, dreamy, romantic dresses I've ever seen! My heart just melts when I look at this dress! Too bad it's not made anymore, and even if it was, I couldn't afford such a beaut! Hmmm, do I see daring to attempt to recreate such a task?
