Most Painful Centerpieces Ever

June 13th, 2009 by     


Whether or not the decision to make my own centerpieces was a good one has yet to be seen. So far, I really like the way they’re turning out, my hands though, are TORN UP. I’ve only made 4 and I had to stop and take a break.

In order to save money on my bluebird wedding, I am resorting to hand making as much as possible. Thus far it seems to be paying off. Flower arrangements on every table really ad up quickly and it really is just out of our budget.

I am currently, however slowly, handcrafting “nest” centerpieces for our tables. The Country Club has hurricane candle holders that we are free to use and I am taking full advantage of. For some reason, I’ve always loved hurricanes. The club day-off coordinator Chris was even nice enough to let me take home a base for measuring purposes!

Back it Up Now…meeep…meep…

April 21st, 2009 by     


Sorry for the title, but that is what I was saying in my head… you know how the trucks make that noise when they are in reverse?? anyone??

Ok, so what I wanted to do was back up to the beginning… I’m talking pre-engagement, pre-ANY-vendors, right about the time I learned of this amazing world of wedding blogs… and etsy!! Two amazing finds right?? Well, it took no time at all to get turned out to Miss Myra over at Twigs & Honey. Before I knew where we were getting married (ok, we had a couple ideas, but nothing was finalized), before I knew what my dress was, before I had even thought of my hair, ladies, I knew what my boutonnieres would look like!! No jokin’, Myra’s bouts were my new found obsession. Her collection of simply spectacular creations was the inspiration behind my first inspiration board… oh, who am I kidding, it WAS my inspiration board…
