Well it's been a while since I've updated this site!
So much has gone on the last 2+ months but planning is still undergoing!!
Completed:
- Final design of favor boxes
- Makeup and hair trial
- Getting rings resized
- Bought veil pattern to make veil
- Shoes bought and final design determined
Each bouquet has the bridesmaid's name spelt out by the charms. At the back I decorated the stem with sewing pins in the bridesmaid's favorite color :)
Favor box and invitation :)
I got my dress!!!
Bridal Mall at Niantic CT was having their periodic sample sale and I decided to take a chance.
Turned out I left with a dress that actually FITS me and is within my budget :)
I am one happy bride!
Finally got my flowers last weekend and have been working on them. It's incomplete as I still need to wrap them but here is a sneak peek:
I have began my bouquet projects this weekend by buying some silk flowers either on sale or for cheap. I got orange rose sprays for a little over a dollar and 2.5" orange gerbera daisies for $0.59 :D They were 70% off and I was lucky to have found the flowers I liked. I also got some rose with fake dew drops for $0.99 each. Now I just need some larger head gerbera daisies to complete the bridesmaid's bouquets :) And some light blue flowers for mine. Think I'll get the rest from Afloral.com.
So exciting! :D
So here are pictures of my 5 centerpieces and my Save-the-Date.
I want to use photo frames as part of the centerpieces next to my flowers. I want to put interesting tidbits about us on each table to make it interesting and something to do for the guests.
I found out about these frames from other people on wedding boards but found out they don't carry it in IKEA in New Haven.
I was going to New Haven anyways so I decided to stop by IKEA and take a peak at what else the store is carrying that is cheap and that I can use and I saw this easel and some wooden frames that are supposed to go with it as they don't have a backing for a frame stand or for framing:
Those go for $0.99 cents and I think the wooden frames were $2.99 for 3 or something like that. And then I saw these!
They are $0.99 for 4!!! They are about 4"x6" in size and have a heavy duty cardboard as the backing with an attached stands, even though the cardboard don't work very well but since they will be on the table top standing I don't think there will be a lot of weight.
I initially thought of getting the easel to prop these frames on but I might not need to any more!! Awesome deal!
