Ribbon Send Off

So rice and bubbles are out... just not my thing. I wasn't planning on doing anything but the more photos I see the more I feel we would be missing something if we didnt have that.
We aren't really doing a send off since ceremony and reception are at same location... so maybe people could do it as we are introduced as Mr and Mrs for the first time?!
They will make for a cheap DIY (yay more on my to do list), they are clean and I can always sell them to recoup some cost when finished :D

Something BLUE

YAY! I got my something BLUE. Thanks to Ellen of LyonsCreations.etsy.com
She made me these wonderful little spiderlings which Im going to sew onto my shoes :D
LOOOOOOOOOVE THEM!

Center Piece Mock Up - DIY

Here they are almost finished - just gotta get some dried moss or something to cover the top so you can't see inside and there will be fresh green apples scattered around the base :D

Also as you can see in a previous post the lantern part will be lit up by an LED light - love these and they were sooooooooooooo cheap to make!

Name Cards

I saw these cute little bird place cards here so I thought I would attempt to DIY my own with the same bird I used on my invite. Im still unsure about them as I also like the idea of using an apple and pinning a leaf shaped paper onto it with the guests name.

Invites

I just realized I never posted the finished invites

Here they are!

Groomsmen Attire Revisited

Well I have had NO luck finding apple green dress shirts but I think Will is FINALLY coming around to the idea of Brown Dress shirts with Apple Green Silk Ties. I think it will coordinated nicely with the girls cause their dresses are brown and will have a green sash!

This is the ONLY photo I can find online so far of Kilt with Dress Shirt and Tie without a Jacket.

Will at least agree to go with me to the store to see what they look like! :D PROGRESS!

Shower Dress

I was getting jealous all these ladies on the wedding forum I frequent were buying all these pretty new dresses for their showers and rehearsal dinners ad we just dont have the spare funds for such luxuries for me... well lucky me I made a sale in my etsy shop so I used it to buy a cute little white dress on ebay :) Now lets just pray it fits well lol

Jewelery

Ive been hunting around for necklaces and earrings... Ive been in love with this style of necklace since before I found a dress... however now that I have my dress I think this necklace is TOO much perhaps for it - Well I couldnt resist and I went ahead and ordered it anyway (it wasnt really all that much money so why not)
I also purchased a pair of chandelier earrings and a pair of simple drop earrings... so we'll see what works for me (they were only about $10 for both pairs)
LOVE Ebay! lol

Sporrans

Im placing the order for the groomsmen and boys attire...

thought I would share with you the awesome sporrans we found for them! Are these cute or what... father and son sporrans LOVE IT! - Im so excited that they boys are going to have their own!

They are also almost identical to Will except his has white tassels where these have black ones :)
