Flowers!

When we started planning the wedding, I was convinced all that I wanted was roses. Red for me and David, and white for the bridal party. A few weeks ago, I had a revelation - I want something in addition to the roses. And I found that I really liked the look of Calla Lilly bouquets next to Rose bouquets.









I still want red roses with stephanotis for my bouquet. I like the look of this one...












but want a red more like this one.














I want the girls to carry white calla lillies....











but I want their bouquets to look more like this.












Nothing like making it complicated to show the inspirations, right? I'm going shopping tomorrow for silks with Beverly, I am so excited! I'll let you know what we find!

Arch!

Of all things for me to fixate on, I've decided that we HAVE to have an arch for our entrance into the slopes. I have reason to believe that this is because one of my friend's used this method and it was gorgeous. As of yesterday, I am the proud owner of this arch from Michael's, thanks to a 40% off coupon. It does not include the flowers or tulle, but it is pre-lit. I am so excited to be able to walk through this as David's wife!

Yummy Centerpieces

I bought some how-to books. There is one for fruit, one for cookies, and one for candy. Here are the candy ones that I like the best.

Tap Lights

Thanks to an amazing principal, I just got 22 tap lights today! 18 are moon shaped, and 4 are star shaped (and therefore fall better into our theme). I'm thinking taplights on tables instead of candles, because they are about a million times safer around kids! We are going to paint the colored plastic part to match our color scheme.... my mom loves the idea, my dad doesn't quite get it, but I'm excited! I think I just found my spring break project!!
