Considering French Polynesia (we've changed our minds several times!)  Me and my boy!  My engagement ring  Side view of my engagement ring  My best friend Kelly who will be my Matron of Honor.  The Ribault Club will be the location of our outdoor wedding ceremony and reception          The wedding tree     My dress by Judd Waddell  The back of my dress! Here's the front of my dress with the lace detail! I am going to use a silver and diamond brooch in the middle of the bow to coordinate with my bridesmaids.   I was pleasantly surprised when one of my bridesmaids bought this bracelet for my as a Christmas present. It's by Crislu and it's gorgeous. Just the right amount of sparkle and it goes with the pave' on my earrings!  Here's another shot of my bracelet in the box.  Here's one brooch option I was going to use in the center of the bow on my dress.  This is the brooch I'll use for the center of the bow on my dress. It's absolutely gorgeous in person. The Swarovski crystals are very shiny! Love it!   Slim A-line crinoline from Knot The Groom which I will dye pink   I bought this wrap on eBay. It's from seller "elkcreek0mq"  Wedding dress label from Filigree Monograms  Since I don't have one from my family that's handed down, I'll get my hanky from White Aisle  I bought my earrings! I was trying to find a better picture of them online. They are beautiful, but the picture above doesn't do them justice. I also purchased a brooch by Nadri that's gorgeous. I wasn't sure what type of earrings I would choose, but these stood out and match the side of my engagement ring. LOVE IT!!!  This is a bouquet broach, hair accessory/pin. I might use two of these in my bouquet?! They are only $14.99!!! White Aisle  Pink monogrammed garter from Angel Threads NYC   My shoes! The bow on the shoes matches the bow on my dress!     My veil by Justina McCaffrey - Sheridan  Detail on the veil's edge that matches the "antique" color of my dress                I just ordered 4 of these for my hair! My hair pin will have all cream pearls to match my brooch.  Here's a close-up   Bridesmaid dresses - Dessy Style 2022 in Black  Another picture of the dress in a different color   Brooch for my bridesmaids!  Black fur wraps for after the ceremony. I bought these on eBay (same seller as my ivory wrap above).  Earrings I got for $6.99 on sale at Ann Taylor Loft. They are really pretty in person.   Our "save the date" cards that I designed myself and will mail in a pink envelope lined with black paper. They are 5.65"x5.65" square (picture of back below)  Save the Date Cards - Back with our web site information for out of town guests  Wax peel and stick seals from Old School Seals with our last name initial for the save the date cards. I'll use the envelope lining kit from Paper Source, so the wax seals will seal the envelopes, yet won't destroy the lining (so they'll see my hard work!)  I ordered this address embosser from Williams Sonoma. I only used our address, no names, for our return address on our save the date cards to be placed on the envelope flap.  I am going to make our invitations and this is an idea I put together in photoshop. I have ordered the paper and will use a 7x7 pocketfold and close the pocketfold with ribbon. The pocket will hold the RSVP card, envelope and possibly a direction card.  Here's the invitation layout for the pocketfold idea above.  I'll either seal the invitation with a wax seal or use a monogram sticker.  This was the inspiration for my invitations.  Invitations from YoureInvited.com that I like. We'll use one of our engagement photos as the background image.  Thank you cards from YoureInvited.com that I like.  Envelopes from Paper Source  Save the date's will be addressed like this by Artichoke Ink  Wedding invitations will be addressed like this by A Touch of Ink  Programs I like from Knottie CTNJBRIDE (link to her bio below in Inspirational Bios). Seeing her's online inspired me to start designing our programs!     Rehearsal dinner invitation idea. We're doing a SUPER casual rehearsal dinner at a pizza place near our house. FI wants lots of pizza and beer!   Bouquet size (BIG!)                I would like to do two cone topiaries on either side of the aisle placed behind the last row of chairs.  Another topiary idea. I thought a cone shape would look nice with some flowers spilling over the sides of the urn below.      I'll use wrapped boxes with flower cake toppers for our highboy tables.          Of course this wouldb e in my colors - pink & black  This is one of my favorites! We're doing small wrapped presents on the highboys with flowers on top as the bow, so this would coordinate with the holiday/present theme.     Cute idea to use different flavored and uniquely decorated cakes as centerpieces    Our engraved cake server set with Swarovski crystals from Things Remembered.  Our cake server arrived! It's very simple and will do the trick!  Our lovely cake topper! Okay, just kidding!   Possible table linens keeping with the black, white and pink theme  I like this idea with the present in the middle topped with flowers. I was going to do some smaller boxes wrapped in plain silver, white, and pink paper with large ribbon on the high top tables with candles.  Fresh cedar alphabet wreath for the front door of the Ribault Club. Only $35.00 from Ballard Designs (search for alphabet wreath)  i got the idea to make these from Martha Stewart, but found these on Ballard Designs' web site. I have made a few of these with silver and clear antique beads. They are curly C's to hang on the corners of a few chairs. I'll use different color ribbons (pink, black, silver) to hang them.      Not sure if I like this clear box, but I haven't seen too many that I like so far. I may make one that matches the present theme - simple box in silver/white paper with hot pink and black ribbon.  Match books from ForYourParty.com  Coasters from ForYourParty.com  I might order a single letter embosser from Neiman Marcus for our cocktail napkins   Photo table idea. I'll use some Christmas ornaments in pink, silver with long black ribbons and share pictures of our loved ones that could not be here with us to celebrate our marriage.  I like this runner. Might possibly do a black runner with white or pink linens.    I love these from Satin Bow. I'll try to recreate them as petal cones (pew cones pictures).     I bought these pink glittery birds for some sort of decoration? I bought them at JoAnn's. I'm not sure what I'll use them for, but I have them! lol  We'll have a petal aisle similar to this. This is from Knottie Lessie and photo by Dan Harris Photo Art  I bought 3 of these huge frosted pink vases. I'll use candles in these on the mantle. They are about 16 inches tall, so they will be very dramatic over the huge fireplace in the ballroom.  I bought this lantern to go outside on a table in front of the Ribault Club. We'll serve hot chocolate and water before our ceremony, so I thought this would be cute with a pink candle inside and some ribbon around the bottom (so it doesn't catch on fire from the heat!).   Toasting flutes from Tiffany & Co.   A local favorite from Peterbrooke Chocolatierl, chocolate covered popcorn. They will be placed on the tables in boxes wrapped with pink, silver and black ribbon  I just ordered these gloss black boxes from Uline.com (size 3"x3"x3" was $24 for a case of 100; ordered 2) for our chocolate covered popcorn!  Favor placecards that I'll make with the chocolate covered popcorn in black boxes with hot pink ribbon.  Labels for favor boxes from My Own Labels    
  Ribbon for favor boxes    Glowing cubes in pink for our signature drinks! Thanks to ATRNY2B for the idea! I love it!  Menu cards from ATRNY2B  Menu card I designed to be tucked into the napkins on each place setting.  Coffee and hot chocolate service is a must! Fiance loves hot chocolate!  Initial chocolates are too cute! Know where I can order these? Post below in my message box. Thanks!!!  Water bottle labels for the OOT boxes and also the table that will serve water & hot chocolate before the ceremony.  Miniature candy bar labels for OOT boxes.        Ceremony Music We are using Nancy Gehret of String Elegance - violin and cello duo Mothers/Bridesmaid Processional Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, from Cantata No. 147 - Johann Sebastian Bach Bride Processional JBridal March from Lohengrin - Richard Wagner Processional Hornpipe from Water Music - George Frederic Handel      These are from knottie julia&adam. This is a gift idea for my bridesmaids - monogrammed hoodies with their names instead of "bridesmaid" so they can wear them another time if they choose to! CustomGlamBirl.com is a cute place to order them!  Monogrammed bags from LL Bean  I ordered these cute little cosmetic bags from Hold Everything for $4.99 and free shipping! I'll put their brooch and earrings in these.  I plan to send something like these cute invitations to my bridesmaids, my mother, FMIL for a day of pampering before the wedding.   OOT boxes from buygiftbox.com   Our Get Away Car, a 1957 Bentley   After going round and round with this decision, I think we've decided on our honeymoon location - French Polynesia! We're so excited and can't wait to go! Now it's onto booking the hotels and our flights! But what a struggle it's been! I never thought this would be a tough decision. :o) I'm ready to leave tomorrow!    My bestfriend Kelly, also my MOH  Me and Susan, one of my bridesmaids!!!  Dan's brother Dean, Father, neice Gabby, and of course Dan!  We bought a house together in April 2005 and this is our first Christmas here! Dan also proposed to me in the new house! I made him climb out the window to hang this huge wreath. It doesn't look that big on the house, but it's HUGE! The things I have him do for decorative affect!   Sylvester my cat taking a nap on my new chair!  Molly doing the same!
