Here is my gown! It is so simple and beautiful. The details just don't come across in the picture!
These are my shoes! Nina Gali. Purchased at shoeisland.com...FYI: order a half size up!
The BM dresses. They will be satin, not organza (as they are pictured). The dresses are harvest gold and we are having magenta sashes made.
I am such a dork! Here is my lame attempt to edit the pic with POWER POINT! At least it gives some idea of what we're going for!
The BM shoes. I found them very reasonably priced. I didn't want to buy cheesy dyeable shoes, but I thought these were cute and kinda go along with my unintentional dragonfly footwear theme. We are going to dye them gold to match the dresses...
The FG dress! SOOO cute and a great deal! from www.cutekiddy.com.
We are renting the tuxes from Men's Wearhouse.
FI's will have a charcoal vest and black tie, the GM will have champagne vests and ties.
These are my BM totes from LLBean...still waiting on one...its been backordered forever! Mine is in the middle (with my new initials!)
Flowergirl gifts...cute backpacks, also from LLBean. I also made them a fun wedding activity book and will fill the bags with crayons and art supplies!

DIY POCKETFOLD INVITE
INSTRUCTIONS!
This is the template that I designed to create my pocketfolds...feel free to use it!
Here are all of my pocketfold making tools.
Cutting mat, 24" quilting ruler, rotary cutter, mechanical pencil with metal tip, spoon, adhesive (I use TOMBO MONOAdhesive, permanent) and optional embosser.
All of my paper is is from paper-source.com. I can get 4 pocketfolds from each flat sheet of cover stock.
I am using are the Superfine Soft White coverstock and Burgundy Magenta Dots paper. The instructions are designed to be used with the paper-source 5 3/4" square and 4 bar envelopes, but you can tweak it too fit your needs!
After coverstock is cut to correct size (5 1/2" x 16"), score at pre-determined intervals using the metal tip of a mechanical pencil or a scoring blade.
Fold at your score lines and rub firmly with the back of a spoon to set the fold.
Cut and score pocket spacers (1" x a little less than 3"). Use the spoon to smooth the fold.
Glue the spacers in to create the pocket!
Use the adhesive to glue in your pre-cut "background" paper (5 1/4" x 5 1/4").
Use adhesive to glue in invite wording.
(4 3/4" x 4 3/4")
My sweet puppy!
