Love it!! For me but add creamy peonies!


Our cake! From Jacques Pastries...we will have white icing with blue scroll work instead, with different shades of blue hydrangea & green viburnum. Two tiers will be chocolate cake with chocolate truffle filling and the other two tiers will be white cake with amaretto filling! DEEEE_LISH!!

Flowers for the girls...


Pretty! Love all the following flower ideas...but with apricots, creams, and light greens!














Our candelabras for our centerpieces....with silver bases instead of gold


We will be using these chair covers and overlays....ice blue instead of green though!




Ok...I can't decide how I am going to wear my hair....I now have a bunch of headpieces...tiaras, combs, barettes....here are a few in case anyone is interested in eventually taking them off my hands!!
