besides the wedding, i think my life will change in a BIG way. will update this in due time after we have worked this out. {images from icon}

invite with humor

Isn't this the coolest wedding invite ever!? I just keep reading it!

I found it here!

this post in elizabeth ann designs probably speaks my mind and, i am SO glad i'm not the only bride feeling this way. i'm NOT a bridezilla btw. i listen to what my future husband has to say and we share ideas, and i think thats all that matters.

"At this point in the wedding planning ... I’m not really as careful with my opinions as I was in the beginning. At first, I tried to appease everyone and get a lot of opinions before making a decision. At this point, I’m just kind of over caring what everyone thinks. This is, of course, where us brides get dubbed “bridezilla” but I disagree strongly! I’m not a bridezilla, but I’m trying to tell myself daily that it is our wedding, and what we want matters! I think a bride can drive herself batty worrying what everyone thinks about every decision!"

{via fuzzynk design} - perfect and very similar to our invites.

this is the coolest wedding - EVER!

Martha Stewart RULES! BOUQUETS. RECEPTION CENTREPIECE IDEAS. my fav of the lot!

ping pong' mums, chamomile, and lady's mantle (or other blooms to fit your color scheme)

use of vegetables that signify fertility and abundance. how apt (!)

i like this idea, but would personally feel that it will look better with a container more shallow.\

small terra-cotta and copper pots filled with roses, tiny pinecones, and vanilla-scented pillar candles.

on a roll. MORE diy!

Featured this wedding before but, I just can't get over the bold burst of colors.

these gorgeous Moroccan lanterns are a great alternative to exorbitantly priced flowers. our next task is to source for these at reasonably prices.

{a blessing in disguise}

felt reeeeally disappointed when we went to meet one of the assigned florists by the hotel. we were shown her portfolio. i must say that she's really talented and can easily be one of the best in town. unfortunately she had limited options for us as the hotel is not paying her much. topping up would mean 75 bucks per centre piece.

the next day, my mom and i went down to the ceremony location (the church) and the canteen. the canteen is pretty spartan. just when i thought i'm dead, i came across this post. what would i do w/o my fellow bloggers?
