Wedding Obsessed

Monograms

marymoore — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 16:00:16 +0000

Monograms are a growing trend in wedding themes. I definetly wanted to incorporate them somehow but didn’t want to make the letter “M” my trend. After many attempts at PhotoShop, I opted to pay $15 for three monograms from Creative Montage. They did a great job–check my monograms out.

I plan to use the monograms on…

Out of Town Bags for guests traveling to our wedding
Programs (DIY)
Favor Bags
Invitation
Rehearsal Dinner Invites
Other Random Places

I have STDs!

Ha, I couldn’t resist and I’m sure everyone cracks this joke, but oh well. Anyways, they came in today and I am so pleased. I can’t wait to send them out! Sorry the picture is so awful.

Oh yeah, don’t they look familiar? See below if not.

Maybe…

I really really LOVE the garters I listed below from etsy, but this weekend my mom and I found the garter she wore and I am considering making it my something blue (it could double as something old and borrowed too). Here’s a picture…

I’m thinking that I could get it dry cleaned, add a little more beading in the front, and put some monograms in it. I could put my parents wedding date and then mine and Marks’. That way, it could truly be an heirloom!

Update!

I have been away quite a while from the blog, but I have completed quite a few wedding tasks!

I booked a DJ and I will later blog about ALL the songs I do and I don’t want played. FYI..I’m anti- organized dances
I met with three florists (exhausting!) and decided on one-ofcourse the most expensive-but she is soo creative and we are gonna come up with some ways to save money. Later, I’ll blog about the creative ideas!
I met with a caterer and he is gonna get a quote to me on all of my desserts for the reception. My bridesmaid that I took with me is on Weight Watchers (as am I) and it was torture to talk about desserts for an hour!
I met with my wedding planner and she set me up with a baker, linen rental place, and stationers to meet with on my next visit home.

Something Blue and Sexy

Garters! I still have ten months to plan my wedding, but I tend to want to check off some of the little things on my list. As of now, I have three options for my garter. I want it to count as my “something blue” and also for it to be something original. When I think of original, my mind goes straight to etsy. All of these Garters are made my Rose Tree Garters AKA GarterLady on Etsy.

Shooters!

I’m having ALL desserts at the wedding. I definitely want these delicious looking treats served at the reception!

I LOVE LISTS!

I’ve always been a little OCD with creating to do lists. I love the feeling of crossing off an item on my list. With wedding planning, it seems like the lists are never ending. The current list I’m working on is everything I need from the florists….Here’s what I got so far.

Bridal Bouquet
Tossing Bouquet
Maid of Honor and Bridesmaid Bouquets
Groom’s Boutonniere
Best Man and Groomsman Boutonnieres

Loose Flowers for buffet and cake tables

Here are some great lists from Knock Knock…

The Venue

My fiance and I wanted an outdoor wedding (even though I am scared to death that it will rain!). We looked at places all over East Tennessee and finally decided on Ridge Valley Farms. It’s a gorgeous location that we can have the ceremony and reception at. Here are some pictures I took on our first visit.

Have your cake and eat it too!

There’s not too much about me or the wedding I’m planning that’s traditional. The overall theme I’m going for with the wedding is modern, fun, and funky but I still want a few traditional items thrown in. One tradition I would like to keep is having a white cake.

Here are a few of my favorites…

Blurb!

AWESOME! I am so freakin’ excited right now. There are tons of sites out there where ya’ll (or your photographer) can create a wedding album with a hefty price tag attached. However, blurb.com is a great place to download (for free) a program to create your own wedding or engagement album. If you’re feeling extra spicy, you can put your boudoir pictures in it for a wedding present for your man.

The albums come in square, standard landscape, standard portrait, and an extra large landscape. The cheapest one is a square, soft cover album with up to 40 pages that starts at $12.95! You can put up to 12 images a page, so hypothetically you could have a book with over 450 of your images in it.

Check out some covers of samples from the page…
