Wording

It really didn't take me as long as I thought it would to find the right word's for our Save the Date and Invitations.  Which is good but it still doesn't make me want to do my own vows.

Please Save the Date!

Thing's Decided

Here are some final things decided on for the wedding and reception.

Colors. (ignore the yellow it is supposed to represent an old gold)

Centerpieces. Almost like mini terrariums with the single Airplant.  Height added with the glass cylinder filled with moss underneath. Very simple and clean.
We had a little party with our coordinator and the bridesmaid who could make it and my photographer.  They had all the materials and we got to just play and figure out what I wanted my centerpieces to look like.  It was one of the best things ever!

And addition decoration around the buffet, table placement/favor table and outdoor park area. Large single air plants and potted orchids.

The Reception Venue is still the lovely North Bank Pavillion

Some hanging Jelly fish type Decoration with Blue LED's inside of the ceiling of the outside tent.

The cake is going to be White and Lemon cake with raspberry filling and almond butter cream frosting.

The design will match this.

Being married at my home church which has a very dramatic interior so it doesn't need much.

But on every 3rd aisle there are candle holders that stand about 6 ft tall.  I am going to hang tissue pom pom's off of them something like two white and one green or gold stringed together per each one along the aisle.

My Ceremony Shoes which I already have and are broken in

My reception Shoes

The Save the Date Magnets printed on Chip board by letterpress

We are going to have a self made Photo booth set up.
Not sure if it will involve a laptop also or photo printer yet.  It also won't be cardboard but some sort of Wooden set up to cover the tripod and laptop.

 and the picture taking area to resemble something Similar.

CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN!

That's all I can remember for now also a Yoshi in each Bridesmaid Bouquets with Dried green Hydrangeas from our garden.

Pleats in progress

I got in my 11 yards of silk Organza and now I am finding that I have run into a total block.  I did another swatch of the embroidery on organza with colors to see if I like them. Then I started on the ruffles and pleats and I was totally lost.  I guess it's just hard because I don't have a clear picture in my head of what I want and what I am going for.

Finally I took the time and put together a small mood board and pleat ruffle guide.  I know I want three layers or pleats or ruffles and for them to vary in size.  they will be covered over with a single layer of organza so you can see them but they aren't the outer section.  I think that I feared to intentionally sketch it out because I didn't want to be stuck with just one things, one idea.  I just need to force myself to plow through and remember this first dress may not be the last dress or the wedding dress.

So here is my current inspiration guide board on the pleats
