Our cake topper

When a friend of mine's sister offered to do my cake topper, I was very excited to have something hand made and personalized. Neve in my wildest dreams did I think it'd be as awesome as it was. People are still raving about it. So check out these uber cute pics and let me know If you want Caroline to make you one. I'm trying to convince the girl that she needs her own etsy store












Even the details of my husband's (omg husband!!!) eyes and juneau's eyes are blue :)

Hair Accessories

So, i worked with this amazing vendor on Etsy... OlasDreamWorld.

I loved her work but wanted something customized for my ladies... and she made such beautiful items and had them shipped from Bahrain and arrive in So Cal within less than a week. AMAZING... check it out... these are my photos - so when i get pro ones you can see even more how beautiful these items are. Headbands for my flower girls, ivory flowers for me, and the custom designed gray/yellow pins for my bridal party :)

Make sure to check out Olas Dream World... she's simply amazing!

Wedding Slideshow

that never was...

We wanted to show this at the welcome party/rehearsal meal but technical difficulties did not allow it.  Rain brought a perfect reason to play it at the cocktail hour since the cocktail hour had to be moved from atrium to the reception room but for some reason - the sound wasn't played and I was told only certain parts played over and over again...

so without further ado... here is yet another attempt to show our wedding slideshow!!!

Placecards and Table Names

Kelly from Calligraphy by Kelly Ann is doing all my place cards and table names... we worked together to pick a look that would just go well with the overall theme of the day... and by work together, I mean - she guided me 150% of the way through... here is a quick look at some of the place cards.

We got the paper stock (i looked everywhere and couldn't find the perfect one until i went to etsy) and found these beautiful dark gray papers from Hawkdesigns

And our table names... we went with dog names... those of our friends and families and will put these on table number holders while putting a picture of the dog in a frame!

I am so lucky to have talented friends... especially considering she got the guest list over the weekend and has everything finished... her poor daughters - she's probably neglected them just to do this... i owe you big kelly!!!!! HUGE!!!

Bouquet Memory Lockets

I ordered these from Aristocrafty Etsy store for my bouquet. I ordered them very last minute but she was running a special where if i emailed her the pic she could put it all together. It was awesome b/c the little details are what is really killing me right now with things to do days before the wedding ... so what a god-sent!  Love them.

One is for FH's deceased older brother

and the other is for my father who is not attending our wedding.

Because of the reason that my father is not attending - i did them separately at FH's request.  My father is in a closed locket and FH's brother is in an open picture pin... the symbolism there speaks volumes.

Birthday Party and DC Fun

Here are some pics from my birthday and ... my local DC bachelorette party... Thanks to a good friend who wanted to throw it for me and the ladies who missed out on the LV one... I had such a great time...

 Dinner with my future Hubby
