FALL-ing in love

The roses above are actually made from maple leaves. i think these are SO cute!

Can you imagine having a candied apple buffet at your fall wedding?

have a caramel dip, chocolate dip

peanuts, & m&ms

and whatever other candy your little heart desires?

I think this would be SUPER cute

For anyone having a fall themed wedding, here are some ideas to be inspired with!

Life Gives You Lemons

When life gives you lemons, well what ELSE would you do with them?

MAKE LEMONADE, helloow?

My Mom make the BEST fresh lemonade EVER!

So why not have her make lemonade for our guests to enjoy?

A nice cool glass on a june afternoon-that sounds awesome. and we can make them cute and serve them...

in mason jars?

Candy Buffet

I really wanna do a Candy Buffet at my wedding

But those cute little apocrathy jars are so stinkin expensive!

Isnt is adorable?

This one is so BRIGHT i love it. I love the little jars too! but you would need SO many little jars, i wonder how much this would cost cuz i really love this idea!This would work-I think i would use these as table center pieces thoI think this one is a cute idea also, it could actually be a fairly cheap way to make the Candy Buffet work in your favor

Mason Jars?

Candy Dishes?

A Friends Reception

I am posting this post for my good friend Jordan, who is having her reception in May. Her colors are all vibrant and bright! I love these ideas.

Will post more Jordan

Card Box/Wishing Well

Ok I saw this on a wedding blog once upon a time and decided that it was a MUST HAVE!

I grabbed up some of the 8x11 picture frames at Walmart for 3 dollars each

a package of brackets

and posterboard.

add a little bit of fab. and hot glue and your set!

the inside doesnt need to be pretty-so take the hot glue gun and glue the brackets into each cornerLike i said-it isnt pretty inside!

I took the glass out of it so it'd be easier to hold onto when glueing together!

I Used the thick posterboard and cut out a square for both the top or bottom

make sure you cut a whole in the middle of the top one for the cards to go thru

Glue a piece of material around the top piece-this is mine before i straitend it!

dont glue this one in completely-or at all if you havent put pics in yet.

I am only going to glue 2 sides of it down before the wedding so its easier to take apart!

And there ya have it!

(except i think i am going to paint the frames a darker brown to match the top!)


oh and i need to find a lazy suzan to put it on so it will spin in circles-anyone know where to find one? i looked all over walmart for one with no luck!

--total cost for this project?
3$ for each frame
1.97 for the brackets
2$ for the posterboard
which comes to a WHOPPING
15.97
and I can keep it for either a box to keep wedding keepsakes in or take it apart and put wedding photos in. Its a win-win deal!

HAIR BOW

Im Diggin the Camo hair Bow! Thanks Nicole for the IDEA!

I am attempting to make one in a few minutes!

My Baby girl-flower girl

will look so cute with something like this to tie in to the theme!

Not To Redneck!

I want to add a bit of "camo" to the decor!

Not ALOT!

I dont want it to look overly "redneck" but i do want it to be fun!

I am thinking i wanna have tropical flowers (orchids maybe?) with a camo ribbon around it for my bouquet.

Making a "pocket" on the ring bear pillow for the rings with a part of jords old ACU uniforms?(not entirely sure on this one yet, it was an idea tho-maybe i will create something else?)

Pew Bows-Make a bow out of camo (ACU) material -which i have a BUNCH of!- and put a single tropical flower inside it

Have a "dollar dance" and make a cute little pocket/purse for the money out of an old uniform?

Whatdaya Think? Any more ideas would be amazingly appreciated!

*Ideas For Favors*

Personalized M&M's made to match your colors

I think this is a cute idea...a small candy buffet sorta thing. that could be super cute!
BBQ sauce. Yummy. and Im sure when i show this to jords, he'll try to find a way to make it happen lol

&the ever so popular right now "Hugs and Kisses From the New MR. and MRS." still precious

Personalized Lolly pops?

BBQ SAUCE! YUMMY

I LOVE Jones Soda-might go well with the old fashioned soda bar i had in mind too?

You can add pics, and quotes on them!

Creative way to decorate a table top too!

whatta ya think?

Ambiance

I REALLY wanna use something like this to set the whole ambiance of the wedding. Fun. Romantic. Unique for the Evanston area weddings. Does anyone know where in the area i could rent something like this?

I would LOVE to have the drapes at our reception..AW! gettin super excited!

Flower Girl Wagon?

Well, its kinda a given that we are going to have our kids be in the wedding. Harlee will be 19 months old, and Brayden will be 30 months old. So it will be a bit of a handful. We are having my little brother also be a ring bearer (he's gonna be 7) so he can lead them down the isle. Thing is, my kids are adventurous. and who knows if they will decide to be shy that day or in a bad mood? So I was thinking putting Harlee in a wagon, and maybe having Brayden and William Pull it? or put both the kids in and have Will pull it. Here are some super cute wagons decorated.

Colors, Colors, Colors

Jords decided that he wanted to help with the wedding planning, after i had the colors picked out and everything lol. But he said he wants bright blue in the wedding, so now im gathering ideas and trying to hurry and pick out colors i like. whatcha think?

Centerpieces

I've been on the lookout for some awesome centerpieces, and here is what i've come up with so far.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the picture frame idea! Super Cute!

Buttons. It was different.

Should Probably Begin Right?

Well, Jords and I have lived together for 2 years now, so we really dont need alot of house stuff for our wedding, like most couples. So we're thinkin about doing a "wishing well" and send a note in the invitations saying something like --- and we will use the money for a house. Its a possibilty. I know there are several sites online that sell these like the one below, but i am curious, could i make my own variation of this? hmm. Favors? I thought that this was a kinda cute idea, put our wedding date and names and whatnot on it. and use these for both decoration, and favors. two birds with one stone? and they're fairly cheap.
When i was looking for wishing well ideas i ran across this card box. amazing. i fell in love. and said "THIS IS IT!" until i found my center piece ideas, then i wasnt sure which one i liked more. hmm..

I want to do something fun. Candy bars, sundae bars, cupcakes, cheesecakes and desert bars are all the rave right now, and i want to do something somewhat similar, but unique (as does every bride) You can order old fashioned soda's online in whatever colors you want!

Wouldnt that be a super fun idea for a summer wedding?
