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!
