I thought Nicole had a great idea posting all of her wedding info in one place,
so I thought I’d post a similar thread of all my planning info and ideas…

Starting from the beginning…

Invitations, STD’s & Monograms

For our Save the Dates, we sent picture frames and an invitation:




Picture frames from Walmart $3 each
Paper, cardstock, and black gatefold cards from Hobby Lobby
Engagement Photographs by Juan Carlos Tapia.
You can view them all at www.jeffreyandsarah.shutterfly.com


Each STD had a magnet that looked like this:



Magnets from VistaPrint - Business Cards - Full Color Printing - Digital Printing Company | VistaPrint


After January 1st, we sent a reminder to our guests to book their travel and
get a passport if they hadn’t already done so. Here’s the postcard:

I made invitations using pocketfolds from Cards and Pockets: cardsandpockets.com






Metallic paper, cardstock, and envelopes from Paper and More:
Discount Wedding Invitations, Vellum Paper, Vellum Envelopes, Card Stock Source - Paperandmore.com

Invitations were assembled using miniature brads from Hobby Lobby

The “S” monogram on the outside ribbon belly band is simply the Capital S
from the font Goudy Initialen. Fonts used for my invitations are Allegro & BD
Merced. Fonts available for download from dafont.com.

I had monograms made early in my planning.
These are from Creative Montage: Creative Montage... For Today's Sophisticated Bride


These are from knottie Aylee: http://www.gnyc.net/bio/b-monograms.htm#monograms

Attire

Here is my dress. It is by Allure Bridal. I don’t have a picture of a model in the
dress, but here I am trying my hardest!





This is my dress that I originally bought for the wedding, but decided was too
informal. This is now going to be for my “trash the dress” session the day
after the wedding. Sorry about the pics, they are pre-alteration. The dress
was HUGE on me and was a $900 Venus dress found brand new at a thrift
store when a local bridal shop donated their samples…





Here is my Welcome Dinner dress, from Cache:




My shower Dress (Jcrew):




Jeff’s Suit (Banana Republic):




Bridesmaid’s Dress (Nordstrom):




Groomsmen’s Attire (TJMaxx & Burlington Coat Factory):



Flower Girl:

Flowers, Food, Details, Etc…

My bouquet will be all red roses like the picture below. The bridesmaid’s
bouquet will be a slightly smaller version of this as well:




Our cake will be Tres Leches with White Chocolate & Strawberries between
the layers, covered with Red rose petals:



Here’s kinda what our cake topper will look like. It has the same large initial
covered with rhinestones and smaller initials with rhinestone accents, but it’s
a block font:




Our centerpieces will be drowned red roses like Merryme had:




My shoes (Beverly Feldman, via Ebay- thanks Jessalyn!)




My purse:




The ring!:



From Tacori’s website (my diamond is different than this pic):



Wedding band:
