check out these new invitations i found!

these are really fantastic and i want to try to make them myself!! yay!

you gotta have music!!

sooo i was sitting here watching the movie "Me and Orson Welles" and i was totally loving the music!! so i thought this would be a great time to start thinking about cocktail music and eating music and all that downtime music before people get down and boogie! sooo first one that is definitely a must would be...."Glen miller"FANTASTIC! then there was the one my mom just told me about which would be "Tommy Dorsey"! lovely...so now i think im gonna have to find a good mix between them all! alrighty thats it for now!

the bouquet of my dreams

this is a beautiful bouquet from THE VINES LEAF in orange county. they did this beautiful bouquet, but of course i would like it in my color scheme<3

Bridal shower idea!

my beautiful PLUMES!

So this is a picture that i found that really inhabits the feel of what im going for! very elegant and less cheesy! i want my guests to feel like a million bucks even tho its only gonna be costing a few thousands! so here it is!

ceremony site!

ok finally back from hiatus! i have more to share! so i was thinking of saving money and having the ceremony at a church but i could not find a nice vintage beautiful one near the nixon library i looked and looked and then i stumbled upon this beautiful work of art called the "first presbyterian church of santa ana! about 20 minutes away...and it gives us a chance to ride away in style to our reception destination and its not to far for out of town guests! so here is a picture! i think its rather beautiful! the price is 950 which is not bad but not really wonderful but it does include classes for me and my man and our very own changing rooms! the rehearsal....and the officiant! oh yah!!!and they provide you with the unity candle!!! SWEET! so let me know what you think<3
