I Don't. Not For Awhile Anyway.

Wedding Post Poned.
Not cool at all.. I just don't know how to delete this blog.. please check out my real blog, Black Ribbon Interiors.

Cake? Yes.

I adore these cakes I found at PinkCakeBox.com.. a place in New Jersey.

I thought that there was no way I could possibly find a cake like this without going out of state and paying atleast $800.00. But I was wrong.

Yesterday I stumbled upon a locally owned bakery that specializes in wedding cakes.. And the price? MORE than affordable.. I am so happy.. The below images aren't what our cake will look like.. just a few images of her work.. Ours will most likely be like the cakes from the store in New Jersey... I want the cream colored icing with brown grosgrain ribbon at the bottom.. Not sure on the topper yet.. any suggestions?

October.

It Is!!!

Most likey October 16th.

Here are a few ideas I found and adore and absolutely plan on using.
First of all our favorite time of year is the fall.. so October is perfect. And what is more romantic and cozy than candlelight on a cold fall evening? I am planning on a candle lit ceremony..
Notice the candles all around? Even on the floor.. I love it..


Sweet chardonnay and warm red wine.

The ceremony and reception will take place in the same room. Therefore, I will be using place settings for the guest. I love the idea of the oranges for place settings. I also plan on using small pumpkins and maybe apples.

A cozy fireplace mantel. The place I've selected has a fireplace. If I can't use it for a fire I like the idea of filling it with personalized pumpkins and candles.

Just some decorations.. I love the simplicity and warmth of the candles in the Mason jars.. delicately tied with a sweet ribbon..

Cranberry Champagne= yum and definitely!

Yes.

Talking to a friend of mine at work today about a few wedding ideas I have.. One of which was to buy each of our girls a silver locket.. She suggested I go to Things Remembered.
I found esactly what I was looking for..




While browsing, I found these.. The Park Avenue collection.... These little beauties I feel are a must! And I love that they can be engraved as well...




These are the Mr. and Mrs. flutes she bought for a very lucky friend of hers.. Aren't they darling?

Just For Fun.

Just a Few Dresses I like.. I must be honest and say none of these seem to be "the one" but.. just for kicks, which is your favorite?

Ban.Do Maybe.

But which one??? IF I go with a Ban.do.. which is very likely.. I adore them.. WHICH ONE?? I seriously love all of these..










I know.. I know.. depends on the dress.. But atleast I know which of the Ban.do's are my favorites.. That's a step! Which one is your favorite?

I want.

Those that know me know that I adore vintage.. and at times I feel I was born in the wrong era.. So.. because of this love for all things vintage, naturally I plan on having a vintage style wedding.. pearls, gloves, and I am seriously considering a pill box hat w/netting in place of a veil..

Also, want a simple dress... no ruffles.. no train.. Here are some images for inspiration..



I am hoping for a November wedding.. so when I saw this vintage fur wrap on a photo from Kate Headley Photography I knew it had to be added to my list of YES!! :) I am sure I can find a vintage one..

I adore this vintage clip on the bouquet ribbon.. This is also going in the YES! file.. :)


Fruit for place settings= love it! Am also thinking apples or pumpkins would be fantastic...

Green.

I know that I will be going with black and white.. that is for certain.. However, I would like to have one small accent color... Today.. i am thinking green..

I love this simple yet handsome boutonniere of green amazon coleous.

Story.

Lotus Blossoms: Symbols of Cosmic Harmony.. pretty.. and I suppose we can all use a little cosmic harmony..

Swallows: Honor, loyalty, returning home and luck... I want all of that! I love LOVE that swallows represent "returning home" May I be his home.. and may he always return home to me.. Yes.. I love the Swallows...

Peonies: Bashful.. seems to fit Brad and myself.. Note: I LOVE Peonies.. the look, the scent.. and I adore the white peonies most of all!
