Unity Candles
Mr. Ladybug and I went and bought these at A.C. Moore. They were charging $25.00 for the unity candle and $8.00 for the tapered candles! I was like “Oh HELLS no!”

So they had a candle section where we bought plain candles. We got the middle one for $3.50 and the plain tapered ones for $1.48 each. They were also charging $35.00 for the unity candle holder set but we bought ours in the glass dept there separately. The tapered holders were $3.98 each and the wide candle holder was $3.29.

What a deal, what a deal! I brought them home and put ribbons around them left over from the centerpiece project. Took me 20 minutes baby! I went shopping a while back and that’s when I bought the beaded accents for $2 bucks and some change.

My friend Ji Won came shopping with me a while back and that’s when I bought the beaded accents for $2 bucks and some change. Remember I didn’t know what I was going to do with them and you said “maybe for the unity candles?” and I did! I did taw a putty cat! You’re such a smart hooch. I heart you heifer.

Backdrop
I also took a trip to Ikea this week to look for more large tealights for my centerpieces. They burn for 10 hours whereas the little ones only burn for 4. Anyways while I was there I was looking around the fabric area and I found these drapes. I love them because of the vintage look so I’m thinking about using this as a backdrop as well. Not sure if I should use the other one that my sister got for me originally. What do you think?

Bird Cage
I also want to do a bird cage card holder to hold all the cards that our guests bring so Mr. Ladybug and I found this at Home Goods. I’m going to spray paint it brown but keep the green accents. I love it. I love anything vintage! I’ll post up more photos once I’m done.

Stamps
I also received my stamps from Stampworx to make my programs this weekend. I’ll post up photos once I’m done those as well.
