Here we go: the details. I started planning with big ideas stemming from Dorothy Draper interiors. My budget only allowed for recreating her aesthetic on a small scale, but I’m still pretty happy with the results.
Pink peonies can do no wrong, especially mixed with hosta leaves.
We served pink lemonade as guests left the ceremony, a welcome relief from the heat.
The centerpieces were in green glass goblets that my florist found.
I re-purposed an apothecary jar as a wish jar and printed out a bunch of cards with our initials.
The whoopie pies were excellent!
So those are the things I obsessed over for a year. In the days leading up to the wedding, I was worried I didn’t have enough, that the wedding was just going to look a little sad. The thing is, I barely noticed these things at the wedding. I adored the flowers, but everything else was just stuff. I wouldn’t change anything in hindsight, but I wouldn’t add anything either. I loved the wedding.

Mrs. Ribbons, Washington D.C./Bloomington, IN Age and Occupation: 23, Research Associate for an international development firm Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, Proposal Coordinator for contractor Engagement Date: May 2, 2008 Wedding Date: June 2010 Venue: Indiana Memorial Union About Me: I'm an Indiana transplant living in DC with my fiance and our pretty kitty. I enjoy the color pink, I'm obsessed with the Dior New Look and tulle, and I heart my level 80 paladin. I'm a sucker for bad TV, literary theory, and cakes of all persuasion. I also happen to be marrying the cutest closet nerd around! It's all about Bloomington for us because it's where we met -- on the college paper. If there's a theme for our small summertime wedding, it's Dior meets Dorothy Draper on a lark in Bloomington; think poofy, plus graphic prints, bold colors, and a whole lot of prettiness.
