Mrs. Sand Dollar's Picture
Mrs. Sand Dollar, Houston Age and Occupation: 24, Graphic Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 22, Electrical Technician Engagement Date: January 8, 2010 Wedding Date: September 2010 Venue: MacLean Park About Me: I'm a domestic diva down to the core. I heart cooking, sewing, baking, decorating and making sure we have a hand-crafted home. The best part about the wedding is I get to incorporate it all! I make sure I put my art degree to good use by screen printing, craft knife cutting, and a whole lotta graphic design. We're having a big-time party on a small-time budget, and I promise to show you a boot-scootin', barbecue-eatin', finger-lickin' good time! Mr. Sand Dollar and I spend most of our time on DIY projects or traipsing around the outdoors with our two pooches Rory and Juno. I'm looking forward to sharing our journey with all of you!

Inspiration vs. Reality

October 11th, 2010 @ 10:07 am by Mrs. Sand Dollar

Well, I’m still waiting on my pro pictures disk, but I just can’t wait any longer…I have to at least post a teaser! Our online gallery is up, and though it’s protected where you can’t save the images to your desktop, I took low res screenshots with my computer to make a Polyvore set. Don’t you just love modern technology? I thought it would be fun to do a comparison of the inspiration set and photos from the real thing! So here it goes:

The Inspiration:

(sources, from top left – Rings, Invitations, Barbecue, Bouquet, Picnic, Barn, Frame, Cans, Gazebo, Bridesmaids)

The Reality:

All photos courtesy of The Pros

Some minor differences: I didn’t have any photos of the barbecue or the tables (which means no can pics). I’m a bit sad, but the rest of the pictures are so awesome that I’m OK with the omission! I looooooove how everything turned out, now that I look at it. You can’t tell from the pictures that half the guests didn’t show, or if anybody left early. All I see is our hard work come to fruition. I can’t wait to share the rest with you! Hopefully it comes in the mail this weekend, so I can start up on my recaps!
