About Mrs. French Bulldog

I’ve already shown you all the Birdie Details from our wedding, but I had to show off the other details.

I really didn’t want a flowery arch, but Mama Frenchie and my florist talked me into one. I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised with the result.

My gorgeous bouquet that I still can’t bring myself to throw away.

Mr Frenchie’s manly boutonniere and FIL Frenchie’s tie from the ’60s, gifted to Mr Frenchie around the time we got engaged. MIL Frenchie’s dress ended up matching the tie perfectly.

My bridesmaids’ colorful and wild bouquets.

My wedding clutch that Etsy seller IMH Designs overnighted to me days before the wedding. Nothing like waiting until the last minute to decided on clutch.

My bright yellow Calvin Klein pumps. Like the clutch, I couldn’t decide which shoes to purchase. In the end I decided to wear a pair of yellow shoes I already owned and they were perfect.

Our rings on a bunch of grapes from the vineyard.

The “Wish Dish” – at a meeting with our DOC two weeks before the wedding, Amanda suggested a “Wish Bowl” when we had no clue what to do for a guest book. Mama Frenchie surprised me by getting this made at Color Me Mine. We nicknamed it a “Wish Dish” because it wasn’t really a bowl.

Like many other brides I wore two garters. The one below was the same garter my mother and her mother wore in their weddings. Mama Frenchie also made me a similar one for the toss.

I love the way the arch turned out. It is beautiful without being excessive. It fits your theme.

I also really liked the “Mr and Mrs” chair signs. I love DIY projects.

beautiful details. i think your arch turned out nicely. i’ve seen some that look really dated (80s/70s style) but yours is modern and tasteful!

*The arch turned out well.
*I love the picture of the rings on the grapes :)
*Wish Dish - What do the guests write on the cards? Wishes for the marriage? Could you explain a bit more? (I’m wondering what to do for a guest book too)
*I’m wearing my Mom’s garter too!
*I love your Grandmother’s glasses - Part of my theme is polka dots, so I’m a bit biased to everything polka dotted right now! haha

@mrspaetz: That’s exactly what I was afraid of!

@Whimsical.Sprite: Our guest wrote out wishes for our marriage on the pieces of paper and placed them in the dish. I’ll try to find the poem we used to explain it and message you :)
