Mrs. Balloons, Aspen, CO Age and Occupation: 24, Mass Communications graduate, Web Design student, & winery worker Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Engineer Engagement Date: July 10, 2009 Wedding Date: August 2011 Venue: The Sundeck at The Little Nell About Me: I'm a small-town Midwest girl planning an intimate mountaintop destination wedding complete with a huge DIY at-home reception. As an honors graduate fallen victim to the worst job market in history in my area, we're doing everything we can to still have the wedding of our dreams on a tighter budget. I currently enjoy working at a winery, but I'm lonnng overdue for a day job! I am: a big-time daydreamer, one of the pickiest eaters you'll ever meet, and a lover of pretty paper and awesome fonts. I'm a girly girl who loves to get dolled up, but also a country girl who loves to get muddy and go 4-wheeler riding. I also enjoy singing in the car, boating, going to concerts, the History Channel, carnival food, and going to watch St. Louis Cardinals baseball with my handsome engineer.
About Mrs. Balloons

Sometimes we just need to take a break from planning, planning, planning to procrastinate daydream or, as I like to call it, “research” some lovely inspiration. My inspiration currently comes mainly attached with the terms rustic, vintage, earthy, woodsy, woodland, forest, or shabby-chic, since those are the vibes I’d like to come across at our reception.

I would just die to have some lovely furniture like this outside at our reception! Too bad pretty pieces like this cost a pretty penny…

I may be slightly obsessed with chandeliers. Definitely going to be using this idea of having them hang from the trees!

Here’s a DIY idea that I’d like to try using twigs.

I just love the idea of hanging framed pictures from our destination wedding in a tree like this.

Can you tell yet that I like having things hanging from trees…or anywhere else for that matter? We’re also going to be hanging either votives or small jars with candles in them throughout the trees.

This looks rather expensive…but *swooooon*!

Lot’s more where that came from—stay tuned.

The room is spinning from these delicious ideas. Like you and Ferris Wheel, I’m the queen of collecting more information than necessary (which results in procrastination).

I really, really wanted to do hanging votives at our wedding. Alas, it wasnt to be. But perhaps I can live vicariously through your wedding instead :)
