It All Adds Up

May 24th, 2011 @ 9:44 am by Mrs. Cinnamon Bun

The wedding, it’s a-comin’! And we are gathering all those last little details together.

  • Cinnamon Buns and I went to a local book sale to get some more decor (and one a few some books to actually read too!):

We went looking for blues/greens plus gorgeous old vintage books of any colour.

  • We’ve decided to not have snackies before the ceremony, but have water and lemonade available. We checked with the caterer about him setting all this up—the cost was a little rich for just having some water out, so we ordered two of these from Classic Hostess:

Appropriate, no? We’ll get some nice clear plastic cups and call that done. Plus, we can use them for sangria the next day!

  • I ordered some cute thank you notes on Etsy with our initials on:

By Silhouette Blue (we ordered the Peacock Blue colour, and requested that the & be replaced with the heart we’ve used on other paper products)

  • I fell down the rabbit hole and ordered some striped paper straws for the reception:

I’m sorry, they’re too cute not to have! (From SugarDiva)

  • And a larger detail…we bought Cinnamon Buns a new pair of glasses that don’t have transition lenses, so he won’t be wearing shades all through the wedding photos. :)
  • Mum is making us bunting for the balcony out of apple-green ribbon and old book pages. I think she was happy to be given a task she could do from far away!

It’s been a great feeling to go from feeling like nothing will get finished evarrrrr to check, check, checking things off the list.

June brides, how are your details doing?

Stripey straws are definitely too cute not to have. I 100% agree and approve!
