I have missed you oh so much. Words can not describe. The way you smile. The way you make me laugh. The way you light up a room. It has been too long.
Seriously! Sorry for being MIA. I’ve been wrapped up in my new job, which I am going to be a total attention whore and tell you all about it. I got my dream job,…

Okay, not really. But holiday entertaining is already on my mind thanks to the latest issue of Blueprint magazine. I love this setup and it could totally be done for a wedding as well! I love Christmas themes that aren’t done in your typical red and green.

The programs were my biggest pain in my ass. There was the paper folding. There was the paper punch on the front cover. There was the issue of getting the yarn through the itty bitty little holes. Then there was getting all the info onto less than 10 pages. Who wants to read a 10 page wedding program!?

Our econfetti poppers were a huge success–the months of saving toilet paper rolls totally paid off. You think I’m kidding. Sadly, I am not. I saved hundreds of toilet paper rolls. As did my bridesmaids and my parents. And then there was the HUGE task of decorating each.

Hotel Monaco was all sorts of awesome. I had a hard time trying to figure out what hotel we wanted to stay in, but in the end–money won out. A sororority sister of mine worked at the hotel and we ended up getting the biggest suite they had for $50!

Setting the right mood was very important to me. I wanted an evening wedding with lots of candlelight. “But guests are going to be so hot in the church with that many candles!” I think they can handle a half hour of hot flashes for the sake of ambiance!

When it came to wedding details, I didn’t just stop at wedding decor. I made sure that the bridesmaids, flower girls, and myself all had a little sumthin’, sumthin’.
Necklaces from ebay.

The one comment that I got most about our wedding was about how much “stuff” we had. I’m glad they noticed–cause that “stuff” took a whole lotta time to coordinate! From chandeliers in the trees to the candy buffet–I agonized over every little detail. But, I’m glad I did!

When I told everyone I wanted baby’s breath everywhere, they looked at me with disdain. It’s cheap. It’s a filler flower. Yes, I know, and I want it! I wanted to invoke a certain feel to the day and I was convinced baby’s breath would help me do it!

Everyone kept telling me that I wouldn’t have time to eat. Screw that. I MADE time. Turkey stuffed figs, wrapped in bacon? Mini cubano sandwiches? Mashed potato martini bar? Carving station? Yeah, I don’t pass those kinds of things up.

The well-wish cards were one of my favorite wedding details. I had a hard time deciding how I was going to display them however. I debated between placing them in jars or hanging them from branches of a mini tree. In the end, laziness won out and I placed them in a little shabby chic cheese drawer. Totally random, I know.

Every bride loves their cake. Not me. I wanted to MAKE love to my cake. It was iridescent and pink and just plain lovely. Ginny McGavin did a fabulous job. She’s affordable and makes a fabulous tasting cake to boot! The only thing I would have changed would have been to put some soft pink flowers around the cake stand itself. And that was totally…
