Toilet Paper Rolls Are Actually Quite Versatile.
October 16th, 2007 @ 11:51 am by Mrs. Strawberry
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.
Our Room Threw Up.

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!
This Little Light of Mine, I’m Gonna Let It Shine!

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! 
Details Part Two: Accessories

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.
Details Part One: “Stuff”
October 12th, 2007 @ 5:34 pm by Mrs. Strawberry
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!

Baby’s Breath… Are You Sure?
October 10th, 2007 @ 6:35 pm by Mrs. Strawberry
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!
I’m Not Gonna Lie. I Like To Eat.
October 10th, 2007 @ 2:26 pm by Mrs. Strawberry
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.
Please Take Your Seat.

I had originally planned on placing my mini buttons on little place cards like Martha did, because well, Martha did.
Wish Me Well!
October 6th, 2007 @ 4:32 pm by Mrs. Strawberry
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.
