Bought the personalized Just Married sign from Orientaltrading.com

Attached it to the Limo Bus inside the door (kept the paper backing on) with tape.

Took picture in reflection with church in the background. Love the picture!

I bought the pre-cut letters from Joanne Fabric and painted them black. I then found a ribbon that matched the dresses and simply glued the letters on the ribbon, leaving room at the top to drape over door (and tape onto door on the inside). Made a cute pic, told the boys where NOT to go, and made me feel special entering!

My Grandma's new husband made this birdhouse/cardbox. He designed a special point to the roof that will fill up the card hole. It is amazing and I cant wait to display it when I have a larger house in which I can!

Casablanca 1965 White

Loved my dress. Swarovski crystals covered the bust in beautiful design, draped in a layered tulle, with more swarovski crystal designs on the bottom with a beautiful edging in the crystals as well. Beautiful crystaled buttons all up the back as well.

We made all the bouquets ourselves (family friend is a florist at a local grocery store). We bought the flowers from the grocery store individually and then assembled in our garage and stored in our refrigerator.

You will notice our creativity with finding containers that would keep the flowers in water, but not squished as well as not allowing the water to touch the ribbon (water stains) Each bridesmaid also had a charm flower wired onto their bouquet with their first initial so they knew whos was whos. Finally, I bought individual swarovski crystals and glued them onto pins to go up the ribbon.

BRIDESMAID BOUQUETS: purple and red. We used white spider mums (only because we were actually short a dozen regular red roses and we needed more filler) that we sprayed with both the red and purple flower spray found in the floral department. (Good thing we knew the place and people working there....there was more spray in the air than most likely safe and looked like a hairspray haze at a drag show!) Purple regular sized carnations, Purple mini carnations, mini (spray) red roses, hypericum berries in red and green, and seeded eucalyptus.

BRIDAL BOUQUET: Red and White. 23 Red roses (1 was saved for Groom's Boutonniere so we completed 2 dozen together) We used red roses and stephanotis (very expensive but so awesome!) Crystals glued to pins and stuck in the stephanotis. Stephanotis was wired and wrapped in floral tape. White ribbon on stems.

The clanging of glasses at a wedding often means the guests would like to see the bride and groom kiss. It is also a common theme for couples to try and find other ways in which their guests can make them kiss.

My husband was a volunteer for the Muscular Distrophy Association, being a summer camp counselor for 5 years. It is a charity and cause that is dear to his heart.

In order for us to kiss at our wedding we asked that our guests donate money to the MDA and the more money, the better the kiss. Boy did things get interesting. The best part, we had an anonymous donor that matched everything we raised. We were able to donate $300 to MDA and couldnt be prouder!
