My sister is getting married in about two weeks, so i've got wedding on the brain lately.
I recently asked her to send me some pictures that influenced her style for the wedding and reception.
she's got about 100+ white milk glass vases and bowls and she's going to have the florist do some free form arrangements on the tables. i do like the idea of having a contrasting colored 'napkin' under it since the table will be mostly white. I think it's going to look very nice.
i won't show a picture of her dress because that's not my place to do. Maybe after the wedding i'll post a few. But knowing what her dress looks like i thought it would be neat for her to do a more vintage 20s inspired veil and she told me that she had bought a birdcage veil from a shop in etsy.com

I remember my uniqueness for my own wedding was more along the lines of gothic punk. I wore white fishnets and black knee high doc martens during the reception. My parents still think i'm a nuts :)
what was your favorite wedding detail?

My favorite wedding detail? The divorce. LOL
Awesome T, I want to see pix of the fishnets and docs! I wore foam flip flops that were extremely comfy. You were there for mine, but I will share anyway. My theme was harvest of love and in fact many of the little vase flowers were picked on the way to the wedding and I believe you helped with the arrangements (beautifully I must say). It was at the end of September so fall colors-I loved that my bridesmaids dresses were all a different shade of fall...I also went with a multi-colored bouquet arrangement and really dig that aspect. Can't wait to see pix from Michelle's wedding!
mrs k - helped? i WAS the official flower arranger, i'm still waiting for my payment in more wine :)
i've had someone else ask to see my pictures, i only know of 2 that i have digitally so i'll post some at a later date. cuz i know i have pics of me with my dress hiked up, dancing to the cure with my doc martens on.
Um, let's see - there were a few things:
- I had my 3 parents stand up when the preacher asks who was giving me away, though I walked with my dad
- I had my 3 sisters wear different colors of the same gown
- I, too, used a colorful bouquet - I always thought white on white made it look like the flowers didn't match, but that's just me
- We only did a SMALL amount of "formal" pictures (and even then, using our own camera) - mostly group shots - the rest was from people who brought cameras and shared them with us and disposables we spread around - we have over 400 wonderful memories from that
- We made our own cake - 3 tiers on separate stands that Tom built covered in white satin
- I was THRILLED when the kids did their own thing, rather than horrified - I wanted them to have FUN at my wedding :)
