wedding beverages

We had some feedback that the invitations were a little vague as to what we were providing for drinks.

Our Stella has offered to make us two kinds of wine! A white and a red. And I've had her red before and it's delicious! So amazing.
So we'll have that (enough for everyone), plus I plan to make some sangria.
Probably some Strongbow will be on hand as well.
And juice for the kiddies coming will also be available.

Anything else you guys need, is on you.

Dig it.

Casting calls starting soon

These cupcakes are AMAZING! I love that they are totally in their place!

In (my) real life they would be straight like that for maybe 10 seconds before someone ahem me messed the whole thing up by EATING THEM! Or a dog could wander by and knock the table with a happy tail.
These things happen.

And THESE again! What the hell are they called?

I want a couple so I can have a grown up punch (hello sangria) and a kid friendly one.

Would the Dudes be totally bummed out if I decorated with heart garlands?

Although maybe I would decorate with paper hearts, and leave the lighting special effects for my blockbuster autobiography starring Rachel Bilson as me.

Yeah I took it there.

procrastinating

I've added a couple more links to the inspirational wedding blog list, just to the RIGHT.
I am spending WAY too much time browsing wedding blogs these days.
I know that I should be working on something, you know, like WORK!
But it's just so easy to take a quick peek here or a wee gander there.

Plus it is much more fun than pounding the crap out of a sheet of metal (sometimes) or waiting for flux to dry (always).

Some of the ideas that I am leaning towards these days...
Sangria in a pour your own container. (I don't know what it's actually called, pitcher? Carafe? Giant jug with spout?)

Gold leafed rocks as decorations...

Hand punched aluminum cans as candle holders...

So cute!
Plus totally fitting in with my theme of total DIY domination.

Watch out world.
She's CRAFTY.

Might do this...

Or something like it anyway.
Check out the How To at Style Me Pretty here.

Then there is THIS dress.

I know that I am going ON about dresses, but they are SO AMAZING.

So deal with it.

Gorgeous sweater/wrap

I saw this the other day and I absolutely LOVE IT!
Wouldn't it look amazing with that JCrew dress?
sigh!
