#12 Will you be my bridesmaid? and some DIY

I would LOVE to have as much of my wedding to be DIY as possible, but let’s face it, even though I can come up with great ideas, and I can find (and borrow) millions of ideas from fellow bloggers online, my execution NEVER seems to turn out very well. That being said, I was shocked, excited, and relieved when my first DIY project turned out surprisingly well.

This project is how I asked my girls to be in our wedding. And I will be completely honest, I didn’t come up with this idea myself. The original idea was from Miss Poodle over at WeddingBee.com

Aren’t they Cute??

 

While I consider myself to be creative, I find that I love everyone else’s ideas a whole hell of a lot better than my own, so I guarantee that 90% of my DIY will be ideas from other bloggers and places on the web. But that’s OK right? I will definitely always give credit where credit is due!

 

Any ways, along with these cards, I purchased some cute frames and included a picture of myself and each girl in the frame. I was rather pleased with this project, and I think the girls liked them too. Here are some more pics.

 

 

We didn’t do anything special to ask the guys other than ask them, mainly because I couldn’t come up with anything that wasn’t too cheesy. I don’t think they minded though. They are all happy just to be in it.

 

How did you ask your gals or guys to be in your wedding?

#11 6 Months Later…

I can’t believe I haven’t posted in 6 months! OK, so I can believe it, I am a slacker… even at the fun stuff… But I am back! and with a more definitive outlook on my wedding. I now have a date AND location! (after changing the date and location once already) A lot has happened since my last post, I should catch you up. So, I will start with the most exciting part about our wedding (besides the obvious marriage between T.Love and myself). Drum roll please…

Because we are going to Disney World!

That’s right! We are soooo uber thrilled about this, and it feels so right! It’s where we met, T.Love popped the question at the Disney Store, and I am a tad obsessed, it just makes so much sense, which is why I can’t believe it wasn’t the first place we looked at. I guess in the beginning, when we were trying to pick our venue, we did consider Disney, but the weddings through the Disney Fairy Tale Wedding company were going to be way to expensive for us… so we wrote it off immediately. It wasn’t until AFTER we booked and paid a deposit on a ceremony and reception at a country club in Medina, Ohio, that I started to revisit the Disney wedding. I blame my mom for it too (Love you Mom!). Like I said, the hall was booked and deposit  was paid. But my mother frequently brought up destination weddings, and that it’s not too late to go that route, and she would say ‘so what if we lose the deposit’. She must have known that it wasn’t feeling right for me. I didn’t even know that… So eventually, that led up to me doing some research, and stumbling across disboards.com. This website was a godsend for me. It was the key factor in making the final decision to toss the Ohio Wedding, and go for the mouse house. Here I have learned the ways to have the Disney wedding without going through the Disney Fairy Tale Weddings company. And for much cheaper might I add. So thank you to all the ladies (and fellas) on the wedding forums at disboards.com! You were a HUGE help!
