A while back, I was introduced through a friend to Jon and Margaret. We hit it off immediately. They're such a fun and creative couple! Over drinks at a birthday party, I agreed to help them out with flowers for their wedding.

Normally, when a couple tells me that they are going to DIY their own stuff, I get a little nervous. Some people, are very creative and talented and can execute well... others have the vision in mind, but fail to launch so to speak. These guys absolutely blew me out of the water.

When I first met with them, I was told they wanted to do a bunch of little bottles with collections of flowers around one larger lantern. Primary color being purple, but they wanted a BUNCH of different colors added to the mix. I pointed them to this wedding asking if this is kind of what they had in mind: http://www.stylemepretty.com/2012/01/10/san-luis-obispo-wedding-by-ryan-ray-photography-2/

They loved it! So the process began. Overall for flowers, they had TWENTY EIGHT different kinds, which is the most I've ever had to prep. The LA flower market in late April is a virtual candy land of color and smells. Lilacs are in season, peonies are just coming out, there is every color under the sun. My list of flowers and greens included:
1. Mint
2. Purple Lilac
3. Blue Eryngium
4. Seeded Eucalyptus
5. Green Trick Dianthus
6. Pink Ranunculus
7. Salmon French Tulips
8. Billy Balls
9. Icelandic Poppies
10. Chamomile Daisies
11. Yellow Iris
12. Coral Peonies
13. Sherbet Orange Spray Roses
14. Tangerine Pin Cushions
15. Yellow Celosia
16. Purple Succulents
17. White Anenome
18. Purple Stock
19. Pink Dahlia
20. Maiden Hair
21. Pink Astilbe
22. Purple Carnation
23. Peach Stock
24. Green Mini Hydrangea
25. Disneyland Roses
26. Hot Pink Coxcomb
27. Scabiosa Pod
28. Lavender

Their wedding was held at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, which is a huge property with a ton of amazing photo opportunities. This is also where the newest Biggest Loser Resort is, and where they also shoot some of the exterior stuff for "True Blood".

I wanted to share with you all some of the details for their wedding which I thought made everything so amazingly personal and special.

What you really want is pictures! )

May. 30th, 2012

have any of you ever experienced having your fiance's family not really take a part in the whole wedding planning and such? I mean, my fiance's family is 2.5 hours away but still, they haven't offered to do anything to help and they aren't even coming until noon time on the day of the wedding so even if asked if to could help there is nothing they could do. I just expected them to want to be more part of it, considering this is a once in a lifetime (for most people!) event. I know not every one gets right into wedding planning and all that, but I was expecting his parent's to be more interested I guess? I know it's not mandatory that all parents jump right in and help out but yeah.

I am just in a ranting kinda mood I guess! anyone else experience this bit of disappointment? it's not really disappointment as it is... I don't even know! I just expected them to be more interested but so far his family has done nothing but try to suggest annoying things (like have the wedding outside at their camp which is 3 hours away in the middle of no where) and yeah. The crunch of the wedding being only 1 month and 8 days away is just getting to me I guess :P

Welcome Baskets?

So, my best friend has been saying for some time that we should put together "welcome baskets" for those people who are staying in our block of rooms (almost everyone is traveling to the wedding). I had never heard of this before and thought it was really stupid, but then my fiance and I went to a wedding this weekend and, as we registered at the hotel, we were handed a little gift bag filled with two bottles of water, a pack of tissues, band-aids, snacks, and candy.

I tell you, when I stumbled in from the reception at 1am, drunk off my kiester, I was never so glad to have a bottle of water and butterscotch krimpet IN MY LIFE.

So, best friend, you were right. Did y'all do these welcome baskets? And if so, what did you put in them?

Hi everyone! My intro post is here if anyone's curious.

We're having our ceremony at sunset, which is at 7:30 on our date. That's fairly late in the evening and I basically wanted to have several hours of everyone hanging out and eating beforehand. Sort of like an all-evening reception with a ceremony plopped in the middle. I'm trying to figure out how to express this on the invitation.

Right now this is what I have:

"[...] on Saturday, the eighth of September
two thousand and twelve
at seven thirty in the evening.

[location]
Please join us in the early evening for dinner
and after the ceremony for champagne and dessert."

Any suggestions? Honestly, it's a small wedding (around 40 guests) and it can probably get out by word of mouth that I want people to show up early. But I do also kind of want to have it down on paper.

Also I'm wondering if I should specify that it's sunset (like maybe say "at sunset, seven thirty") so people won't be like "huh."

Basically, just, someone help me out here, I have no idea what I'm doing. XD

ETA: Perfect! Thank you everyone!

Follow-up to the e-pic freakout post

Hi, ladies! So, you may remember me from this post, in which I was bugging the eff out over my upcoming engagement shoot. Since all of you were so helpful when I posted that, I figured you deserved an update.

The engagement shoot happened, I managed to find something to wear, and no one was (too) traumatized by the experience. The pics didn't end up being geeky at all, but by the end it just seemed like more trouble than it was worth. Our photographer just posted a bunch of the pics on his blog here. I'm somehow not at all surprised that my doofus of a fiance has managed to make me crack up in half of them. ^^;;;

Thanks again for all your help and advice!

Progress Post: Approx. 388 days to go

May. 17th, 2012

Hola, wedding planners! Sam here again ( this was my first post. )

I'm still many many weeks out from my October wedding, but only a few days out from leaving for my usual summer work in Belize. This is always hard for me and FH, but worth it in the long run.

So! Here's my question for you all! Should I start sending out wedding invites before I leave for the summer? The latest date I'll return in July 16th this year. Fiance and I are eager to get them out because they are so rad! )
But we don't know if now is too early. The All Knowing Internets tell me that 8 weeks is the magic date, but we have tons of out of towners, potentially coming from as far as Germany and Sweden. And Alamogordo NM is a tricky travel destination, even if you already live in the US.

Meanwhile, in RantTown, my caterer (one of 2 in my town) won't return my phone calls about getting a copy of her liquor license to the reception venue, and the reception venue won't let me pay them and seal the venue for us until they receive said liquor license. But, my dress arrived. So not everything is StressVille. / endcranky

Good luck to those of you who's dates are fast approaching! You got this! And thanks in advance for the advice.

Guest list dilemma

Hey WPers! We're in need of some outside perspective regarding a guest list issue.

I'm a bartender and I've worked at the same place for almost 6 years. I have a lot of "regulars" whom I've gotten to know over the last 6 years, some of whom I consider friends, and others who I am just delighted to see at work every day. They are all pretty close to each other (going on camping trips and motorcycle trips together), and I feel that if we want to invite some of them to the wedding (the ones I'm friends with and their spouses) we will have to invite all of them.  This would be simple, except one of the guy's wives (a guy who is definitely a "regular" and not a friend) HATES ME. She's been very vocal over the last couple years as to how I'm an arrogant, cocky bitch and how she's constantly surprised I've managed to stay employed there. She even calls the corporate office to complain about me once every couple months to try and get me fired. Her husband (who I do like) doesn't do or say anything about our conflict, as far as I know.

Clearly, she's not someone we want to invite to our special day. I know that she and her husband probably wouldn't come if we were polite and invited them anyway, but I really, really don't want to extend her the courtesy of an invite. I don't want to give her something else to complain about me, and I honestly don't want to risk them deciding to be gracious and both showing up at the ceremony or reception. She kinda makes me sick to my stomach and I want her in no way, shape, or form involved in our wedding day.

Our choices are as follows:
-Invite everyone, deal with this woman's drama
-Invite no one, be super sad about the 3 couples who I'd really like to be there
-Invite the 3 couples and not the rest of the group, risk hurt feelings and work becoming super awkward

Right now we've landed on "invite no one" but it makes me so sad :( Are we choosing the right path, do you guys think?

less than 2 months!

I posted a little while ago about favors and such. It seems like there is so many things to do! I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. I'm guessing this is normal at this point? :P

I just had a question... my bridesmaid is making the bouquets for me and the MOH/2 bridesmaids plus little corsages for the guys to wear. My mother just pointed out to me yesterday that my Jr Bridesmaid will need something to carry. I COULD ask my bridemaid that is making the flowers to make another bouquet but it is a lot of work as she is making them intricately out of felt/beads/embroidery thread and wire. I'd hate to ask her to make yet ANOTHER set of flowers (especially since she has also been helping me out with some costume stuff for our geeky hobbies).

so to shorten this up, if I don't have to ask her to make more flowers I'd be happy. Have you ever seen a junior bridesmaid carry anything besides a bouquet? The flower girl will already have the basket with petals. Is there any alternative that won't look plain strange and out of place for my Jr Bridesmaid? have you ever seen the jr bridesmaid with something different? any suggestions would be nice, or any pictures if you have ever seen something like this where a bridal party member was holding something different.

thanks so much :) you guys are always very creative and helpful!

Clothing for Engagement Session

Hi Ladies! I just wanted to see if there was any advice out there for what to wear at an engagement shoot. What were your experiences like?

Edit: Also, how long were your e-sessions? Mine's this upcoming Saturday and we have a 7 hour contract with her. 

Edit2: My photographer got back to me and wants us to bring 7 changes. Holy crap! Maybe I can convince my FH to bring his swords and we can wear our Ren Faire costumes.

Dry cleaning costs

What is a typical fee for dry cleaning a wedding dress?  I bought mine used and took it in to the cleaners, and they called me back with a revised estimate of $180.  This is a fairly simple taffeta strapless dress (no train, extra embellishments, etc), and there are no major stains.

Oh budgets

I'm looking for any words of wisdom, warnings, or things to keep in mind from those of you who used drop-off catering and/or supplied your own alcohol for your wedding!

We are trying to keep costs down and I really have my heart set on our plan of getting drop-off catering from a restaurant we like (they deliver the food hot in disposable chafing dishes) and still having open bar without paying ridiculous catering costs. (Our friends like to drink! And so do we.) I need to pick a venue in the next couple of weeks and I am prepared to have a hard time finding one that will allow this, even though we are fine with paying for liability insurance for the alcohol and all that..... Blah. I'm just getting overwhelmed and need some encouragement so if anyone successfully pulled this off please let me know how you did it!

On a happy note, I found two photographers that I love that are available on our date: www.onionstudio.net and www.lovelydayphoto.com  :-) I'll just focus on that!

Bridal shower invite wording

My little sister (MOH) is throwing me a shower at the end of the month. Due to her being out of state and in a rigorous grad program, I volunteered to make and send out the invitations so she didn't have to worry about it.

The wording she provided me for the invites are very standard and informational ("join us to shower Bride, on x date at x time, blah blah blah"), but I was wondering if I should somehow indicate that she's hosting? My mom's best friend is letting us use her house, so her address will be on the invitation, and there's no RSVP since it's going to be an open-house style party, so there won't be anything, really, to show all the work my sister is putting into planning this party.

Is it proper to indicate a host, if there is one? If not, should I not worry about this? If so, how should I word it?

Thanks!

Organizing the Ceremony

I know a lot of wedding stuff is rented, but what about all the special touches? If you bought, or made a lot of neat stuff to make your wedding decor extra personalized... what happened to it after the big day? It seems like a lot of wedding stuff would just go in the trash afterwards. I mean, you can't keep it all! And certain things don't seem like things anyone else would really want. 

Did you have to throw a lot of stuff away? If so, was it worth it to you? If not, how were you able to re-purpose things so that they were able to be integrated into your (or someone else's) decor?

A friend and I were talking the other day about the ages in which people get married this day in age and how it differs from years ago. Can ya'll answer this poll please? I'm really curious to know the answer.

I can't wait to start reading everyone's posts, getting advice and inspiration, and seeing how the rest of you are handling your own events!

That's it! Thanks for reading, and good luck to you all as well. :)

Invites: Need a reality check

Picking out invitations (and all of the picky details that entails) is starting to boggle my mind, and I'm starting to lose sight of what is reasonable. So here's a not-so-tactful question: How much did you spend on your invites, and what did you get, and how many, for that price? I'm staring at a list of prices and trying to decide if they make sense or not. (Of course, what doesn't help is that I'm really not terribly crafty, plus my primary wedding color isn't one that ever appears in one of those print-your-own kits.)

Progress Post-199 Days

Hello again! Long time no post, but I've been following this community pretty closely.  To refresh memory, I'm an Autumn bride getting married in November. At the time of my intro post (http://weddingplans.livejournal.com/19841502.html) I was planning a wedding in Winchester, VA.  Now we've moved it to Lake City, SC.  My fiance's family was not being much help in the planning aspect of it, and my stepmother doesn't have any daughters and was chomping at the bit to do stuff...it just made sense to move.  My only problem is this: we have a church reserved, but the banquet hall is not nearly large enough for the amount of guests we're having.  So now we're scrambling to find a venue.  I don't necessarily think it is going to be a problem, but I'm chewing my nails down to the quick until I have it secured.  I'm kind of at a standstill with the rest of my planning (a list of what I've actually got accomplished is below) until I know where the reception is going to go down. 

So. This is what I've got so far.

-Engagement Photos Taken
-Church Reserved
-Dress and veil are designed and I'm nailing down my measurements to complete the order
-I have a floral designer
-Save the dates have been mailed
-Caterer is selected and menu finalized
-My stepmother is making fall shaped chocolate favors (Acorns, apples, pumpkins and maple leaves)
-Bridal and Groom's party chosen and bridesmaids have been trying on dresses. We think we've got one picked out, but waiting on final approval from all the girls for price and style.
-Hair and makeup artist chosen
-Photographer chosen and date is reserved
-My (step)brother is a preacher, so he is officiating the wedding

SO MUCH MORE TO DO!!! Tuxes to be picked out, decorations to finalize, wedding bands...my head is spinning.  I do have some questions to ask the community, and I have several, so I hope that's okay. I don't want to overwhelm or wear out my welcome here.

~It's a barbecue reception. The ceremony is going to be somewhat formal, but I want the reception to be laid back.  Do y'all think "nice" clear plastic plates, cups, and cutlery is too tacky?

~I am having a really hard time finding an invitation that I like that is within my price range. My guest list is 200 people.  Custom invitations are frightfully expensive, so I don't want to go that route. Would really just like to have a very simple ivory invitation with an autumn theme (perferably a single maple leaf or pumpkin at the top or something...) does anyone have any reccomendations for affordable invitations that have a decent selection of simple autumn invitations?

~Wedding ring for the FH. He is an engineer, and his work is rough on his hands. He wants a strong ring. Gold is too soft, platinium doesn't look good with his skin tone, and we can't find a titanium ring that isn't plain. Is there another metal that I can consider? Is there a website that I can be directed to for a patterned ring?

~My mother passed away last year.  I've also lost a couple of close uncles within the same 18 month period. My fiance lost his grandmother as a teen, and we want to acknowledge them at the wedding, but it's been suggested to us that introducing something so depressing about so many dead people at the ceremony is just going to bring people down. (My original idea was during the Mothers' Walk, to have my other brother walk first with a candle and light a memorial candle in front of a portrait of my mother. I've been told this may be too maudlin and not appropriate.) What would be a tasteful way to honor them?

~It's a dry reception, but I'm having an after party in Myrtle Beach.  How does one go about reserving blocks of rooms? What is that process like?

I have many more questions, but like I said, I don't want to seem overwhelming, and any suggestions received are appreciated. Thank y'all so much. 

60 days! Eppp!

60 days…. When did that happen?

Small Refresher, Jake and Alexis from Colorado, getting married in Grand Junction (about 5 hours from where we live in Colorado) all teams got thrown out of the window a while ago and when asked I usually say it’s a “crazy, comic book, geek, Greek, 50’s, DIY, love fest at a vineyard”

And if you are addicted to Pintrest like me, here is my wedding board : http://pinterest.com/tragickore/june-24-2012-inspiration/


Things I have done :
Venue Booked
Caterer booked
Photographer booked
STD and Invites have been sent out and RSVP’s are trickling in (it’s a destination wedding so I sent the invites out early)
Have dress it is currently being altered
Most BM’s and GM’s have their clothing.
Ceremony music
Rooms booked for before wedding for FH and I
Bouquet
BM gifts (necklaces and hair pieces for the wedding)

Things I’m in the middle of doing :
Guest book ... About 70% done
Card box … About 98% done
Center pieces … About 30% done
Programs … About 90% done
Ceremony wording … about 70% done
Boutonnieres … about 20% done
Cupcake stands … about 50% done

Things I have not done :
Booked rooms for after wedding
Wedding bands
Unity Ceremony
Wine Ceremony Box (but I maid these last two things FH’s responsibility and he promised to pick them up after next pay day)
Losts of other things I’m sure….


And now it’s time for PICTURES! (Programs, jewelry, bouquet, BM gifts, Guest Book, Card Box)
Follow me! )


Biggest concerns right now:
Where to get hair, make up and nails done. Since this is a destination wedding I can’t go in for a trial but even that is not bothering me as much as my wedding is a Sunday wedding and EVERY salon I have called for far is closed on Sunday. Grrrrrr!

And the Rehearsal dinner, I’ve been doing the match and it is going to cost me like 400 bucks to feed 30+ people dinner… somehow I kninda forgot about that dinner and thus forgot to set aside the money… so that will be interesting ...

And one you ladies might be able to help with...

Show me your Reception Dance Mix's!

Progress post: 150 days (eeeeee!)

Wedding-Related Deals on Ruelala

I know that a lot of people here want to save money on their wedding planning, just as I did (I got married last August and have been lurking and sporadically commenting since), and I just got my daily e-mail from Ruelala.com and they are having a bunch of promotions on wedding-related items (including wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses).

If you're not aware, Ruelala is a site that offers discounts on designer items. I've gotten way too sucked in recently and it's eating up more of my spending money than I'd like to admit...

Anyway, if you want to join, you can do so through this link. It's an invite-only website, so you have to be invited by a current member. Of course, for full disclosure: that is my personal invite link and if anyone signs up and then makes a purchase I get a $10 credit.

The wedding items will be on sale for about 2 more days and it looks from my very quick glance that the dresses are $350-700 for the sale price. They also have accessories.
