Light my fire!

Here's your first look at my first DIY (do it yourself) project for the wedding. :D

Mr. P picked up $100 boxes of matches for me at Wal-Mart for $10!

The rest of my supplies, pictured in photo #1, I ordered from Paper Source! In case you haven't heard of Paper Source you really need to check out their website! They have TONS of great paper products and almost anything else you'd need for a crafts project. I also just found out they opened a store in Charlotte and I can't wait to visit!!!

Anyways, I ordered an X-Acto Knife, pretty paper in our wedding colors, chartreuse green ribbon and the neatest little sticker machine ever!!!!

I've only made 10 so far, but I think they are just adorable and will look so cute displayed with sparklers for our exit! :D

So lovely!

Hi ladies and gent (I think P is my only male reader thus far), I just had to share this picture my mother sent me of the antique dessert plates she was able to find the other day.
If you remember the theme of the bridal luncheon is Shabby Chic and I couldn't adore these more!
Oh and in the background are the absolutely darling salt and pepper shakers she found.
Swoon!

A cure for my Monday blues...

Monday's are very uneventful work days for me so lately I've spent hour after hour searching the internet for unique finds to incorporate at the wedding.

Today I came across the site http://www.thehopejar.com/ and quite frankly I've fallen for their "fortune bottles", which are these beautiful vintage bottles each filled with it's own fortune.
Wouldn't they be fun to sit on each table? They'd be a great conversation starter.

The sweet smell of flowers!

"The Earth laughs in flowers." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our color scheme is mostly ivories and greens with pops of copper, coral and Tiffany blue.
These are some of the flowers you can expect to see at the wedding.
