Little Gift?? (for you of course....)

My thoughts on Wedding Favors...

People like food! (aka Nicole Likes Food)

I am thinking something yummy and edible... EVERYONE LOVES A CAKE POP or A TRUFFLE or a LITTLE CUPCAKE!

No one likes the awkward gift in which you KNOW you are going to throw out or give to a child.

I like the reaction of...
Inside head voice: "Wow, I have had a lot to drink and I have the munchies! Crap, the food has been put away... food food food food food...
Loud Voice: "CAKE POP!!!! YESSSSSSSS! BEST FAVOR EVER!"

Thoughts???

Bouquets...

Back to my roundness 

Bouquet for Valerie in 

White (hopefully she will be wearing PINK!)

I want a Pink Bouquet like this Round, Rose, & Hydrangeas! 

My Style..

My Style for the wedding needs to be clean lines.. Very geometric. I hate Foofy centerpieces. See below (the pink flowers, very pretty, but not me.. I will protest!!)

Hence.. My wedding needs to look like this.. save the ooooo's and ahhh's .. its going to be EPIC!

I scanned these from a wedding magazine in mid 2010, but this is it! I must HAVE!

Tables...

Oh La La.. I just found these on Pinterest and online...
So I would like to have a mix of long tables and round ones..

Think the bottom grey but with the yellow flowers (but not yellow) just the shape.. white roses or hydrangeas.. yes!!

Do we see where I am going with this?

Food Ideas

I love the idea about having a "Mini Comfort Foods" Station or as the appetizers..

These make my inner fat kid soo happy.. yummmmmmmmm!

All that's missing is a mini mac and cheese!!

Beautiful Day...

Today consisted of the following: Snuggle buns (aka Gaston) The beach New sun tan stuff - oils lotions rtc. And a stack of wedding magazines!!! Wedding nugget#1: I learned some new favors ideas I really liked!!! Win win for everyone! Wedding nugget #2 - i learned the proper order for the ppl walking down the aisle. Note to self: my mother needs to walk down the aisle with someone.. That's tbd Xoxo, The bride

the Date

The date of our wedding has been a very fun journey... let me explain...

We had like the following dates:
December 29th: Everyone's has off around that time of year... its Gnocchi Night and we just all around like it..
November 17th: My Grandparent's 66th Wedding Anniversary.. HOW SWEET!

and that's it.. we were pretty sure that we would get them... oooh fate is a fickle bitch..
December 29th - another very good friend of ours is getting married, Fernando's Cousin, Monica.
November 17th - the Church is having a massive retreat that day and its not movable.. i begged. not happening..


so at the moment we are looking at the alternatives...
11.10.12 - pretty cool..
12.1.12 - kinda cool too...

We will have a final answer on April 2nd 10:30 AM.. Expect a post on that then...
