invitations (should be out in a week)
seating for reception


nothing done:
decorations (balloons?lanterns? lights? a way to hang lights?)
table decorations (linens, candles)
officiant
vows/ceremony
dress
grrrrroom clothes
rings
registry
landscaping/cleaning backyard
photobooth

crap.

adorable little succulents

continuing the succulent obsession, I love these little arrangements, via brooklynbride. I love the contrast with the nature and concrete pots.

martha and her paper

More paper love from martha. These are from the most recent (I think...) MSW. Her stylists are amazing to be able to make simple paper accordion decorations look so swanky.

I wonder how I can fit these into our reception. Maybe as a backdrop for the photobooth?

I love this creative arrangement of paper laterns that I stumbled on while searching on party perfect for some baby shower ideas (NOT me... for a co-worker).

Everything from Martha's walmart line. I wonder if they still have these things??

Amazing creation by Ashley Ann, with DIY here.

envelopes

Because what is more important than envelopes?

well, everything, actually. like .... the whole getting married to your best friend part.

but you still gotta send your invites in something, right?



I have some kraft paper envelopes from Thailand that I bought in a random art shop in Mae Hong Son, but I don't think any of the sizes I bought will actually work.

The one above is$1 per envelope, which seems cheap, from Jam Paper. But not compared to the thai ones, which I purchased for the very reasonable price of 45 baht (about $1.20 USD) for a pack of 40. man, I miss Thailand.




These are 10 for $8. Plus they seem a little brighter in color. oh shit. I just became the bride who cares about the shade of an envelope.

oh shit.

I'm done.

most awesome photo booth ever?

yeah. I think so.

created by sasha souza for kristen*’s wedding (via kiss the groom - check out more pics there)

Made with a huge sheet of plywood, covered in wallpaper, with frame holes cut out. Nice added touch of the bride and groom's family photos.

I mean, this is clearly very ambitious, but not totally out of the realm of DIY possibility, right? riiiiiight?

even woodier

love this kraft paper + wood veneer combo (and rounded corners!) from night owl paper goods
