Favors

The reception is going to be a dessert and coffee bar with light hor'dourves. In saying that, I found these adorable monogram cappacunio favor mixes
http://www.accenttheparty.com/inc/sdetail/8231> !! How wonderful!! I am also going to do a candy bar, but that will be open the entire reception because we are going to have lots of children.

I also love the above display of favors. I am not sure if I am going to use this, but I just think it is SOO cute and I need to find a way!

Guest Book and Card Box

I LOVE this guest book and card box. However, the price on both is a little much. I am thinking of making both of these a DIY. I can simply buy a black guest book and wrap it with green ribbon and a diamond broach. For the card box I found damask boxes on http://www.organize.com/photo-box-damask-print.html. I may even just use this instead of make the "present" look...I think it is something most people will not even notice :)

Monogram Madness

I would monogram everything if I could. I couldn't help but love these simple touches of monograming...hopefully I haven't gone mad with it. I am going to do the napkins in green. I LOVE the cake and I am still deciding what color I should do the bow in?

Theme: Black and White Damask with a SPLASH of Green

I found this picture and new this is what I wanted for the wedding. I am going to do black table cloths instead of green. I am going to pop the green with the napkins and flowers.

Bridesmaid Dresses

I have always had my heart set on black dresses. I found these wonderful black dresses in David's Bridal's new SPRING collection. I am going to have the girls wear ivory pearls and do simple tulip bouqets.

We are Engaged!

Josh and I got engaged on December 8th, 2008 in Lynchburg, VA! He did an AMAZING job... Josh asked my parents to come up to Lynchburg and surprise me. I had no idea they were there. I originally thought we were going to meet his sister who was visiting from out of town for dinner. On our way she called and said she was lost. We met her downtown at these beautiful, historical steps. He had light 100 candles to line the steps and at the top of each flight was a blown up picture of us and a rose with a note. When we reached the top he proposed and his sister was in the bushes taking pictures. My parents and Amy were around the street corner. We then went to my favorite restaurant for dinner (Main St. Eatery)!! Oh yes, and my ring is beautiful, it is a little over a carat set in platinum!
