Look!

Just a creepy/beautiful picture of nature being totally inspiring in its awesomeness. No big deal.

shoes

If I see one more pair of sparkly fucking Jimmy Choos that I can't afford on these god damn wedding websites, I'm going to vomit.

Photo booth!

Ha!

WOAH cake stand!

Woah woah WOAH, this would be so cool! GO FLIRT WITH SOME HANDY MAN CUTTING DOWN A TREE SOMEWHERE. I could make this EASY if we had the wood.

Unrelated to weddings...

...unless the caterer falls through! i just had to share this with you.

Mormon safety plan in case of forest fire/doomsday/zombie apocalypse. Very precise, and actually a good list to have if you live somewhere like our parents! Go figure.

Look look look!

Look at this freaking wedding! They read our collective minds! The jars! The lights! The sparklers!
EVEN THE HAND-SEWN HEART THINGS. Insane. And very cute, all of it :) Go look at all the pictures!

Copy cats

It's kind of funny how many aspects of this wedding are EXACTLY what I picture and what we've been talking about--all of the details! The glass jars! The globe candles! All of the greenery and natural feeling decorations! Lovely.

Yuummm

Um, I'm really going to try and talk one of my girlfriends into making this cheesecake for my wedding. Doesn't it look delish? Maybe we can make it!

Hair...

I think I found a good place to get our hair/nails done the day of! It's a salon in the Marigny called Rocket Science Beauty Bar, and they do everything from hair to makeup to waxing to nails. They even do shellac for $35, which is pretty good. Check out the reviews on yelp!

I thought maybe we could go around noon or so--maybe earlier?--for manicures and hair. I figure I'll do my makeup myself (yeek!), but if you were into getting a pro to do our makeup we could think about that. What do you think?

After the fact, of course...

I know this is fairly late in the game, but look at what I stumbled across...is this anything like the one you originally wanted? And cheap, too!!

Green Dress!

I know this is super expensive and I would never buy it at this price, but isn't it beautiful?? Something like this would be perfect for the wedding! I was thinking something longer and classier, and maybe I can find something like this but a little more mid-length.

Tablecloth!

How awesome is this diy tablecloth?? I'm not sure exactly what we could use it for--maybe desserts? Something at the crawfish boil? I don't even know! I just want to make one!

Plants

Totally made me think of you. And your future house. Nothing to do with weddings.

Crazy nails!!

Also, I know I have said this before but you should totally be watching Downton Abbey. Srsly. I just picked it up again and am about half way through the second season that just ended. I love the characters, the writing, the costumes, the sets, and most of all Maggie Smith. Watch it.

Love you very much

Washiiiiii

Washi Tape!

I could wear gold!

We could be like Kate and Pippa - wearing similar colors. Look at the...second dress in from the left, second row down. Gold. I love it! No idea where to find it though.

Succulents

I know you are into air plant (which I am totally into as well) but this is also a beautiful option if the air plants don't work out for any reason. These are SO EASY to steal, as I have found out recently...

Check out the image of the cake and the image of the bouquet. Very pretty!

Post #2 - Eye candy

Here are a bunch of fun wedding things:

1. I have recently become obsessed with putting things in lightbulbs. Here we see hanging candles. The only problem is you can't use the incandescent ones because handling the insides might give you mercury poisoning...bad stuff. And obviously the fancy curly ones wouldn't work. But still.

2. You could put candles up on tree posts! They could match the tree cake stands (See below post).

3. I always liked the idea of putting non-nature things in the bouquet, like a small charm. Not as...ambitious...as this, but I still like it.

4. It would be very cool and very scary to have this wedding:

5. But please don't have this wedding:

6. I am NOT sorry to say that I think this broad's bouquet is B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Srsly. Wut.

The internet is full of amazing things!

Love you.

Easy, Beautiful, Cheap, Green

Think we could do these with things around New Orleans? Know anyone with tree limbs in their back yard? Cause it would be neat-o to have these in all different heights for your desserts...

MY dress!

I totally wouldn't mind wearing something like this to your wedding...it looks a little too stiff for dancing, though. I think I want something a little...flowier. Still, simple and gorg.

Very pretty!

Let me know if the picture doesn't come through. Have you tried on the dress yet??

FIY -

Here is a post all about making your own bouquet! Go figure.

http://www.100layercake.com/blog/2009/09/09/diy-wedding-bouquets-by-brittni/

I thought maybe I could sew/bead/do something else around the base of whatever you are holding so it dangles down a bit around your hands...just a thought!

Woah!

OK also not pertaining to wedding. But isn't this COOL? Sorry in advance, but I honestly think this is one craft I will have to leave to the experts.

registry

Thinking of registering for this bedding, but I think it might be a little too off the wall. Plus, who's going to buy us a $250 duvet, even if it does have a gigantic octopus on it?

Emergency kit

Also, this is kind of funny but a really good idea. Seems silly to make one just for a wedding (although she's a wedding coordinator, so obviously she should have one), but I kind of want to have an emergency kit with all of that stuff in it just to carry around always.

Pot hole gardens

This has nothing to do with weddings, but it reminds me of you!

Cute

Someone did these as favors! Personally I lean much more towards something growable/edible, but they are sill cute.
