playing catch-up.

things have been so busy lately but i have made so much progress in terms of the wedding! i decided to start collecting various milk-glass pieces for the flower arrangements for the reception. my mom and i have been antiquing like mad and i've collected about a dozen pieces so far. i promise i'll post pics soon. i can't wait to see them on the tables with white hydrangeas or peonies or gardenias or magnolias -- i know! i need to talk to a florist and start making some decisions! anyway, is anyone else collecting milk glass? i think it's a beautiful way to incorporate history as well as a wonderful way to recycle beautiful things from the past. and it's been so much fun!

i also found some beautiful antique sheet music that i'll be using to make cones for the petal-tossing ... has anyone seen a step-by-step to make the cones? i thought it would be really simple but maybe the paper just isn't the right size? any ideas?

oh, i also found the most gorgeous antique pin that i'll have to find someway to incorporate -- either on the dress or in my hair or something -- i'll have to post a pic later.

i also think i've found THE dress.

xoxo,

calling all creative brides and grooms.

because i've been away from the blogging world for a few weeks, i just recently found out about this amazing contest and seriously almost fell off my chair! the super talented anne ruthmann, who i've been obsessed with ever since i found her delicious blog, is offering free wedding photography to one 'indie, offbeat, green, and DIY couple!'

i find it so refreshing and wonderful that a photographer as talented as anne is willing to be so generous and do it in such a fun way, all while highlighting the benefits of going green and being unique! this contest just gives me warm fuzzies and i can't wait to follow along and see what happens!

even though i have a TON of stuff going on this week, i made it a priority to get my act together and i just submitted an entry for j&i. the deadline isn't until friday so get creative and send in your own entry! click here for more info on how to enter & good luck! :o)
