Flight of Ideas

It has been 9 days since my last post. Woops! I have really dropped the ball on the every other day thing. However, I pretty much stick to that when it comes to the wonderful cookies and cream ice cream in the freezer :P

Item 1.

The shoes I ordered for my mom's wedding came about two weeks ago. They are no where near as blue as in the picture (which I copied into a previous post). They are teal actually. I got the largest size of them that Forever21 sold......They are too small. Bummer. But maybe its a blessing in disguise as teal and black may not work so well. So I am ordering these instead cause they come in a bigger size and they are red, which will go awesome with the black dress and some gerbera daisies (mom's wedding flower of choice).

Item 2.

Mike has vetoed the cupcake tower idea because he hearts cake. So I am going to let it go and let him eat cake. :)

I found another cake that I love. It would look neat to add some red to it. Maybe some of the layers are piped with red instead of blue or something.

Item 3.

Still trying to find a time to make an appointment at the Glendale Civic Center. Our schedule and the wedding coordinator's just never match up!

Item 4.

I saw a really cool idea online today. On the Style Me Pretty blog. This couple had their guests keep their name cards and write notes to them on the back and then hang them up on a tree that was on a table during the reception. The cards looked like luggage tags and they had a little satin string on the end. Very cute.

I've also been thinking about having a table of different candies on a table. Sort of like a candy bar. Glendale Civic Center will put one together for you. I have to figure out how flexible they are with things. I could do a lot on my own. Like finding candies that match our wedding colors and collecting cool jars or something.

Also found really cute favors. They are called "Cupcake in a Jar". One couple that Style Me Pretty featured got these as favors. The label is very cute. The picture won't paste so here's the link.

Anyways, the label reads "We love you like a fat kid loves cake. Thanks for celebrating with us."

So many ideas! Can't wait to see how it all turns out! :)
