a matter of color

Finally I have finished all the paper flowers for my bouquet. Initially I had wanted to put butterflies in it, and well, sometimes a vision does not look as great in real life. So now I have all these paper flowers that so much time and effort went into, but I feel that I really need more color then they have to offer. I love pops of color, I need a pop. These butterflies offer just that. I am thinking possibly a butterfly bouquet !? Too many crafty ideas can make a person crazy. It makes me wonder how some people get anything done.

colors and a want ad

I have changed the wedding colors, slightly. I could not get over the fact that the purple and the mustard reminded me of the lakers. I really like the blue though, I think its going to look stellar.

If anyone can assist with helping me I need to obtain/locate the following items:

---Vintage Books (I am looking in to library sales, but I only found one occurring in the next month)

---Used Mason Jars (any color, but clear would be ideal, they need to be able to hold a tea light candle)

---Table cloths (went to the flea market with no luck. I am looking for color, no white ones)

If you have any leads, or any ideas let me know. Your assistance is much appreciated :)

dresses

growing up i have never been matchy, matchy. according to my mother, she did not even know if i knew how to match. so the bridesmaid dress thing is super hard for me to grasp. also its hard to express the fact that i do not really mind what you wear to be in the wedding, as long as it fits into the "color scheme" (yup i have one!) and its cute. i think my friends are secretly matchy matchy. its so much easier to be a guy in this situation. I do however adore this picture, simple backyard wedding, darling dresses on the bridal party. no matter what everyone wears, its going to be awesome. . .

so things are getting done, i am just too busy to post about it. i put inserts in the envelopes using old magazines, its kind of random but i think its a cute touch. i also finished the first part of the place cards, needless to say i am way over embossing at the moment. the invitations are starting to come together, i am super excited about them. for now here is a shot of some of my lovely envelopes.
