Honeymoon

After much debate we finally figured where to take our honeymoon, on the beautiful island of Maui. On a random search of hotels in Maui, I found this amazing boutique hotel in Wailea. Sooo excited! I have never been to any of the islands so it will be a brand new adventure for me. The best part of this hotel is that it was built to cater to the japanese businessmen, so they have an amazing traditional japanese bathhouse/spa on the property.

Grand Exit

For our grand exit, I really didn't want things thrown at me or deal with the mess rice/flowers would create, so I thought sparklers would be perfect. Plus the pictures I have seen with the couple running through a row of sparklers creates such an awesome photo. Kinda reminds me of the Great Gatsby for some reason.

Front Door

Since we are doing a backyard wedding at Chase's grandmother's house, I need to find a way to spruce up the front doors to make the whole house seem like a wedding venue. I thought these front door wreaths were an adorable way to greet the guests.
** Ignore the weird vase, Chase always gets freaked out thinking that is what I want to do

Flowers

Not wanting to go with the whole cliche red roses, but wanting to stay with red flowers since my wedding colors are red/brown, I finally found the perfect flowers. Love these so much and they seem to fit well with the whole antique theme I have going. White flowers for my bridesmaids and the red for me.

Hoot!

My love for owls pretty much inspired my whole wedding. Centerpieces for the tables are going to be antique bird cages filled with candles and flowers. Table markers are either going to be a variations of birds or all owls, since my little owls need to be incorporated somehow in my wedding.

Escort Cards

Now that I have finally figured out my wedding theme of birds/fall branches I can use this idea I found awhile ago for the escort cards.

Shoes!

Now that I have my wedding dress, I have been on a hunt for the perfect shoes. Husband to be is exactly my height, so it has been challenging to find a pair of flats that I would want to wear. My current obsession with wedding blogs brought me upon these amazing pair of shoes. They came out Spring 2009 and in limited quantities, so pretty much impossible to find now especially in white. I MUST find these though. Best part they are only a 2.5" heel!

Ideas

Finally started a blog to put together all my wedding ideas.

I have been OBSESSED with this wedding when I found the photos on JessicaClaire.net. I am so in love with this dress, so delicate and gorgeous.
