Flourish Friday

It is time for me to start thinking about the kind of flowers I want for my wedding. Since it is taking place in the Spring I do want seasonal flowers. I have a few that I have in mind. I love tulips, calla lilies, hydrangeas and orchids.

On Fridays I will be sharing a picture of a bouquet or centerpiece flowers that I really like. This week I chose a bouquet of white mini calla lilies with a pearl wrap around the stems. Just classic!

My Save the Date

Thoughtful Thursday

So in my midst to try to write a post every day, I am going to try to have a theme for each day of the work week.

Here is what I came up with:

Blue Monday
Tisk Task Tuesday
Wedding Wednesday
Thoughtful Thursday
Flourish Friday

So for my first Thoughtful Thursday, I'd like to get your thoughts on the following video clip http://blog.ourweddingday.com/3563297. I think it's hilarious! I would never do anything like this but think it definitely brings a different vibe to a wedding.

Color Me Blue

So according to the Perfect Palette, one of the most important things you can do when planning your wedding is picking your color palette. I have to agree with this. Your wedding revolves around the colors that you pick.

When I was first thinking about my wedding, I wanted an outside spring wedding with my bridesmaids in pastel color dresses. After talking to my fiance, I quickly learned that the pasetl colors weren't going to fly. So after our discussion we compromised on shades of blue. Our main colors are a midnight blue and a crystal/light blue. We will be adding touches of white and silver in our accessories and reception decor.



What is your color palette or what would you like it to be?

Falling for the Falls

When Joey and I first started talking about where we wanted to go for our honeymoon our first destination pick was Rome. Joey loves history and really enjoys roman history. We wanted to see the Coliseum and the Pantheon and eat some authentic Italian food. Unfortunately a trip to Rome is not cheap! The plane tickets themselves were $2,000.

So one day I was driving to work and heard some one on the radio talk about Wichita Falls and it made me think of Niagara Falls. So I started researching everything we could do at Niagara Falls and how much it would cost and made the decision that this would be a fun & romantic place for us to go on our honeymoon.

We will be spending four nights at the Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel & Spa in Niagara Falls, Canada. The room has an AMAZING view. While we're there we would like to

•Take a helicopter tour. niagarahelicopters.com•Take a journey behind the falls. niagaraparks.com
•Visit the bird kingdom. birdkingdom.ca
•Take a ride on the maid of the mist. maidofthemist.com
•Eat dinner at the Skylon Tower. skylon.com
•Visit the Nightmares Fear Factor. nightmaresfearfactory.com

So where did you go on your honeymoon or planning on going?

Rings in a Box

Rings in a box or rings on a pillow? Well I have decided that our ring bearer, Joey's cousin, will carry our rings in a box. It is very elegant & classy. Also I think a box is more useful afterward. It will be engraved with a 'L' and can be used as a jewelry box after the wedding.

What are your thoughts? Did your ring bearer carry your rings in a box or on a pillow?

Save the Date

With the wedding 10 months away, I will be purchasing "Save the Date" magnets next month to send to family who will be coming from out of town. I have looked at several sites and picked a handful that I like. The problem I'm having is I can't decide. I'm torn between picking something that goes with our theme of classic and modern or whether it really doesn't matter if it goes or not. So I would like YOUR opinion.

These are the contenders:
