That looks fab! You did a great job! It will look great with the orange flowers too!

love it!

I LOVE the unity candle!! It's looks wonderful!! We weren't going to do a unity candle but after seeing yours, I'm considering it now

Danielle, that unity candle holder is gorgeous!!! You did a great job! I can't wait to see your next project!!

Love, love, love your unity candle!! My dh is sitting next to me on the couch and saw it over my shoulder, and he said, "WOW! That's obviously custom and probably cost a pretty penny!"

Thanks so much, everyone!

Oh, and Pixie, that comment from your DH made me legit LOL
I started to think how much this project really set me back...grand total for the candle holder, taper holders, candles, glue, ribbon, spray paint and crystals was $60! Not too bad!

So, yesterday marked 9 months!
I can't believe that they just keep rolling by!

So, I ordered a dress for my engagement photos at the Grand Floridian! It matches the accessories I was wanting to use and it has a "hidden mickey" on it.

Now, I just have to find a more casual outfit to wear at the Wilderness Lodge...but I'm sure that will be easier.

I also ordered a set of the earrings, necklace and bracelet I think I am going to give the bridesmaids as their present...just gotta see how they look in person.

That's about it for now, I haven't really done too much wedding related stuff this week. I'm really just in a bit of a funk. I think it's the weather. Goodnight, all!

So, my Valentine's Day present this year was a trip and dinner date to Ikea!!! (We promised no big gift exchanges to help save money) So this was a cute and perfect little outing for us.

Chris and I walked through the maze of amazing furniture and home accessories while making a small list of potential things we would like to buy. We got towards the end and decided to eat our dinner before we started to fill our cart. Of course, you can't go to Ikea without eating the Swedish meatballs!!!

They were so good! I am craving some right now.

After that, we went downstairs and I found some items that I could use for the wedding!!! I got all these candles and the glass holders (and actually more that aren't in the picture) for under $10!

I thought the orange tealights were a nice alternative to just regular white ones. So there will be 3 or 4 (however many open flames you are allowed to have at each table...) placed at our reception tables. And I think the part I am most excited about is how compact they become when stored!

We're getting really worried with all the items we have to ship / take with us on the plane...so the fact that they fit back in the tube packaging with the candles in them makes me so happy!

On another wedding note, I think I've decided I want to wear a feather in my hair...

Hope everyone else had a great Valentine's Day!

Ikea! Which one did you go to?? I have been driving around a bookcase for 2 weeks now that I have to return to our Plymouth Meeting store (only 20 mins from my house)! Love their food court for a quick bite. Salmon & Veggie dishes are usually very good....and cheap! Ah and their storage stuff....LOVE Ikea!!)

I live in Plymouth Meeting! You must be right by me!

And Danielle, I love the tealights you were able to find. Orange is my favorite color and those are so pretty

This time I went to the Ikea in Stoughton, MA, but when I am home I go to the one in Pittsburgh, PA. Sadly, it takes over an hour to get to each of them. I wish I was closer! Ikea.

And thanks!

Okay, and I just read through all of your PJ and I love your ideas! The Unity Candle is gorgeous. It seems like we have a bit in common... I'm also 22, I have bridesmaids all over the place, getting married in fall 2011 I'm looking forward to hearing more about your plans!

 

[Mindyjoy]

Um, okay, I guess I'm going to have to go to Ikea!! I need some of those orange candles ... I wonder if they have pink, too.

Thanks for catching up and for the compliments! We do have a bit in common...(isn't it a pain having bridesmaids all over the place?! Uggh..)

Mindy! They did have pink! They had a set of pinks, oranges, greens, browns and wines.

I just caved and bought this feather fascinator from Etsy

I wanted something smaller and simpler for the reception when I don't have my veil on.

I love that! Who's the seller????

Yes! My MOH is actually in Pittsburgh (6 hours from me), and one of my bridesmaids is actually living in France right now!

And by the way, that feather is gorgeous. I love how it's kind of subtle but still beautiful.
