Haha, I'll be on that Friendship boat w/you, Sodashop!

I got the jacket done last week and finally tried on the ensemble today. It's a silk velvet with mint green taffeta lining. I just hope it won't be too cold of a December!

Now that I won't be clothing-less at our ceremony, I suppose I should go make sure Evan at least has trousers....

 

[Sarah <3 Disney]

Beautiful! You are so talented!

And yes, pants are good!

 

[Chilly]

Looks gorgeous.

In our pre-reception area we're planning on 4 high boy tables with silver bengaline tablecloths. I really wanted something "night club" for the tables, but I couldn't find any lamps that I liked and the other tables have tons of votives on them, so that was out. I happened across these looking up "1930" on etsy and they're just perfect! I have a few more on order so I have a couple back ups for breaks and a mixture of shapes and colors. They're just glass insulators that they used to use on top of power lines. Cheap and plentiful in all sorts of styles and colors- and the little fake candle votives fit perfectly!! One less thing I have to make. Now onto finishing the beading on that silver lame gown.....

Oh! And we finally got orders from the Navy this week, so we know Evan has almost all of December off!!! I'll actually have a groom! We don't know the exact date he reports to his ship, but it won't be until after New Years!

This weekend is apparently "frantically finish all lists possible" weekend. So, I ordered 6 vintage umbrellas to rent for the ceremony. I was only planning on five, but you get an extra fee if you're under $100 and I was at $90. Hmm, $40 fee or $10 umbrella?? I'm really excited about these! Just perfect for Boardwalk shots. I'm getting them from Bella Umbrella- mailed down to the hotel (thankfully a bit early just in case of holiday backup) and I just need to find a UPS store after....

the umbrellas are too cute and will go with your theme perfectly! I think they will look great on the BW!

 

[Chilly]

They'll look fab in the photos.

Next DIY done! This was by far the easiest of the projects. I made a fur muff for each of the bridesmaids, rather than have them carry a bouquet. We'll pin a small spray of orchids on the front for the ceremony. They're just so cute, I'm thinking I'm going to make myself one later as well!

Just stopped by your PJ, everything looks amazing so far. The invitations look fantastic, did you print them yourself after designing them? The dress is jawdropping! I'm a huge fan of the vintage styled theme and am trying to incorporate small elements into my wedding...you've been doing an amazing job!

Congrats Nicole! I just saw a preview of your pics on the Roots blog and you look awesome! Can't wait to hear all about it!

 

[ColeV]

Thank you everyone!! I finally made it back tonight (missed the connecting flight and had to wait 5 hours....). Everything was amazing and I can't wait to start a trip report! The Roots have a few preview shots up here and hopefully I'll get back on here tomorrow to talk all about it after some much needed sleep!

 

[ColeV]

TR started!
