Manic Martha Monday

So this is a cute and nice idea for the church programs, Simple flourish motif with the date on it, i picture different shades of gray and yellow cording for the binding.

So this pictures is from a great photographer Victor Sizemore, this is such a nice shot showing my idea of gray dresses with yellow bouquets. In real life i am not into the light silver, since we are in the fall i feel that darker gray is more appropriate. But i hope this gives you an idea of where i am going.

Monday Martha

From:

If you want to truly personalize your after-dinner sweets, try serving cookies in your own likeness. The Victor Trading Co. will create custom cookie cutters using silhouettes of you and your groom (send them drawings to use by tracing the outline of your profile from a photograph). To yield the best results, use the cutters on a firm dough that holds its shape while baking, such as our Cinnamon-Orange Molasses Cookies. Offer the treats with coffee or tea for a high-profile way to end your reception.

Yummy + Cute

I like this idea of how the color palette is combined with the style and design of the cake. I have ben thinking of using the orchids and the branches, though i may want to use the silhouette of birds on the cake to represent Art and Myself... What do you think?

Reception Site?

So here is where we are thinking of having the reception. Sheraton Pasadena. The room is to die for. Art and I are going to check it out in the coming weeks.

And The Winners Are...

So here are the 3 top choices for bridesmaid dresses!

1. The Ethereal Goddess

2. The Princess

3. The Duchess

So we will be trying on each of these styles before we make our final decision.

Monday Martha Day

God i love this ring pillow... I just picture some nice shades of yellow silk dupoini for the flower on a grey wool pillow.

Martha's Comments:

Silk flowers add elegance to a ring pillow. A crisp fabric holds its shape well; we used silk dupion, shantung, and taffeta. For petals, cut straight-sided ovals with scallop shears. For the flowers on the garland, our petals were 8 by 16 inches; for the flowers on the tables, 5 by 12 inches or 6 by 14 inches; for the 6-inch ring pillow and the flower girls' bouquets, 4 by 8 inches.

Saving the best for Last! Thanks Krista

Krista's comments on some of the dresses were so cute i had to post them as is!

1. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the white flowie empire-style dress. It looks so Grecian goddess/red carpet gorgeous. I think that dress has the best chance of looking the most flattering on all body types. You could even have a fan blowing at us while we walk down the aisle to create the "angel effect"...just kidding...maybe. ;)

2. Also like the style of the light blue, double-strapped dress. It emphasizes the good and flows away from the questionable.

3. I do also like the 1089PT one. The square neckline is very pretty, along with the way to bust pulls nicely downwards.

Krista also noted this invitation style:

I really like the Cranes Kate Spade invitation. It is very simple, refined, elegant, yet not stuffy. I'm a big fan!! Very cute!!

DAAAAAAAAAARLING! Diva has arrived at her choices.

Maya my last and only Diva has made her selections:

1. Diva loves this style of dress and notes that it could be used again (i like that note)

2. In a nice jersey knit material this style would be very flattering (I LOVE the pleats!)

3. Diva's utmost favorite dress is this one... which has been chosen a few times...I like the pick-up skirt

Diva loves this color board overall and loved the use of pink in the flowers underwater. I have been toiling with the underwater flower idea and saw this pic and LOVED it.

Kat + Ivy

Kat and Ivy the wonderful mother-daughter duo have taken a look at the gallery and have comment on the following dresses:

1. Kat + Ivy Liked this dress, Ivy liked the 2-tone effect and Kat likes the straps (they are her friends) and the cute little broach (I love shiny broaches)

2. Kat dug this flowy number a third vote for this dress. Love it!

3. Ivy likes this dress and knows it wont be blue in real life.

4. Kat also liked this number too another vote for this style.

5. Ivy's favorite this dress she really likes the pleating on the bottom which is oh so chic; one of the few short styles that i really liked... (we could do this for yours!)

Thanks again for your comments.
