And it was backwards and none of the vaunted government bureaucrats had noticed, no other bidder had noticed. ,

Ameleah, I absolutely fell in love with your wedding! I’ve stumbled upon some moss monograms during my search, but the ones you’re created are by far the best. Can you please share how created these great pieces? Thanks in advance and happy wishes for your first anniversary!

Tina, I’m not sure if anyone responded to you yet about the rose petals, but all you have to do is buy a ton of roses from costco or somewhere cheap and have a friend take the petals off the day/night before. Store them in a large plastic garbage bag and mist them with a water to keep them fresh. Keep them in a cool place. I did this for my wedding. I worked great! Actually, my florist sold the roses to me and we did all the depetaling ourselves to save money. So you could do that as well. Good Luck!

I have spent countless hours looking at how I could order door initials like you have here. Coulod you let me know either how to make them OR where to order them…or would you make them?

So beautiful. We have a similar budget for our wedding and I’m hoping my DIY touches will turn out as nicely as yours. How many guests did you have?

Ameleah, thank you so much for the information on shopbriarpatch. This will be much more reasonable for my, I kid you not, 5 flower girls!

What a fabulous wedding! I am planning a wedding for the summer and have been searching for suits for the guys very similar to what the men wore at your wedding. . any advice on where I could find similar suits?

How much did you spend on flowers when everything was said and done?

Beatrice – yes, it was a lot of work, but so worth it to me. We never could have afforded to pay a florist to do everything.
Elizabeth – I ordered the flower girl dresses from http://www.shopbriarpatch.com, although, I don’t know if they are still available. I ordered the brown sashes separately from jcrew.
Annette – Everyone pitched in to help with setting things up. I arranged all the centerpieces and other accent bouquets on the Thursday before the wedding. I decorated the arch on Friday and kept the entire thing in the garage at our ceremony site, then my fiancé and his groomsmen set up the ceremony area the morning of the wedding. My bridesmaids took care of the finishing touches like setting up the unity candles, setting out the programs, attaching the bouquets to the chairs along the aisle and scattering the petals down the aisle before the guests arrived. We had access to our reception location all day, so my family and my bridesmaids set up the decor there early on the morning of the wedding. My husband’s family took care of setting up the rest of the ceremony like our refreshment table and our guestbook table. Of course I also had everything planned out to the last detail ahead of time and provided very specific instructions! Looking back, I wish I would have hired a day-of coordinator, but everyone was really great about me putting them to work.

Ameleah, this is gorgeous. I have a question though, who arranged and set-up all the flowers for you?
