The Shoooooooz

    The details, I tried to keep simple, but unique and true to myself and vision.  All of my flowers were hand made from bits of coffee filters, wallpaper paste and formed in plastic easter eggs or halved plastic grapes.  I know who woulda thunk?!  But leave it to the creatives I have in my family to think this up.  I have to give my Godmother, Mary Euch, May, Carrie Ann (all her special names) the credit for this genius idea.  Like many things between us it started with a link and of course graduated to these flowers.  She is a MACHINE! She really ripped, glued, formed, and patiently waited for them to dry for months!  She made all the mini flowers for the guests gifts and also the vases filled with the bigger flowers.  I must say I LOVE HER, and THANK YOU for always always keeping me so near and dear to you.  It means soooo very much!  She and a group of her fabulous friends from New Jersey, (Patty, Polly and friends from New Mexico all kept the ideas and excitement going and helped out alot)  Thank you Ladies! Carrie also made pearls necklaces and earrings for all the ladies in my wedding party,both my mothers and grandmothers  and I.  What would I do without her?  She is an amazing woman.  I made garlands out of tea stained coffee filters and book pages, we had tons of tea lights, and everything was white and ivory.  Simple, clean, and crisp, just the way I envisioned it.  Now my aunt Mimi carried on a tradition in my family by making 100 rice roses for guests to throw after the ceremony! They were beautiful and I still have a few so that makes me even more happy!  Thank you Mimi that was a truly special surprise, love you!

Candy Baskets

   The candy basket was an idea by my aunt Carrie and she had a friend design the wrappers.. so cool:)
  My dress was the second one I tried on, but I knew it was the one.  You really do know when you put it on, trust me you just know.  It was an Oleg Cassini dress, it was so comfortable and light!  I made the right choice.  My shoes were from Lord and Taylor and I took them off and walked around barefoot, because lets face it, thats what i do! Okay break time for me I need to give my fingers a rest.. I'll post more pics later :)
