Center Pieces

So this is always a hit or miss or cheap or expensive item... you can go plain Jane and do votive's with some confetti or go crazy and do beautiful vases filled to the max with fresh flowers adorned with diamonds etc... well for me neither of those where an option. I wanted something that screamed simply but sophisticated. and also being budget friendly. Luckily i have some great co-workers and was able to get all the mason jars i needed for the center pieces for FREE!  the only items i had to buy were the flowers and burlap ribbon and tea lights. bringing my tally for center pieces a whole $40 for 17 tables.  opted to use the fake flowers because the fit into my rustic theme and are very inexpensive and look so life like.They are not quite finished but i thought i would give you a sneak peak!

The Dress

So i must tell you all i am by no means a girly girl.... i hate dresses and never thought i would find one that fit in to my budget that i actually liked......well i did. its simple and elegant and not to frilly and prissy!
Best part was that it was under budget! My Budget was 500 walked out at 419 and its brand new! I really see nooooo reason in spending thousands of dollars for a dress that you wear once and cant even get 1/2 back when you try to sell it. Yes it is your wedding dress and you want to remember that day.. but no need to remember it but the bills you get 3 months after!
