Love Sweet Love ♥



So I am completely in love with the idea of having a "Sweet Bar" at our reception! I think it's a fun little twist to the tradition cake/dessert table... and it will provide some yummy snacks for our guests during the later part of our reception! So here are a few inspiration photos:



So far I just have a few large apothecary jars that I will have filled with either candy or small baked goods... I intend to buy one or two smaller, lidded jars and a pretty cake stand... and maybe even a few smaller sized candy dishes... we'll see how elaborate I'll allow this to get...

FLOWERS



Excuse my place mats.... and everything else in the background :P
Theeeese are the lovely flowers I have picked out so far!
I'm in love ♥
I have to say that I was pretty disappointed in my options for purple flowers... until I found these. BOY am I glad I found them! I had chosen the color purple as my "wedding color" before actually looking at flowers... and once I did start looking at flowers, I found nothing but ugly. These are super fun and pretty though! I'm excited to design the reception tables around them :)

Pretty Pretties!



So I have ordered the hair accessories for my maid of honor, Sarah, Penelope, my sisters (who will be my usherettes) and myself! They will be similar to the ones pictured above, but in a pretty purple color. I have ordered two of the large rosettes (one on a clip, one on a head band) and two of the smaller rosettes (one on a clip and one on a head band)... which ever one works best for Penelope's hair will go to her and the other three will go to Sarah and my sisters... then I also had one of the large rosettes made in white on a clip for my own hair :)

Wedding Shoes :) :) :)


Feast your eyes, man! I am so so so excited about these beauties! This wonderful woman I met on Etsy.com is going to be custom making me a pair of the above sandals for the wedding! The only difference will be the gem on the toe plug, mine will have an ivory disk with a few rhinestones and stuff in them. GORGEOUS!

Wedding Location!

Say Hello to the gorgeous South Shore Park Pavilion! This is where we will be having our wedding and reception!


Front


This is behind the building, where we will (hopefully) be having our ceremony. The stone sculpture is the altar, we would be standing right between the two taller stones. GORGEOUS view of the lake, marina and city :)


This is the smaller of the main two rooms inside. This is how we would set up for the ceremony if it was too cold to have it outside. You can see the bar in this photo also.
If the ceremony is outside, this room will serve as the "mingling" room for the guests to hang out in after the ceremony for drinks and such.


This is the same room as the picture above, just the other side of it. The doors to the left lead into the large, main hall and the doors to the right lead into the entry way. This is how we would have the room set up for the "mingling" room.


And this is the main hall! Windows go all the way down the back wall and look out onto the water! Beautiful! This is obviously be where we would have the reception. Will most likely not have as many tables as pictured, there is plenty of space for a nice dance floor - this picture doesn't even show the whole room!

Ideas for Color Combinations


So I think this is actually one of the harder decisions to make overall - what color combination to choose?! It's hard to make many other decisions before choosing the colors...
Alan and I both know that we would like some shade of green paired with something else... here are my three favorite options that I think would go well with a Spring wedding:


Aqua, or Tiffany Blue


Purple


...and pink!
