More Chartreuse and Burgundy

I'm happy to find another wedding with my colours. Great to get some inspiration and to know it 'can' look good. There are actually not many photos of the colours on the website (see:http://www.soireecharleston.com/soiree.htm) but thats ok too! Just one or two makes me happy

Inspiration board

Stylemepretty.com had an inspiration board contest a while ago. I thought I would submit something, and, although I did not win, It was nice to put together some ideas for the wedding. Here is what I submitted:

Cake + Decorating = Awesome

Decor 8 has a beautiful blog entry about cakes and decorating. This one fits my wedding colours almost perfectly. It just needs a splash of green!

My engagement ring

Here is the ring Renato gave me last weekend. He gave it to me in Fish Creek Park, on a little footbridge like how I preposed to him. It was made by my best friend Tamara (see links) who is also a talented jewler. She made it to look like a wishbone and set a small moonstone on it. I love its uniqueness and personality.

I am now going to incorporate moonstones into my headpiece, I think they will go great with little garnets!

Where to have a Wedding Now?

I am now completemy tired of calling the Glenora Distillary. I have been trying to get a hold of them for months and... the same reply 'Well call you back" Well you didn't and I'm pissed. I know the wedding may be over a year away, but the point of having a long engagement is getting everything done EARLY.

Vent is over

Ren and I are going to conser alternate places. I have a few in mind, but we are sad because the Distillary was very meaningful for both of us, and thus perfect. There are, however, many more meaningful places for us to get married. One is Peggy's Cove, as we one year spent a christmas house-setting a beautiful B&B. I am going to try to get a hold of them and ask if I can rent the whole place out maybe for a weekend (a very expensive option, unfortunately). There is also a little school house in Peggy's Cove that can be rented for events as well. The problem with this place is that is VERY small, and may not accomodate all we wish to invite. There are lots of beautiful spots all over Nova Scotia that we must consider. So now I must hunt the perfect place down!

And... the wedding may be moved to the summer of 2008, Good thing my colours are summer-y and Fall-y!

Disposable Wedding Dresses

You know you're never going to wear it again, so why not have it made of...

...Toilet Paper!



I must say, some of these are much better looking than some gowns I've seen online

Colours

Today I found this amazing Colour Lab online, and in it I found the colours I would *love* to have as my wedding colours. I think they are fantastic. What do you think?
*please note, Renato has not seen this yet, so it may change

Speaking of colours. I definitely know the wedding will not be between or around the 5th to 13th of October because this is when the Celtic Colours Festival is going on in CB, and at that time apparently you cannot geet accomodations anywhere. So I'm now thinking in Late August or September. We shall see...
