Flowers

So I finished my bouqet and I love how it came out!!

Here was my inspiration from Angels Accent. I would have loved to order from them, however they are not taking any orders prior to Feb. 2009:( I only want white and green flowers so I changes the variety of orchid and did not want the lilly's.

Here is what I ended with and I love it!

I ended up using cabbage rose, orchids, peony, and hydrangeas.

The bridesmaids will be Just orchids and peony's. The flower girls will have pomades made of Hydrangeas, cabbage rose, and orchids. I will post pic's once they are done:)

Anchorage Reception

We are going for a Mexican Fiesta...Bright colors, fun, and laid back!The cocktail hour will include chips, salsa, dips, margaritas, sangria, and tequila sunrise.

We will enter with a mariachi band and they will play through dinner. Dinner will be a taco/burrito bar and then the full bar will open.

After dinner we will have our first dance to a romanic marichi song. The the DJ will get the party started:)

This is the cake we are having but we will add bright colored flowers to it like the second picture...

Wow...where did the time go??

This summer has been super busy! I have found that I suck at blogging. However I am going to try harder!

This summer FI and I have painted two houses for extra wedding money. At first I thought what the heck do I want to paint a house for afte rmy regular job...But after painting the first in two nights and one day and getting the $3000.00 paycheck...all was well in my book. Since I now look at money in terms of what it can cover for the wedding that was a nice chunk. It also came right in time to put all of our deposits down. What can I say through all my complaining it was worth it!

We have only made it camping twice. Which is very sad considering we live in Alaska and do not have much time to enjoy warm weather:( But our last camping trip was our annual dip netting trip and we caught over 100 fish one day. Whew but the aftermath of cleaning, cutting, smoking, and canning...I can not fully explain unless you have ever tried to process 100 fish:( not fun! BUt it will be worth it over the next year considering the cost of Alaskan salmon.

Anchorage seating chart...well at least the layout

Odd layout I know...but I am odd so it fits:)

THE dress

Must imagine dress with tan skin! The wedding will be in Mexico so I should have a good tan going on instead of the pasty white color.

Here it is with my hair trail

And some other hair trial photos:

(I think the poof will have to be a little less the day of)

Mood board for Mexico
