"Blow Some Good Wishes to the Mr. and Mrs."- Wedding Bubbles

Another wedding project can be crossed off my list. Adam and I have finished the wedding bubbles! I have wanted bubbles at my wedding for as long as I can remember, so I started saving 40% coupons for Joann’s until all my bubbles were purchased.  Adam designed the logo with the saying "Blow some good wishes to the Mr. and Mrs." he likes doing that kind of thing so I tell him how I want it to look and he goes to town. It ended up matching our theme/colors very nicely.

First, I got all of our supplies ready.

Then, I looped each piece of ribbon through the hole in our logo/saying.

Then came the tedious task of tying all the bows onto the bubble tubes. Here is the finished product!

I also made the bin for the bubbles, but that will be a post for another day!

Happy Wednesday!

Love, Melanie

Save The Dates

We sent our Save The Dates out a few weeks ago. Jordanne Marie Photographers designed them, and they turned out amazing! Once I received them, I couldn't stop looking at them! They were beautiful and I couldn't wait to get them in the mail.

A basic Save the Date was included with our photography package, but I had always wanted to have magnetic Save the Dates. Simple fix... I purchased some Magnetic Tacky Dots at Michael's...with a 40% off coupon, of course. These were extremely easy to work with, just peeling off the paper to expose the sticky part, and sticking them onto the back of the Save the Dates.

Next came the envelopes. I thought it would be cute to put fingerprint hearts on each envelope, so I bought an ink pad and put Adam to work. We both contributed a fingerprint to each heart for personalization.

I love the way they all turned out, and was a very proud bride when we put them in the mail to send to our guests. I guess I'm just nerdy like that :P

Love, Melanie

Wedding Ramblings

As of last night, I have been engaged for exactly 52 weeks. In the past 52 weeks, I have spent hours upon hours surfing the web for fun wedding ideas. I have decided to take on a lot of wedding projects myself, to save money and to make the day a little more personal. My Fiance, Adam has been extremely supportive and helpful with everything, and I couldn't be more thankful. I haven't even heard him complain once, which makes me realize even more how lucky I am to spend the rest of my life with him.We have already completed so much, but we have a   L O N G  way to go. The wedding is August 24, which gives us just under six months to finish everything. I can't wait to see how everything turns out, and share with you all on here.

These are the things we have made/will be making ourselves:
Wedding Vow Canvas- for one of the entryway tables
Adding Magnets and Fingerprint Hearts to our Save The Dates (designed by Jordanne Marie Photographers)
Wedding Programs and box to put them in
Bubbles and boxes to put them in
Card Box
Favors
Vases- for half the centerpieces
The Letter M- for one of the entryway tables
Table Numbers
Place Cards
Menu- maybe
I Spy Game- maybe
Bride Hanger
Girls Jewelry

Keep checking back to see my progress. Hopefully we can get it all done in time for the big day!

Love, Melanie
