Music Therapy- GRIZZLY BEAR - On a neck, on a spit (FD Acoustic session)

Wedding To Do List

I thought if I put my to do list on here, I might get some suggestions and idea from YOU! Also, it might motivate me to get a move on actually doing all of these projects!

Let me know what you think :)

-Invitations!! My stepmomma is helping me with these which takes a big load off!

I love the organic look of this one.

Since we are both Djs....this would be perfect.

-Flowers

-Bridal Bouquet

-Bridesmaid's silk flower and feather bouquets (DIY)

-Groomsmen boutonnieres (DIY)

-Centerpieces (we're having a cocktail reception, kind of like a casual buffet, so we only need a couple)

-Lanterns for dancefloor (DIY) paper circle and stars to catch the light

-Wedding Arch decorations. On the rooftop we're we are having the ceremony, there is an archway we'll say our vows underneath. I want to add something too it..... maybe kind of like beaded curtains with crystals to catch the light...? Or toule?

This is the roof top arch

The View of Victoria's inner harbour.

Inside the Penthouse suite where the ceremony will be. We also get to have it for the bridal party to get ready in, and for Josh and My wedding night!

Swans Hotel where the wedding will be. You can see the arch on the roof!

Inside the Penthouse

Where the reception will be in the Marquee room in the basement of the hotel! We'll put the lanterns over the dance floor

-Flower girls' flower crowns. We're not able to throw pedals at our location, so I wanted to decorated them in flowers and have them blow bubbles as they lead the processional.

-Guest Book.... I'd like to do something original, that's not like the average guest book.


Typewrite Guest book!

Photo guest book everyone can sign

Scrapbook style guest book

Finger print guest book. So cute! I like this one the best!

Guest book box

That's all I can think of for now....

It's so exciting!!! :D

Project: Wedding. - The Bridal Bouquet

As you may know, I am in the process of planning my wedding (only 4 to go months tomorrow!). My next task on my Wedding To Do List is flowers. I'm going to have real flowers for my bouquet, and DIY silk and feather bouquets for my bridesmaids. My colours are champagne gold and iris purple (bridesmaids in gold, flower girls in purple). Here are some purple flower ideas I like:

I LOVE lavender, so this is a definite maybe :)

Fill in the Blanks Friday

Josh and I..... DJ Lovin'

1. What I love most about my home is how it's evolved over the years of living with my man. We've really put a lot of time and effort into our home, and it feels so welcoming :) .

2. I'm excited because, I am not really working this weekend and it's Friday! I only volunteer for a couple hours and have a meeting about my wedding cake. The rest can either be extreme fun or extreme relaxing; whichever I choose!....extreme .

3. My preferred method for blowing off steam when I'm frustrated is yoga, a really fast bike ride, kitchen dance party, herbal refreshments, and DJing REALLY loudly .

4. Currently I am craving sleep. I DJ'd until 2:30am, then had to wake up 3 hours later to go to work a 10 hour day with twin 3 year old boys. I'm beyond tired to a point of hallucination .

5. The thing I love most about my mom is she's always there for me when I need her emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and financially if I need it (which I hate doing, but sometime I have no other choice). She is very glamorous and has great style. We bond over our love of fashion, elegance, and the finer things in life. She also has a wicked wine cellar to I love to raid when home. Love you Mommaface x .

6. If I was going to write a book about my life, the title would be " The Pursuit of Happy Ness".

7. If I were to eat one thing for the rest of eternity it would be 3 things; cheese, hummus and Real Fruit Popsicles. And Spinach. I could never choose one.... it would ruin it for me .
