World Market sells these lanterns that are nice and big- you can fit three candles inside and they are so cute! Here's what I was thinking of:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

I was thinking of placing a few grey river rocks around the lantern with either tulips in a vase like above or a few more candles. I grabbed the rocks from a place down the road to try out the idea of placing rocks around the lantern, here's how it turned out:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1nvFPrDJrJc-TW-kLyzF2B5A40S_3TOplm5saoUji5T4y3EMxXnn0G1ndFXR4RaNG6w91lD5QHbzP-Lm6GKDHEfMyCrmHfYONhxj-cZzwtqdA5MroUXA1itZHt53ougPMq42L7MobY7aq/s1600/lanternwithrocks1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1nvFPrDJrJc-TW-kLyzF2B5A40S_3TOplm5saoUji5T4y3EMxXnn0G1ndFXR4RaNG6w91lD5QHbzP-Lm6GKDHEfMyCrmHfYONhxj-cZzwtqdA5MroUXA1itZHt53ougPMq42L7MobY7aq/s320/lanternwithrocks1.JPG" /></a></div>I like it- of course I'd replace those rocks with smooth ones like these:<br />

And I think I may have found the venue! I took some pictures so you guys can see and so I can show my FH later tonight. But I am so excited. I loved Trinity, the sales rep, and the venue. Here's some pictures:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1PshyphenhypheneUYJQ_juWeK5THlUrojSR2IzAW8iRUxuOla_vElWLLTRFsrPDfFgOQEURHD_yBhFIjGFwgCONCgeRhJ6qZZ0di0aw9Ghvq6QG5uIE-FWD5gWpiwhdyJnSIgjrdnioSPkkZyPdL6Q/s1600/IMG_0935.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1PshyphenhypheneUYJQ_juWeK5THlUrojSR2IzAW8iRUxuOla_vElWLLTRFsrPDfFgOQEURHD_yBhFIjGFwgCONCgeRhJ6qZZ0di0aw9Ghvq6QG5uIE-FWD5gWpiwhdyJnSIgjrdnioSPkkZyPdL6Q/s320/IMG_0935.JPG" /></a></div>This is the ceremony site. Notice the pond in the background...it has duckies. :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOk3Go0-Rzyuf530eGpfs159GbZTQTn6DYPbOP2XrLtK1CkxyLoqlJi9SXHeuzDAOQuBIDda9EwkHPncEgAEyvDFD5RQCwtqWbTKQzgXOjmPMAz37qb2uZiAH7KrbTGzVCLtCcNnwLpk40/s1600/IMG_0933.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOk3Go0-Rzyuf530eGpfs159GbZTQTn6DYPbOP2XrLtK1CkxyLoqlJi9SXHeuzDAOQuBIDda9EwkHPncEgAEyvDFD5RQCwtqWbTKQzgXOjmPMAz37qb2uZiAH7KrbTGzVCLtCcNnwLpk40/s320/IMG_0933.JPG" /></a></div>This is the inside of the reception area. Those gorgeous drapes and chandeliers are there permanently so you save on the decorations. You get to chose from a bunch of colors for the linens with no extra charge and the carpet design isn't that bad either.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm0dkqk6gJJ21tvhhG8zjsfxLzLe9zAGxdjlFhwsw8HLYe30e-E6WhszF6lzJa9eqXeY2le7g8Z0GZXXaW6YM8KG2CZcEePgLdwvYXHn3s2sr9jIODlKGaww5OZjVZ_turNYixAzOQvsMl/s1600/IMG_0940.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm0dkqk6gJJ21tvhhG8zjsfxLzLe9zAGxdjlFhwsw8HLYe30e-E6WhszF6lzJa9eqXeY2le7g8Z0GZXXaW6YM8KG2CZcEePgLdwvYXHn3s2sr9jIODlKGaww5OZjVZ_turNYixAzOQvsMl/s320/IMG_0940.JPG" /></a></div>A close up of the chandelier. I love it!<br />
<br />
So now all I have left to do to finalize this venue, is get my FH there to see it. He's been busy with work and biking up in Tahoe so hopefully later this week I can lure him away. :) Oh and next Tuesday we get to go and try some of the food. Yum!<br />

The best part? She agreed to be my matron on honor! I'm so very happy. Her husband and her both know a ton about planning a wedding, they just got married three years ago themselves, and her hubby is now a wedding DJ so they know about most of the places we're looking at. I love getting all this first hand info! Her hubby recommended one venue that we had already looked at, <a href="http://www.ridgegc.com/">The Ridge, in Auburn</a>. He said that Ruby, the wedding coordinator there, is just the greatest.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.projectwedding.com/vendor/ww_photo/the-ridge-golf-course?o=14"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1iPyxMmfLRTpC4kARborr4ohaeBfVk_E0HvtR1XteXGtAdj_S2EJ7sfuinkiwiQGwKUSl-Cj1gv0wm-F-83Xsmgqz3-QshBwaEXEuYcsAIGwHmrtf1X5Sd-qDH2dMFfHqcL_DOWVA4gLO/s320/ridgegolfclub2.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
He also recommended the <a href="http://www.morgancreekclub.com/">Morgan Creek Golf Club</a> in Roseville. I'll be headed out there this week to check it out. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.sarahmaren.com/tag/morgan-creek-golf-club/"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQQzVp6A2L-qme3NvD8kRLz3QyvqEaAiUchFieG-Ez7y0E9ZUXT0i4Xl7eMWvQGtOsuFk-Yxy9ldRAVmjz5KpEGXbGbAJ2Tj1Q-L8fZI9L8_iRN5K8qwsAnnF-6vDxdvZ9rfcyQ1Cg3WXG/s320/morgancreek.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I feel so much less stressed now that I have my wonderful, talented sister-in-law as my Matron of Honor! We share similar taste and I know she'll take care of me. It was so great to see how excited she was too! <br />
<br />
Now I'm excited to start planning!<br />

I might just have to get these to see the look on my fiance's face when he opens the box. Hehe. Be sure to click on the pics to be sent to the page where you can actually buy them. Have fun searching!<br />

So of course I had to share them with all of you. :) P.S. I got all the photos from<a href="http://www.theknot.com/"> the Knot.</a><br />
<br />
1. I love the idea of honoring all the married or even engaged couples in a unique way at your wedding. I love how this wedding made the pictures into a gorgeous backdrop.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_IX1DHKnt__rCY9XV6qBn1QvdemR8yV-I-vhbThexrkj70CvxIL8ol85vMvpWhTfRI_124oor4HOWAgjSGMI7P-4ub3iTU_GX8CbVioTNE-5cOASuw6qLB_06qQC5p4vSECZEVCp7M7dB/s1600/honorweddings.knot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_IX1DHKnt__rCY9XV6qBn1QvdemR8yV-I-vhbThexrkj70CvxIL8ol85vMvpWhTfRI_124oor4HOWAgjSGMI7P-4ub3iTU_GX8CbVioTNE-5cOASuw6qLB_06qQC5p4vSECZEVCp7M7dB/s320/honorweddings.knot.jpg" /></a></div>2. I love new and unique h'orderve ideas. Not a fan of the classics? Rock some new ideas by serving up you and your fiance's favorite snacks!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY-womKb-B_1MkfLhPNE__zZJeD14vRzueq28pGSFucWqHX0gPg6O8hheMeZR-Bl28IHt6cAI3XgnxsGL8AkMPPacyhqyUtmapRpCAkEcwH3ldvLzCnbv4SmWbF5G5iVAl4MhkqEbUOd4H/s1600/newfavors.knot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY-womKb-B_1MkfLhPNE__zZJeD14vRzueq28pGSFucWqHX0gPg6O8hheMeZR-Bl28IHt6cAI3XgnxsGL8AkMPPacyhqyUtmapRpCAkEcwH3ldvLzCnbv4SmWbF5G5iVAl4MhkqEbUOd4H/s320/newfavors.knot.jpg" /></a></div><br />
3. I also love personalized cakes. You've got personality (and so does your fiance) why not show it off? :)<br />

If you have never heard of the term (but I'm sure you all have) its basically a photo session with you some awesome lingerie (or nothing at all if you prefer) with great makeup, hair, and a professional photographer. Its sexy yet stylish and elegant. Here's a peek:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://lovelyboudoir.com/blog/"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8d8dmE54Cw-yc5HMJe_Dul1e4RIeerMQYwycK0veCH0Yqk0ibGSSYY2GOAmRGa0d0ce-LhC4nMbH0vxhccfCyXz4sOGsbiHy1KiTq0uZNtKWoMiyiYzLpETBYD1EsEs_pt3RUczEPiGJo/s320/boudoir.jpg" /></a></div>There is one photographer, Stacey, who does amazing work with her boudoir photography right here in Sacramneto, and she is holding yet another of her Boudoir Photography Marathons July 16th - 18th. <br />
<br />
If anyone is interested please check out her site <a href="http://www.lovelyboudoir.com/index.html">here</a>. And if any of you have had a boudoir session before, tell me what you think! Was it just a blast?!<br />

These past few weeks my FH and I have seemed to grow even closer. I am going through some grown up stuff with my friends (the possibility of them moving away, new boyfriends, etc.) and he has talked with me through all of it. Not just talked, but really listened and cared. He's held me through my sad times, he's joked and reminisced with me. And I must say...I love it! He has made me feel so cared for and special and important, and I am amazed when people tell me that they can't talk to their partner about things.<br />
<br />
I am really, truly lucky to have met him and that we were such a perfect match together. May I never forget that. :)<br />
<br />
I hope you all are feeling loved and special tonight.<br />

But I recently met with a client whose daughter is getting married in Hawaii and they are doing all their planning via phone. Thank goodness I'm not, I don't think I could handle it! :) But anywho, I just wanted to show you all a few pics that are inspiring me right now...<br />
<br />
For anyone who hasn't heard of these awesome ladies, I am in love with The Wedding Chicks Blog. In fact all these photos below I found on their blog, so be sure to check them out! <br />

Last night I cut the paper, today I got grey stamp ink, and as I went to load the paper into our printer it suddenly hit me...we don't have white ink. Bummer! I already tried the invitations with black ink and here is what it came out like:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicwlVZts19N8CIJRw6Es__JTJsKVnAJzrehbIPM2_WeuJCSNsZ5NbUT1V3ntmrgNiia0D-r0Y915IYdGvcIgJWUAODDJVZe5ni8iK-43lfApvy35Ce9c40BTSce0m-TUtO6rDHpTBJY9Fu/s1600/makinginvitations+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicwlVZts19N8CIJRw6Es__JTJsKVnAJzrehbIPM2_WeuJCSNsZ5NbUT1V3ntmrgNiia0D-r0Y915IYdGvcIgJWUAODDJVZe5ni8iK-43lfApvy35Ce9c40BTSce0m-TUtO6rDHpTBJY9Fu/s320/makinginvitations+007.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(Ignore the smudge marks on the envelope...I dropped a stamp on it. lol)</span></div>So you see, the black doesn't look terrible but I think white text against the green would look much better. But anywho, here's the invitation making process so far:<br />
<br />
Materials Bought:<br />
10 pieces of 12x12 olive green cardstock paper....$6.90 ($.69 each)<br />
1 9" Fiskars bypass trimmer (as seen below)..........$19.99<br />
4 packs of 12 note cards-only for the envelopes.....$4.00 ($1.00 each)<br />
1 fifty count 8x11 white cardstock paper................$3.99<br />
2 stamps on clearance (as seen below)...................$1.98 ($.99 each)<br />
total cost: $36.86<br />
<br />
Why this ended up being a total bargin:<br />
The trimmer I will be using forever more, for things such as gift tags, cards to friends, crafts, etc. The same with the stamps (who doesn't love a cute little owl?). The white pack of cardstock paper I will be using to make my banners, save the dates, stationary. and who knows what else more.<br />
<br />
And finally- my best bargain find- The 4 pack of note cards with envelopes came to a total of $4 which totally beat the plain cardstock note card with envelope pack which was $4.75 for a pack of 10. Tadah! I felt great walking out of there with out spending the $50 I originally thought I was going to have to spend.<br />
<br />
Now for the creation process:<br />
<br />
<b>Step 1</b>: Cut cardstock paper into whatever size you need. (My invitations are 4"x7.5".) <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAAD9iIkupz1C-_-U1BjI-z-iYfvul07qcZR355Hx6-Ww6jbq1VcdbvbSmvaUtp7t1c6n9_7-PnNKp6QaJpEpQjULfn7PZ_13EqcFLsSCfbBxir8QZkVJ93FhCL6-xp4PGxmzkxX1OUIgF/s1600/makinginvitations+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAAD9iIkupz1C-_-U1BjI-z-iYfvul07qcZR355Hx6-Ww6jbq1VcdbvbSmvaUtp7t1c6n9_7-PnNKp6QaJpEpQjULfn7PZ_13EqcFLsSCfbBxir8QZkVJ93FhCL6-xp4PGxmzkxX1OUIgF/s320/makinginvitations+003.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<b>Step 2</b>: Print out whatever text you like onto your cardstock paper. Mine read "It's the little things you do, that truly say "I love you". (cute, huh?) Also print out the text on your small cardstock paper for the insert card (the one you place in the envelope).<br />
<br />
<b>Step 3</b>: Using a glue stick, glue your envelope (back side up) onto your card in the designated area.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWRyfK8JjdZMX4GArF7gZSGJ0jExlAbdmMWcHxc6KY4AnBp1-O_yRddSZEHLMQf-1sBWFZivRM6oMQjq8g9GPjZU7SsY1dSjWtzV3idIpHQlg9o-ipCFIQyMzieZCSY8mOg_bs-Fb6Frto/s1600/makinginvitations+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWRyfK8JjdZMX4GArF7gZSGJ0jExlAbdmMWcHxc6KY4AnBp1-O_yRddSZEHLMQf-1sBWFZivRM6oMQjq8g9GPjZU7SsY1dSjWtzV3idIpHQlg9o-ipCFIQyMzieZCSY8mOg_bs-Fb6Frto/s320/makinginvitations+004.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<b>Step 4</b>: Stamp adorable designs where ever you would like. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg9TGRBmnzGcnUloaxttUolzAVyY-slT3xQEQ6OpYfSFQFf01Nm61YwQB_6Go-KJxE2CRIDSIFEyaKR5utxJrG1_MALkmHnet3Xf2ANe0IvVjwIJh1ViOSFX1P45PkUwBikqTBxoS7ZaWE/s1600/makinginvitations+010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg9TGRBmnzGcnUloaxttUolzAVyY-slT3xQEQ6OpYfSFQFf01Nm61YwQB_6Go-KJxE2CRIDSIFEyaKR5utxJrG1_MALkmHnet3Xf2ANe0IvVjwIJh1ViOSFX1P45PkUwBikqTBxoS7ZaWE/s320/makinginvitations+010.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<br />

<br />
Send me some pics of what you're working on!<br />

So elegant and memorable...<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />

Black and white can be very elegant, either mixed with bright accent colors or just by themselves. Either way I love how classy and formal a black and white wedding looks.<br />

Because of our limited budget plus my semi-specific vision, I have been looking for almost 2 months (officially) and still haven't found anything promising. I did however come up with a very organized and useful chart that I'd like to share. Trust me it helps to have something you can glance at to remind yourself of important details rather than looking up the websites one at a time. So here we go!<br />

<div class="NoSpacing" style="font-family: inherit;">I was trying to get the chart to fit into your view, but I think it may still cut off a few letters. Usually my chart is about 4 venues wide. I currently have about 4 pages of this plus more info to update and venues to add . You can add or change the rows to whatever is important to you. Oh and in case anyone starts to wonder, RB is where most of our family is located and RC is where we're located. </div><div class="NoSpacing" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

I love those postcard invitations</span>- so we're going to make them using olive greed card stock, off-white envelopes pasted on the front, and then a few awesome stamps I found at Michaels' Craft Store. </div><div style="text-align: left;">2. The potted plants are actually going to be mint and thyme. The mint will have a little tag that reads :"Mint to be". While the thyme will have a tag that reads: "Thyme for a wedding". So adorable, plus if we decide to use them as favors we can do that easily.</div><div style="text-align: left;">3. The cup cake towers will rock all of our deserts and snackies. Of course the colors will be an olive green instead of the blue that the picture shows.</div><div style="text-align: left;">4. Martha says that these tissue paper pompoms are easy to make, so hopefully I can throw a bunch together in varying sizes of white tissue paper and we can hang them from the trees.</div><div style="text-align: left;">5. This sign will be made with the same font and paper as the tags in the mint and thyme. And of course it will read "Just Engaged" instead of "Just Married". </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">So this week, my to dos for the E-Party are as follows:</div><div style="text-align: left;">1. Set official party date (We're thinking of May 30th)</div><div style="text-align: left;">2. Finilize my guest list to give to my mom. (She'll be adding some friends of hers and anyone else that she'd like to invite who wouldn't be able to be invited to the wedding)</div><div style="text-align: left;">3. Make invitations</div><div style="text-align: left;">4. Attempt a practice run at those tissue paper pompoms</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Wow, I'll be busy this week!</div><div style="text-align: left;">Forever Dreaming,</div><div style="text-align: left;">Katelyn</div>The Wishful Dreamerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04268901559918863986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530877091196288935.post-56789243613531381042010-04-08T19:59:00.000-07:002010-04-08T19:59:53.358-07:00Love Notes #2<div style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.chroniclebooks.com/index/main,book-info/store,gifts/products_id,4464/title,My-Basic-Needs-Food-Clothing-Shelter-You/"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTfOZx-jEIafehudbcPaCDjIjRd8oRydIuhWxnYRYHd88m0UAHtkXR-zdK9nyjfJ6ssIO2Odv3-C7VRMKvmLBrMzfWKblHfrq7Ee6vaNv8JEmO8gQhtQlyNGjaW7OJUGv9hx1hamRhxiuB/s320/0811843580_large.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(I've never read the book, just liked the title)</span></i> </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I ran across these great quotes today and can't decide if I want to use them for something like invitations or programs, so I thought I'd share some with hopes that they can inspire you as well.</span></div></div><div style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><br />

I found them in the clearance section at Michael's Craft Store. They were originally $9.99 for 40 cards with coordinating envelopes, and I got them 50% off at $4.99 for 40. So, I picked up 160 and only ended up spending $21. I love finding some good sales!<br />
<br />
Take a look:<br />

What couple hasn't, right? Well today I was thinking of encorporating some of ours in our wedding. I already included quotes in our wedding website, but check out these other Love Letter inspiried wedding details: <br />

I love the idea of using these rustic drawers...<br />

But one thing that I am starting to think about - our engagement party! Here's my inspiration at the moment:<br />

Just a great way for our families and friends to meet each other before the big day. Here's some tips I picked up on ehow.com<br />
<ul><li class="FLC"><br />
<div class="text">The bride's father should always make a toast, regardless of the locale or mood of the party.</div></li>
<li class="FLC"><br />
<div class="text">Not everyone who is coming to the wedding needs to be invited to the engagement party.</div></li>
<li class="FLC"><br />
<div class="text">Always splurge on good champagne.</div></li>
<li class="FLC"><br />
<div class="text">Make sure you have the location booked at least a month in advance so you can concentrate on other details of party planning.</div></li>
<li class="FLC"><br />
<div class="text">Never invite someone to the engagement party who is not invited to the wedding. </div></li>
<li class="FLC"><br />
<div class="text">Gifts should not be expected.</div></li>
<li class="FLC"><br />
<div class="text">Always consider the bride and groom in the planning, for it is essentially a party for them.</div><div class="text"></div><div class="text">Have a great Thursday!</div><div class="text">Forever Dreaming,</div><div class="text">Katelyn</div></li>

Not completely all out rustic, but lots of rustic touches. One idea that I fell in love with was the idea of using a piece of tree stump as a cake stand. Infact the idea came from this photo I found in one of my bridal magazines (I can't remember which one, sorry). Here it is:<br />
