The dresses were from Urban Outfitters. Going with the eclectic feel, and the fact that I had nine bridesmaids, we broke up the monotony with three different dresses. We went with tights for warmth and flair (Macy’s) and super comfortable heels from DSW. I made a Forever21 run a week before, got jewelry and hair pins I thought would go well with the dresses, and put out a box the morning-of for them to choose from if them wanted.” </p><p align="center"><a href="http://s117.photobucket.com/albums/o78/kissmeimscottish22/Wedding%20Stuff/?action=view&current=DIY-Wedding-22-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o78/kissmeimscottish22/Wedding%20Stuff/DIY-Wedding-22-1.jpg" /></a></p><p align="left">"I took the couple to a wholesale flower shop to buy their flowers. It is incredible how far eight dozen roses and 80 hydrangeas can go when you’re going for a backyard look. The day before the wedding, because the arrangements would have been a little thin, the bride and her best friend ran around the semi-rural neighborhood where the wedding was, cutting wildflowers and naturally-growing plants from the side of the road as fillers. No one knew the amazing arrangements had no florist help and were comprised of half-weeds! One of Sharon’s bridesmaids made her bouquet. She stuck all the flowers together, affixed them with burlap and tied her mom’s wedding ring to the base with twine (it was one of the brides favorite little touches in the wedding)."</p><p align="center"><a href="http://s117.photobucket.com/albums/o78/kissmeimscottish22/Wedding%20Stuff/?action=view&current=DIY-Wedding-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o78/kissmeimscottish22/Wedding%20Stuff/DIY-Wedding-2.jpg" /></a></p><p align="left">"In lou of escort cards- The brides mom’s friend cut little tags from wood strips they bought at Michael’s and painted them with chalkboard paint. They wrote everyone’s names on the tags and then tied them on mason jars with twine, one for each guest that would serve as their drinking glass for the evening. They chose a more humble food route by having Souplantation cater just soup. The Brides mom’s dear friends spent New Years Day watching football and making cornbread to go with the soup. It was very affordable and all of the guests loved having comfort food. They cut prices again by ordering bulk biodegradable bowls, napkins, cutlery, and coffee cups online. Knowing that alcohol would be one of the major expenses of their day, they chose to stick to just wine. They bought enough Charles Shaw for everyone from Trader Joe’s – $2 a bottle."</p><p align="left">The bride and groom asked select friends and family to make desserts that were signature or special to them. People loved being a part of our wedding this way! They labeled each dessert individually. The bride downloaded a font online for all the little signs and printed them on cardstock left over from their handmade invitations. The cake was made by a friend of the bride, simple and elegant, perfect for their special day.<br /><br /></p>Lovely Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08069362746137472483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881738808068007580.post-54870125666171368312010-02-17T16:47:00.000-05:002010-02-17T16:48:46.273-05:00Bird Cage<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBcwPntBBB8AYE4F3klNdsZFe-LVx57ysbsRC1MrKemtegv8iwLkS94OFTQVGnFK4L3rh3qT7-cXZoldI2UL0Bsp3sAkV1RpgZ-raNhkGdnUaoGd0WxHFPMMrjBKcCSvmZPJlUIlqlZL0I/s1600-h/emma_bridals045_WIH.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439332504447419490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBcwPntBBB8AYE4F3klNdsZFe-LVx57ysbsRC1MrKemtegv8iwLkS94OFTQVGnFK4L3rh3qT7-cXZoldI2UL0Bsp3sAkV1RpgZ-raNhkGdnUaoGd0WxHFPMMrjBKcCSvmZPJlUIlqlZL0I/s320/emma_bridals045_WIH.jpg" /></a> As a classic girl, I love this bird cage veil to death!<br /><div></div>Lovely Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08069362746137472483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881738808068007580.post-55491641206199509032010-02-17T16:32:00.001-05:002010-02-17T16:33:55.126-05:00Picket Fence<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-1_aW2odCfcZcoh1gAKsMFtqiqTFNnHKBvT0K48kYm0DZThcsR11H19wEXWYjjs77MKtmT2gIbwvrzoTAsIUu-6eJAlf38XubIQWXgYtz12fEKVl6r2F7NPVwj8gWVSRHJf61R2j0v7CM/s1600-h/Wong_McElroy-Ashley_web_1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439328492516593074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-1_aW2odCfcZcoh1gAKsMFtqiqTFNnHKBvT0K48kYm0DZThcsR11H19wEXWYjjs77MKtmT2gIbwvrzoTAsIUu-6eJAlf38XubIQWXgYtz12fEKVl6r2F7NPVwj8gWVSRHJf61R2j0v7CM/s320/Wong_McElroy-Ashley_web_1.jpg" /></a> I love this picture in front of the white picket fence.
