My Old Fashioned Wedding

Our Wedding:

Date: Not yet set!
Location:
Church - Small and old. If I could get married in the little Catholic Catherdal in Antwerp, Belgium, that's where we'd be wed. None of these huge monstrosities that look like stucco office buildings.
Reception Venue - Somewhere light and elegantly casual, preferably in a well groomed, French Renassaince style garden, Somewhere outside Houston, TX
Ideals: A Fall wedding, with the reception being during sunset. (But with Abel & a lot of his friends and family in the Navy, who knows when we'll be 'permitted' to have it, hehe)
Guests: Close friends and family, hoping my family from Scotland and his distant family in Mexico and those in the US Navy may join us on our special day!
Theme: Casual elegance with a 'nod' to old English inspired Colonial America during the late 1800's. I plan on a lot of fun, DIY projects being included.
Dining: No "Chicken or Fish?" queries here. I plan on doing something trendy and different, with a less "These are our caterer's..." feel, and more of a "Look at what we cooked for you!" feel.
Bridesmaid Attire: My bridesmaids will not be clones. I will choose a single color, or possibly 2 colors, and then each of my bridesmaids will be able to choose a dress that fits them and their own personal style, as long as I approve it to be the right shade.

Nosegate

I'm feeling the autumn colors in this nosegate bouquet. I like the natural feel of it.

Romance & Candlelight

Nothing says romance like candlelight, which is beautifully exemplified in this table centerpiece.

Glamour Gown

I love the glamorous, yet ultra feminine style of this romantic looking dress! It's probably the only way I would wear a strapless dress...

An Eiffel Tower For The Boys

I love this Eiffel Tower Groom's Cake! (And the tower is made out of white chocolate, my favorite!!) And it was made in Houston!!

Sweet Drinks

A beautiful-and refreshing-way to play upon your wedding palette is with a color-coordinated signature cocktail. One of our favorites is the bright, bubbly Pomegranate Champagne Cocktail, perfect for receptions that feature red in their color scheme. A simple blend of pomegranate juice, champagne and turbinado sugar (check out Southern Living's recipe at MyRecipes), this romantic refreshment can be served with a rock-candy stirrer for sweet, special-occasion touch.

These sugar rock candy stirrers are such a cute idea!
