Check out this photographer's engagement pics!  Wow!!!!!  Going to amazing places to shoot them seems like a great idea.

Bridesmaid Dresses

These are just some dresses I found online. I hear that it is hard to find bridesmaid dresses so tell me what you think. keep in mind we have to make them modest. I think I like the second one the best...

These are basically the colors I want...

I love this. I want hanging lit up lantens.

I love love love this

Mormon Weddings Galore!!!

This Seattle based photographer has shot a ton of mormon weddings, but it won't let me download any other pictures to show you so here is her website.  Check out the one with the hanging parasols and also the one w/ pink and orange.

Wow!

I love how they used a lot of foliage (that's right, I said FOLIAGE).

Criss Cross

I kind of love this ring.

Mormon Wedding #3

Okay, maybe if I did it again, I would wear this girl's dress.  Love the details of this one too.  Click here for the pics!

Alki Bathhouse

Have you guys seen the bathhouse on Alki Beach?  It's right on the beach, it costs $250 to rent out.  Click here for details

The food at THIS wedding looked so lip smacking good!!!

Memories

More than anything i'm realizing that a wedding is not about how much people are impressed or remember yours.  It's the little things that YOU will remember.  A sure way to do is this to have things at your wedding that you already love or things that remind you of why you love your sweetheart.  Another idea is to incorporate some item that has been handed down to you (maybe something used at your parents' wedding) or that you will hand down to your daughter.  Richelle and Marie, I just want to tell you how much I love love love you guys, when I think of choice spirits, I think of yours.  I hope that your reception is special and memorable to you but most of all I hope you remember how you feel in the temple when you are sealed for time and all eternity with the one you love most.  Its truly celestial.  

I came across this idea that incorporated this girl's growing up and her maternal influences:

"Our mothers and grandmothers each baked a cake that we grew up eating to collectively make our "wedding cake" - we had my mom's pistachio cake, his mom's rum cake, my grandmother's lemon cake, and his Nani's german chocolate cake. We back-filled with sheet cake from Mim's Bakery in Chico. "

Check out this site for inexpensive cake stands and cloches.

Simple but on sale for $350 used compared to $1000.  Click here

Demitrios dress

If I could do it all again, I would do it with this dress!!!  You'd still need to add a little lining underneath the sleeve but its for sale used for $400.  Click here to see other pics.

Not such a fan of the dress (it laces up in back) but I'm liking the jacket, click here for more pics.

Ooh-la-la

I am completley obsessed with these hairpieces at Twigs & Honey, I pretty much love all of them and if you got all crafty you could make it yourself, check it out.

Oooooooh, CAKE!!!

MARIE!!!

For some reason these colors scream Marie to me.  Maybe with a little baby pink added.  I can just envision it going really well w/ your dark hair and beautiful complexion.

Kitschy, I love this colorful fun palate and that yummy peach pie.  I'm also a big fan of choosing a color and then having the bridesmaids choose their own dress, that way they REALLY will wear it again.  

Oh my goodness

Love:

Lemons

Cakes

Lemonade or /limeade if you want green.

The groom's colorful socks and the boutineer

Richelle- here's that peacock blue again.  I love how classy and elegant it is, also the feminine and masculine w/ the pink.

Dalia boutineer - nuff said!

Summer Picnic

I love the theme- Summer Picnic, something about red and yellow is so happy!  i'm also digging the cherries, does anyone know when cherry season is?

Brown cake

Richelle, how about this brown cake?  Also, I love the boutineers!!!

Peacock Blue

Richelle, is this the color of blue you like?  On the girl's sash on the bottom?

Lemons

Lemons on this cake really make it stand out.

Lakeside

Marie if you did have it at the lake, look at the candles on the dock!!  So cute!  Also, have you thought about having your engagement pics at the lake?

Parasol lights

Posted in behalf of mom:  Parasol lights, click here. or if you just wanted to hang regular parasols click here.

I've been seeing a lot more of this, hanging vintage fabric and taking pics of the wedding party and guests at the reception.

Grow your own grass.  I like the flowers in the empty glass bottle.

Tissue paper pom-poms

These are sooooo easy to make, I'm making them for our upcoming Relief Society birthday party.  Click here for directions and other pics on Martha.  Also check out the grass on the table, they painted Home Depot flower pots and then just grew the grass at home weeks in advance.
