A Wrinkle in Time

Give it a couple of years and guaranteed my wall decorations will be full of family photos. Starting with our wedding. I hope to set them in nice frames and maybe be a bit creative with the order I put them as. I like the initials in the middle of the frame or at the beginning. S would be fantastic; I may even use the guest S that everyone signs at our wedding. The S will be a soft green color with pink pen. It would be a nice idea we could possibly try. Below are some photos of decoration ideas that I would like to have.

Internet exploring extravaganza!

Ok so I have been on the search for weddings and vintage. Vintage is my theme and wedding is what I'm doing! I found this website for which I have seen some of the photos from pinterest: http://greenweddingshoes.com/real-wedding-catie-bens-vintage-inspired-backyard-wedding/

Everything about her wedding was beautiful. Her photos, her details, her decorations, she has brilliantly made her wedding shine with a 1940s vintage theme. Classy!

Decoration and guest photos.

One of my new favorite ideas for the guest. Is to take photos of themselves using the new photobooth idea that is making a big move around the world. Also if you must have your decoration in photos here are a little of my ideas. Just remember only one or two good ones of your decorations and you will be more pleased.

A little bit of photography Ideas I like

Sorry for the photos. I did use my iPhone to take the pictures.

Photography Counts

Photos are very important for your wedding. Now a days people are starting to do photos before their wedding. My fiancé and I plan on it. We hope to have only a few good photos that will hang on the wall instead of being stacked in the attic. I want to be able to see my photos and show my family and guest who come to visit. Photos count! For those of you who are brides the photos that count the most are the few good couple and bridal party photos. You don't want to have many of your guests or of your decorations they do not matter as much as you and your husband to be. Be creative and have fun. DIYs are always the best and themes, are fun. My theme is vintage with a bit of rustic flair. Do what is you and make the most of your big day!

Pinterest! I recommend it!

iPhones and photos

If you wonder why some of my photos look like a website in a photo.. It is. It is like that because I use my iPhone to take photos from google. I love it, it is a much easier way to upload photos to my blogs rather then searching and searching for what I would like to show you. I am also a fan of iPhone photography and will upload soon some of my photos.

Jars! Jars! Jars!

I am almost obsessed with using jars for decorations. I love the classic vibe they bring to the atmosphere. You can use them for almost anything. I am using them for my wedding for several things such as: water bottle, vase for wild flowers, and to use as candle holders. They look amazing as lanterns. One o my favorites is hanging them in trees. Looks very pretty. They are also used for holding photos which is another creative idea for your home decor as well.

My Collage

I probably shouldn't be showing this but for those of you who do follow me via Facebook and check out my blog here is my collage or a little taste of how I plan my wedding.

Bridesmaids!

Oh me! Oh my! Bridesmaids, are super picky about what they wear, I now understand why my sisters have both chose the traditional way of doing things having all the same dresses. However, myself I wanted a little something creative and different...at first we were looking for shades of blue, well living in New Zealand gives us limited supplies. What did we decide to do? A Mix-and-Match, we are hoping to have something of the same style, but with different colors a little something like the pic you see above will suffice. Wish us well, we hope it works! Here is an example
Of two of my bridesmaids, one dress is lemon while the other is navy and we have black lace ribbon to tie around it. So for the third dress we are assuming a dusty pink or another navy blue dress. (as shown in photo). We hope we will find one more soon that would suit the third bridesmaid. She is somewhat tall and she suits textured style. I have a few more ideas that will hopefully win her over. I want her to say yes to her dress so she can have it something she likes. Any open opinions I will be glad to here of them.

Here is the coaster site for the party favors. I apologize it was not pink ribbon. What they had done was much better, they had used twin and a favor tag with the words, "thank you" to all their guest. I know it is a home project that I will create; I only need the saw, tung oil and rag to accomplish this. You shouldn't need a big saw and it may take a bit of work. No worries and not a problem. :)

They are also known as a wedding website again for those of you who are interested in weddings this is another site to go check out.

Want a diy project? check out Just a Girl. She is amazing! One of her crafty ideas is homemade wooden coasters. I have also seen another site where a couple made handmade coasters as a party favor for their wedding guest. They tied four together with soft pink ribbon. It was absolutely clever for those of you who have no money and would like to give your guests a gift.

Fear No Fear

"To live in fear, is not living at all"

"Do not be afraid,for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of opperession, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior."

Keeps getting better

I've come to find that my life just got twisted and turned upside down. I went from being dead on the inside to being alive. I used to feel alone, but hope came for me. A few months ago I came to know a man named Scott. During that time I was in the process of my heart healing. I kept getting stronger; in a moment I felt happy, I could feel again. Later in the months we came to know each other, he made a proposal. My life felt more complete to the puzzle then I ever knew. My adventure is only beginning. I have a belief that my Lord and savior keeps surprising me and never lets me down. I am moving to New Zealand in a week, which, is a very long way from home in the states. Moving is a new step forward in My life, it is exciting, and a joy to keep moving forward. Soon I will be meeting new family and friends, exploring like I never have before, getting a career, and raising children of my own. I have no doubt that I will be missed and I will miss others. I have been truly blessed. I thank God for giving me eyes to see and will to understand things better. Thank you.

One of my Favorite Videos

This video is a view of the Roaring 1920's Jazz Age. One of my favorite decades. It was a time for change in the young society. In with the new and out with the old. Young woman were known as partiers as well as being classy. They loved style and music and many woman were becoming noticed into high society during this age of time.
