Activity for Mika

Ok, I HAD been planning on getting my flowers from Hobby Lobby and making each bouquet, but looking around maybe it's cheaper to get pre-made bouquets from a place that specializes in silk wedding flowers. I LOVE the real touch lilies, so does anyone...

FH hates getting his picture taken, and if he does get snapped, he's making some silly face or being too goofy. He HATES the idea of engagement pictures, but gosh darn it, I'm a scrapbooker and we're getting them FREE. (Hooray for a cousin who is a...

Well, the reviews for House of Brides are certainly far from glowing, but their prices put an unobtainable dress within my budget. What I need to know is, are these dresses knockoffs, or are they the actual dress from the actual designers? The...

And what are your ceremony and reception venues? We're looking, and there doesn't seem to be much choice!

OK, so FH is completely convinced that he wants him and his groomsmen to wear kilts, to celebrate his Scottish heritage. His clan's tartan would match everything PERFECTLY, but isn't available as a rental and costs 298 dollars a yard plus labor to...

I love the idea of boudoir pics, and I think my honey would like them too, but they always advertise with little skinny models, and I don't really know how the look with bigger women. I carry all of my weight in my stomach, and I know that most of...

Neither of us really like unity candles or pouring sand, but I'm sure there are tons of other rituals that people do, right? What awesome thing are you doing during the ceremony?

I'm a VERY frequent goodwill/salvation army/dav/whatever thrift store shopper. I've found amazing things at thrift stores, most of our house has been furnished that way. When I go in, most of these places have at least one or two wedding dresses...

I absolutely ADORE some save the dates that I found using lace handkerchiefs, and as I 'm a cry-er along with my mom and his mom, I'd love to have handkerchiefs available, or even to diy some special ones for mothers, grandmothers, and so on. I've...

Words cannot describe how much I hate this song, and it seems to be the go-to song for bouquet tossing. What are you using for that moment?

Ok, I'm doing my own invitations, and I've bought a kit which I've embellished a bit. (http://s152.photobucket.com/albums/s161/mikaselm/?action=view¤t=invites.jpg) The kit that I have gives me one invitation, once response card, and envelopes...

Well, diy again for me, ofc I'm working on bouquets, now, and I'm using silk flowers, because I just can't bear to see flowers that I've paid so much for die in a few days. I'm just in love with hot pink stargazer lilies, and I got them at a steal...

We're working on a VERY tight budget, especially considering I still want the whole shebang of a traditional wedding. Really, I've been doing very well keeping within the budget. I'm looking at wedding favors now, and good grief, they're sooooo...

I'm definitely going diy with this wedding, everything from doing all of the floral arrangements with silk flowers to printing, assembling, and calligraphy-ing my invitations, and my years of craft obsessions have totally paid off, except for my...
