Dream Wedding Dress

I found my dream wedding dress the other day. Too bad it sold from this etsy shop a long time ago. It combines my love of fish motifs, mid-century illustration and short wedding dresses with straps. I know it was definitely not meant to be a wedding dress, but I think it would have worked for our wedding.

I received my actual wedding dress in the mail today nordstrom.com. I actually really like it and it fits pretty amazingly for a dress I didn't get to try on before I bought.

Wedding Straws

I made a ton of these straws to use for cocktail hour at our wedding a long time ago, but just now got around to taking pictures of them. I bought both the straws and the origami paper at the Marukai 98 Cent Store. I carved the stamp with our initials from a speedball stamp block. I kind of think they might have looked better without the initials on them though. I totally stole this idea from multiple sources, my favorite being planetmithi's wedding flags. I think Grace from Design*Sponge made similar straws for her wedding too.

Possible Cake/Dessert Stand

Four my wedding, my mom is going to be baking several small cakes and some cookies and dessert bar kind of things. We are going to try to make some cake stands by gluing thrifted components together with epoxy. I think these Franciscan Coronado plates and sherbet cups would make either a good two tiered server or two separate small cake stands. Both plates are chipped underneath so I don't think its any big loss.
