wedding day: details

it's all in the details. isn't it?

i've always been a detail kind of girl. i love the small, often unnoticed details. & i always have. i spot them & am instantly drawn. i can't explain it.

needless to say, there were, i'm sure, a lot of unnoticed details of our wedding that i took great effort into creating. so i'm going to highlight what my favorite details were.

first off: i absolutely loved my flowers. they turned out absolutely gorgeous.

our flourist was belle of the ball design & they were great.

they were awesome about listening to what we really wanted & pulled it off.

i didn't want everything to be the same, i wanted to have a handful

of different things & have them all come together as one

& they really helped me achieve that look with our center pieces.

i'm not a big fan of giant center pieces. i like to see who is sitting across from me

so i wanted to keep them simple, low to the table & lovely.

we intermixed wood boxes with candles & a variation of milk glass,

vintage blue jars & clear cups & bottles to hold flowers on other tables

mixing heights with cake platters & different sizes of jars.

everyone has either been to or been in a wedding with not so great bridesmaids dresses

& i really, really did not want that. i wanted to give my bridesmaids a dress

that they could wear again & hopefully like. i really liked them, so it gave me

hope that they would too.

their dresses were a very simple tiffany blue kind of color with a cinched waist.

since it was so simple, i wanted to add something to it so we paired it with

a mint & gold necklace & a gold belt from anthropolgie.

it gave the dress some sparkle without being over board

our favors were succulents & bags of candy that the guests could fill.

the candy bar was a really fun part to plan. i picked some of my all time

favorite candies, & got huge orders of them. it was heaven. plus, we had left overs.

it was a really cute & fun display too. i loved having it.

i also made signs to go around saying what was what, like this sweets & favors sign.

my mom & i were having a hard time figuring out how people were going to seal

their bags of candy.

it needed to be a quick, simple method. tying bows seemed to difficult/time consuming &

we weren't able to find stickers that we loved.

so my mom somehow found a site where you could custom make stickers

& boom! ausint & i have our own stickers. she even got crafty

& figured out how to put one of the flowers from our invitation on the sticker too.

i was impressed with them & thought they were pretty cute.

our guests table cards were also made by my cousin marta & matched with our invitations

our cake was from skiff cakes & was delicious. we had three flavors: carrot cake, white cake with strawberry filling & lemon poppyseed with lemon filling. we left our cake fairly simple. i couldnt decide on a pattern or what color i would make it, so i opted for traditional white with what they called a "rapture" design. not quite sure why that's the name... but it is. our flourist then added flowers onto the cake to give it some pop.

i loved our cake though & how it looked. i know it was probably a really overlooked detail because from far away, it just looked white. so i wanted everyone to get a close up.
