random goodies

Because our weekends are packed with weddings and other photo shoots, I like to take Mondays (if I can) and use it to plan for our own wedding. So today I spent the day scowering Ebay for various goodies for our dessert bar. I ordered our cellophane baggies for the dessert bar, I actually found some pretty ones that are clear with gold detailing, so I'm hoping if we tie them with a rose color or brown ribbon they will work good. And they were the cheapest- which makes it even better! So those are on their way (or will be soon) which makes me happy.




Now I just need to wait until Hobby Lobby has their ribbon 50% off so I can get the ribbon for the baggies and for the napkins. We are going to head to Sam's later this week to try and get the plastic plates and cups for the cake and whatnot, and maybe I can pick up some of the ingredients we will need for the various goodies at the dessert bar. I've been picking up things for it here and there and freezing them, so I'm hoping that there will be many yumy goodies! Now we just need to get some serving things to put them all on and make the display pretty!

I also got a few other table decoration goodies and I FINALLY found an awesome deal on the rose petals for the aisle!!!! Who would have thought that white petals were more expensive than the colored ones?! But in any case, I worked my Ebay skills and got 6,000 petals to line the aisle for the church (yes, you heard that, 6,000 petals!) for under $30, so that makes me VERY happy since a case of about 100 at Hobby Lobby is $10. They are on their way from China, haha, and will be here in 2 weeks, but they are ordered and I am happy!!!

Hopefully they will look something like this. Only we wont have a runner, and they will be much thicker on the sides.

Again, much thicker, but we are doing this tulle thing, so you kind of get the idea.

Also found my toss garter, I was trying to find the cheapest but still halfway cute garter out there, and luckily Ebay to the rescue again, and I got a cute white one for the toss for $3-- INCLUDING shipping! Yay! So I am happy.




So today was pretty productive. It's getting down to the end! I can ALMOST see the light...now let's just pay off the linens and my hair/makeup, and we will be done!
