Check out these perfectly purple bottles I found at the Nashville flea market! They totally fit the vibe for our wedding. I’m not quite sure what we’re going to incorporate with these yet…but I do have some ideas. Any suggestions?

My vintage brooch bouquet will rock your socks off!

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

As Philip and I have been working with our wedding budget, we’ve both been very realistic with what we want versus what is truly possible.

So 6 months ago, when we started envisioning our wedding day and setting our priorities, I have to admit, flowers were a low item on the totem pole. Don’t get me wrong. I love flowers. I think they’re beautiful and certainly wouldn’t complain if I received some tomorrow. :) But from the beginning of our planning process, I’ve really disliked the idea of spending money on something that will be beautiful for a short amount of time and then will wither, dry away and turn into a fragile mess. I’m SUPER excited to share that I’ve found a solution to my conundrum…a vintage brooch bouquet!

Isn’t that BEAUTIFUL?! Thanks to Amanda over at Fantasy Floral Designs, I’m going to have my very own lovely vintage brooch bouquet created from a collection of pins, earrings, brooches, rings, charms, etc. given to me by friends, family members and others who are special to me. Not only is it a unique piece of art, but it’s a keepsake I’ll get to treasure for years to come!

Everyone I’ve told about my project  has been so excited! I’m so excited others are as excited as I am! Just this past week I started telling people and I’ve already been given two brooches! (A cool little frog pin and a lovely gold butterfly!) I CAN’T wait to see what my final product looks like.

If you’re interested in contributing an item for my bouquet or have questions, thoughts, suggestions, PLEASE get in touch with me at becomingmrsdial (at) gmail (dot) com. I’d love to hear from you!

How fun! I love the 1920s inspiration. The fake moustaches are a neat, playful touch too!

Ecofriendly, freeze-dried wedding flower petals

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

I was browsing around on Twitter earlier and noticed two fellow local bridal bloggers (The Future Mrs. Smith and Sassy Bride on a Mission) were discussing freeze-dried flowers. One of them recommended a site called Flyboy Naturals – ecofriendly rose petals. I had to check it out.

I’m so excited about this site. Just look at these beautiful purple petals! Not to mention, there are more than 105 colors, they’re biodegradeable, non-staining and not slippery. These are definitely on my shopping list. :) Thanks ladies!
