Fleurs, part deux

Here are some more floral arrangements that I've found so far (although some of them trend a little more yellow than I would like)...

Details, details

This is backtracking a bit (I have some catching up to do on posts since so much is in the works) but I wanted to recap one of my favorite details so far. I received a tiny box that was shipped to our house and arrived right on my birthday. R set it out with the rest of the presents so I opened it up and I was so excited! It was this antique ribbon I had bought to wrap the bouquets:

Now, it is gorgeous on its own, but what makes it even better is that the paisley design matches the papers we are going to use for our invitations...

this is the Serpentine Regalia patterned paper and Wicked paper from Envelopments

Rehearsal dinner

We are currently trying to finalize plans for the rehearsal dinner at a restaurant called Aqua. We loved the atmosphere when we first checked it out and the menu sounds great! We'll be in HHI next weekend so we are going to give it a try.


In the meantime, I have been looking at invitations to use and out of this have developed a whole new color scheme just for the rehearsal (not that I don't still love my green and brown, but I thought something new would be fun). I am totally obsessed with the color coral right now, and since it's a beachy restaurant (called Aqua) I want to use coral and aqua invites. Here is one I've found that I absolutely love:



I think we could do a lot with this theme and it fulfills my wish of having another color palette to play with without having to have a whole other wedding!
