Tiki Oasis!

This past weekend we enjoyed a fun weekend at Tiki Oasis in San Diego. We had such a blast! We are already planning for next year!

A wedding made with love...

Of course most everything had to be handmade in our wedding. That is just the kind of gal I am. Here are some details in the wedding that I made myself or altered.

1. The dress was purchased in the fashion district in LA for A STEAL! I won't even say how much because even I felt like I was robbing the vendor. I altered the bustline a bit to look a little more dramatic and gathered. The entire back of the dress was accented with vintage satin covered buttons which I hand sewed onto the dress. I believe there ended up being 120 buttons or so. The bolero was not included with the dress so it is hand made.

 

You can see below the buttons on the back of the dress. 

Look at that bodice detailing!

 

2. My Bouquet was also handmade by myself! I picked up these gorgeous latex florals in the Fashion District in LA through my supplier for "Andy's Eye Candy."  I handpicked an array of different blooms (roses, dahlias, etc.) I then wrapped the stems with baby pink satin ribbon and glued pearls along the satin covered stem.

 

 

3.All the invitations, programs and stationary were also handmade.

 

4. All the bouquets and buttoners for the bridal party were also handmade by myself. Both were made with artificial carnations. I was not about to spend big bucks on real flowers...these things last forever! ;)

 

 





 



6 Months Hitched!

Today we celebrate the little milestone of hitting six months in marriage. I couldn't be happier!!! I have slowly edited our amazing photographs (due to our crazy schedules.) I can't stop looking at them.
