This is so exciting! Amanda, our fantastic photographer, e-mailed me last night and said that she submitted our wedding to the Wedding Chicks blog and it was approved; thusly, we are the featured DIY wedding!
Go check it out, here (if you haven’t already clicked above) and leave some comments to let Amanda feel the love!

I interrupt my EPIC wedding recaps to bring you, this:
Saw this featured on another blog, and wanted to share this amazing “Save the Date” wedding video for all!
(Will resume previously scheduled recaps ASAP)

I apologize in advance, because this is probably the most boring post of the bunch.
Suggested listening material for this post:
Of course, we didn’t have photography start until noontime-ish, so the morning was decidedly photo-less. But, allow me to bring you back in my time machine to the morning of November 21, which started for me at around 5 in the morning.
It was not that the (amazing!! king size!!) bed was uncomfortable, but I suppose I was just a little too excited to sleep. So, I did what I do whenever I cannot get back to sleep – I take a walk.
Yup, it was still pretty dark out, so I just took the elevator down, then strolled around the pool area and breathed in the quiet stillness of the morning. It was perfect out, probably 70 degrees, no humidity, and this reflective silence filled the air, interrupted every few seconds by the flip-flop of my footwear. I walked around the building, by the pool, then back inside again – just enough to get my blood pumping a little, and make me a little tired.
Returning to the room, I decided a bath might do the trick in getting me a little sleepier. So, I enlisted the help of my good friend, Mr. Bubbles!
So, into the whirlpool tub did I pour the ENTIRE bottle of bubble bath..haha! I always wanted to do that, and whenever would I have a better excuse than “it’s my wedding day?”
I read a magazine and laid back for about 1/2 an hour, then shaved my legs and got into the shower, all clean and bubble-gum smelling then combed my hair and slathered on some of my scented body lotion before drifting back off into a two-hour nap…ahh, relaxation.
Before I knew it, my 8 AM alarm was going off, and Liz was popping her head through the slightly-ajar door, “time to wake up!”

THE RECAPS are officially beginning! Wahoo =)
I am planning on breaking up the day into sections, which will include insight & comments, as well as visual and audio aids, as necessary. Loosely, the schedule will be presented as follows, and hopefully, once they’re completed in full, they will be linked here:
X. Details, Schmetails.
XI. With a little help from my friends.
When these recaps are complete, I may also attempt a Honeymoon version of recaps, although those photographs will not be nearly as shiny and pretty, lol. Let me know if there is any particular subject you’d like to hear see blogged about regarding our wedding recaps and YOU NEVER KNOW, I may feature it in the upcoming days, weeks or years…however long it takes me to complete this journaling expedition! 
* = pro pics.

Remember this post?
So, this is how they turned out:
(pic via my iPhone)
What I did was really simple, and took only a few materials:
So…yup! Less than $20 for three small centerpieces 
All I did was wash out the jars, wrap ribbon around and secured with hot glue, split up the pebbles and distributed evenly, filled the jars 3/4 with water, then ‘cleaned’ the flowers (removing leaves and randomness) and cut the stems short to arrange in the jars.
(The flowers were green mums, yellow carnations and *can’t see in this picture* white gerber daisies)
To make it more fun, I also personalized a $1 frame with ribbon, random magnets I had laying around from the dollar section and the couples’ picture, and then arranged it on an Ikea small display easel (unused leftover from our wedding decorations)
(Ironically, their initials are the same as me and hubs’!)
I decided on that pic from her Facebook album of e-pics – I knew she would to have a piece showcasing their little ‘family’
(This is how they looked together)
I was happy with the way they turned out, and they looked cute on our 12-top table at Mimi’s Cafe! Bonus? Bridal shower guests liked them and took the flowers home, which is always the best compliment!

So glad I didn’t see these, oh, two months ago:
I am totally smitten with these silly, jelly shoes. Look at all the colors available..oh boy.
Anything totally silly you’re window-shopping for?

Vintage. Soft. Organic.
These are just a few words that would describe the feeling I’d like to convey in a potential Trash the Dress or Post-wedding bridal shoot.
With inspiration from the pic above, I’d love to find someplace woody with neat lighting effects, and also get in a few detail shots with a color scheme different from our wedding – namely – the switch from blue to pink!
Heehee! But really…
I’d do this with subtle changes in attire – of course that would mean pink shoes, possibly a pink veil/fascinator and maybe replace the corset ribbon…a lovely pearly-pink…or just keep it simple, who knows.
What would you/did you do, post-wedding, to get a little more bang for your buck (dress or other accessory/item-wise)?
