Mr Tulip has two little nephews who are the cutest things  and we’ve decided to use them as ring bearers for our wedding.  However instead of having one of them carry the rings, we’ve decided to have each nephew hold thier own pillow with one of our rings attached to it.

I started making this ring pillows last night and finished them off this morning.  If you would like to find out how I made these beautiful (and cost effective) pillows, click to Read the rest of this entry »

Have a look at the sample of the inside of our hymn books. I had a white “leather looking” paper as the cover, baby pink shimmer paper inside and a see-through, tracing paper as well. We then had a piece of glitter ribbon on the front with three see through plastic butterflies attached to silver and white beaded balls in-between each butterfly. It looked stunning.

My florist called me today to tell me that she found just what I was looking for (secrets, secrets hehe) and while I had her on the phone we discussed the idea of me having the cones filled with rose petals hanging from my chapel pews.

Instead of having someone sing or having the formal church ceremony we played three songs. When I walked into the chapel the song played was Celine Dion – I want you to need me. When we signed the register the song that was played was David Gray – the One I love. The song that played when we walked out the chapel was Kci & jojo – All my life. It was incredible and added such a nice touch to the wedding! :)

Im trying to workout my ceremony music and see which songs etc I want to have played at the ceremony.  We’re going to have an organist (although the Sax would have been my first choice but budget calls).  I cant say that Im a big fan of the traditional bridal march – I want something with a difference.

Any advice or different ideas?
