I’ve mentioned before that Peter and I are engaged. My sweet nerd asked me to marry him about eleven months ago. All this time we’ve been tossing around grand ideas and setting a few things in stone but now its really time to actually start putting together all the pieces. Recently we’ve spent a lot of time pouring over thrift stores to find some details that will seems a little more unique to us.


Isn’t the top of this vase amazing?


The thing that I love so much about this idea is that all of these items are out on display in the house. (Well, two of the swans are. We actually bought 16.) We’re happy that we’re not just wasting money on things that we’ll have no use for after the wedding and since our friends are so used to seeing these things in our home, it’ll make the wedding feel that much more like us.
For all you married folks out there: what were some of your favorite things from your wedding decor?





I was the same way while planning our wedding – we got married Sept 19, 2009 – I wanted to make sure whatever we purchased could be sued again! I bought my own cake stand for our wedding cake and used smaller ones for cnadles and yummy deserts – Happy Wedding Planning, remember to keep it about you two
That’s great Katrina. It sounds like you had a very personalized wedding. That’s what we’re hoping for as well!! Thanks for stopping by!
