AW : Last minute wedding details *PIP*

I cannot believe I am less than a week away , time has been flying by. I am so excited I can barely breathe and everyone has been absolutely amazing. Things are all coming together and everything is going to be worth it. I finished the favors last night and decided to make some placecards to make things easier for everyone. My jewelry and pomanders for the bridesmaids came in and I am super thrilled with my Etsy sellers. I just want to share with everyone for forgive me for being so rambly.

Bridesmaids Pomander


Closeup of pomander - Ivory pearl handles with ivory organza ribbon and accents


All 4 together


Wedding favors - tops filled with peppermint pearls and mixed with purple and silver M&M's


Personalized place cards. Found on stylemepretty.com for the template then personalized. I decided to add in the role of the wedding party as well for an extra touch.


My wedding jewelry. Necklace and bracelet.


Bracelet on me

And last but not least when I finished my vows I found this epic poem to use as well as a reading in our wedding :

Love is never easy, but
It turns life into song.
There is no bit of circumstance
That love cannot transform.

There is no weary moment
Of anger or despair
That love cannot convert to grace
And render whole and fair.

How passionate the paradise
That comes from knowing well
That someone in your happiness
Finds pleasure for himself.
How sweet the gift of giving to
Someone who gives to you,
A selflessness that gives to self
More self than self is due.

With all the searing madness of
The world from day to day,
And all the dreary sadness that
No joy can take away.

There is one truth more beautiful
Than anyone can bear:
That two can trust that when they turn
They'll find the other there.

:)

    I was at work all day so couldn't respond sorry ! Thanks everyone for the kind words. The pomanders are so epic and awesome I was on cloud 9 when they arrived , I was so worried about them looking cheap for being silk flowers but they look so perfect and the color is just what I was promised too ! Thanks for all the kind words , I will probably be around here until Thursday as I have the week off work ! I love you all thanks for everything ;)

    Wow, you're almost there!

    I also think the pomanders are adorable.  And I honestly had no idea that they were silks, which made me confused as to how they were ready to go five days in advance haha.

    A few people I showed had no idea until I told them as well. I was VERY happy with the result , and highly recommend Showcase Bridal on etsy.com for anyone looking for an alternative to real - even if it's just a toss boquet. Thanks ladies for all the continued support and kind words , right now it means more than you could ever know <3
