AW: I gotta share!!! (PIP)

So..... my hanger arrived today from lilafrances!!!  I love it!!!!

and I got my cake topper.... not DIY (I didn't have the patience)

And here is my centerpiece mock-up.  I set it on yellow posterboard that is about the color of my table linens.....  the frame will hold the table number (still working on a design)

candles not lit

candles lit and lights out...

Finally.... I got this card box at Michael's and it needs some embellishment.  It is white satin with pearls on the top (my gown has pearls and bling).  I want to add some bling and ribbon, but I'm not sure whether to keep it all white and make it sparkly in some way or to use my colors (grey and yellow) to brighten it up a bit.



Thanks in advance for your feedback!

    I really like that hanger!  Was the person who made it an Etsy seller?  I like the look of it, but my only question is it sturdy enough to hold your dress?  I want a hanger that's something like that but my dress is kind of heavy so I'm thinking about getting a wood one.

    </div><div>I got it from Etsy seller lilafrancis.  It is not very strong and there is a note that came with it that states you should not store your dress on it.  It's really just for the pictures because the metal is not very strong.  It will hold my dress long enough to "ham it up" for the camera!

    Setback...... the little candles didn't last 3 hours.  The taper is still going at the 4 hour mark.  I am hoping for at least a 5-hour burn time to get through my festivities.  I think I need votives. Surprised  Darn, I liked the light effects of the little candle holder.
