October 2012 Weddings

Evolution of a theme (and checks)

I picked my colors and invitations last month.  That's about as "theme-y" as I wanted to get.  Alas, it's wedding crunch time (28 days) and I'm starting to 2nd guess everything.  I keep looking at everyone's DIY projects and cute ideas and saying to myself, "oh, I should do that." 

I went to Michaels today and I was just overwhelmed with wedding ideas.  I went to 3 (yes, 3) Michaels stores looking specifically for wedding favor stuff but got sucked in to everything else.  At the end of the day, this is what I got:
-gold favor boxes (my mom will get the navy blue ribbon because the ones I went to didn't have the specific width I was looking for)
-white and silver "thank you" tags for the favors
-antique gold picture frame (going to put a cute saying about the guest book and favors)
-guest book pens
-navy blue scrapbook paper (I'll wrap this around the can that will hold the guest book pens)
-gold glitter adhesive letters (I'll put these on the navy blue scrapbook paper)
-a blue and gold Paris storage box (looks like a book from the side--will open it and have the guest favor boxes in it.

My guest book is a coffee table book about Paris that FI and I picked out last month.  Looks like I'm going for a "Paris fall elegance" theme and didn't even know it!
