Cake Toppers!

I have loved looking through Etsy to see all of the talented artists and their wonderful cake toppers. I am pretty sure I've chosen the one I want, but here a few cute ones that I wanted to share.

I love this one! Anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE day of the dead stuff! And they are salt and pepper shakers! Greg says no to this as it is a little "freaky" in his opinion. BUT, you never know for bridal shower or rehearsal dinner....They come in all colors! Check it out!










And the one I think I'm going with is fully customizable to look like you and what you will be wearing on your big day!

Some of my cake inspiration! Greg really likes #2, and I am partial to #7, but I also like cascading theme I seem to keep picking out.

The Rings

Oh the rings!

Lucky for Greg, I was all about helping him pick out exactly what I wanted for my engagement rings. I had asked my mom and sister what they thought I wanted and they both said Princess cut! I said I liked Princess cut when I was seven years old! While Princess cut is pretty, it wasn't what I wanted, and I didn't want him to be misinformed.


SO.....I took matters into my own hands. Shamelessly, I actually made a word document with the exact words that described the ring: Solitaire, round, thin band, etc. I think he was a little relieved that I was pretty much handed him the information. (I emailed it to him...twice......but he asked me to :) We never went ring shopping together, so I'm excited to do that for our wedding bands. Here is my wedding ring inspiration below.

Which Shooose do I Choose?



I LOVE the idea of wearing colored shoes. I mean really......how cool is that picture?! My girls will be wearing short black dresses similar to this picture, actually. And the boys will be also be wearing colorful shoes, but we will save that for a later post. Right now I am having a hard time picking the RED shoes that my girls and myself will wear. Here are a few of the contenders.


Critia Nina Shoes





Electra Nina Shoes


And the shoes that I have been swooning and loving since the day I first saw them online are...........

These little beauties by Pura Lopez

Aren't they just perfect? I love them, but unfortunately amazon and endless are all out of my size and thank goodness for that because they aren't cheap!! But I just love them and am hoping to find something similar....until then I am keeping my eyes peeled for my girls and their shoes.

and the ringbearer is.............GUS



Gus is our 4 year old Lab mix......and we can't imagine not including him somehow! So he will be participating as our ringbearer. Although I highly doubt I will trust him with the actual rings....... because I can just see him with our beautiful rings tied around his neck running into THIS:



That is the pond that is near the ceremony site! I could just see him galloping after a bird or something with our Rings dangling from around his neck......I'm thinking about dressing him up with a cute collar and leash like these from Etsy seller K9closet


I also like the flower pillow from Martha Stewart, maybe I can tie a flower like this to a more plain collar.....or maybe that's too much for a boy-dog. :)



I love www.stylemepretty.com


Look at this beautiful inspiration from StyleMePretty
I just LOVE the black feathers with the white flowers.....it's kind of edgy and beautiful at the same time. The rest of their inspiration on the black and gold wedding is just fabulous!

Wedding Inspiration-Black and White


Our wedding colors will be black and white. That much has been decided. Here is an inspiration board I found somewhere online. The trouble I am running into is.....the details........while I have found many things that I like......I am having some difficulty making decisions. I think there are so many fun things that you could do......
