It's Alive.
Wedding Day

It's amazing how much stress goes into planning a wedding. You feel everything must be perfect. It's all over with once you walk down the aisle. Time speeds up and in a matter of a few hours it's over. So many things change before, during and after. Hair, seating arrangements, music, friendships, etc. It's madness. It all seems like a blur to me now that it's over. I realized I didn't really have much control of how I wanted every detail to be. What you envision now will most certainly change on the day. In the end we just went with the flow of things and enjoyed the moment while we were in it. Everything came out nice, nicer than we expected. We are so very happy for everyone who came out and shared with us on our special day.
Inspiration.

My biggest inspiration when it comes to anything girly is my grandmother. I remember going through her old photographs and thinking my god she looked like a model for Max Factor or something. She was always so pretty and made up. I love those days, when women looked flawless. I hope to look as pretty as she did on my wedding day :)
Wedding candle favors...

I love being crafty and have been making soy candles for about 3 years. I have made candles for showers and weddings so I figured, why not make my own wedding favor candles! I felt like making my own candle favors would make everything so special :) I am planning on dying them red and wrapping them in a pretty red tulle. Here is a pic of my soy votive candles without dye www.Lotussyfn.etsy.com
Update! I made them... :) I went to Joann fabrics and bought some 10" round red tulle for $2.99 and a pack of 72 white rose ribbon flowers for $4.99. After my soy candles were made I wrapped them up in the tulle, tightened the tulle with the ribbon flower and I had myself a wedding candle favor. Didn't have to spend much and it's handmade with love :)
I addded a little extra touch, each candle is scented with honeysuckle jasmine. My tables are going to smell so sweet and flowery.
My cake topper...

I ordered my cake topper today! I found this pretty Double Happiness cake top online. The symbol means happiness and good luck! I thought it would be a nice touch on the cake. Also, my soon to be hubby is Asian and I thought it would be nice for him and his family if I had a little Asian theme going with the red and the double happiness symbols. A little bit of both of us will make it sweet for our families and guests.
Here is a photo of my actual cake with the topper :)
