Decisions...I FINALLY MADE SOME!

Wedding Decor by pinkbot on Polyvore.com

I made a lil' Polyvore set of my favorite elements so I could see how they work together. I came up with something I'm pleased with and it's time to start buyin' up the goods. So far, I've gotten the plates, the long candle holders, the flatware, and the cups. I also go these adorable napkins that for some reason wouldn't show up on my Polyvore. Today I will finish getting the diamonds, buckets, and perhaps candles.

Yesterday, my friend Frankie, who's also engaged, and I went into downtown to get some Wedding related goodness. I found a wonderful fabric for my shrug and reception accents...an embroidered silk. However, it's colors scheme means that my reception dress will be the same material as my formal dress...which I love, so it's all good. We also found a supplier of the gorgeous, vintage style veiling so that we can create our own veils for a fraction of the price that over-priced bridal companies charge. The veiling is hard to find, but I got people on the INSIDE. It's most likely the reason that people can charge so much for pieces made out of it....that and ANYTHING bridal related is automatically inflated.

Anyways...off to purchase goodies!

Tokidoki themes

Tokidoki's art is a jam-packed landscape of cartoon-y fun...filled with hundreds of different elements to create a whimsical, joyful feeling. That's the type of vibe I'd like to incorporate. His art has several different themes that are very prominent throughout years of work. Some, I've figured out how to incorporate and some, I'm not sure I should. I want to throw them out there to see if any of your creative brains can come up with something magical. I have faith =)

Here are just a few:
- Diamonds (often with cartoon faces, but hey)

These will be easy...there already on some of the vases and, the always fun, huge table decor diamonds

- Lollipops in the candy bar and maybe even the table decor! You can get them in so many colors, swirl patterns, and sizes!

- Cherry Blossoms - most likely these will be in the cake AND I'd love to find trees for the ceremony spot...but I'm not sure how likely this will be for Ohio in October. I found LED trees, but I can't decide if that's ridiculously fun or ridiculously yikes.

- Wraped Candy (well, vampire wrapped candy) - in the candy bar and maybe table decorations?
- Sparrows
- Stars
- Hearts (Balloons!)
- Clouds - Rainbows - Lightning

- Skulls
- Music (Records, notes, MP3 players, boomboxes)
- Cows
- Daisies
- Milk Cartons
- Pink Haired Ladies (CHECK!)

Now, obviously, I do not want a cow decorations. But, if anything inspires you guys, I'd love to hear it!
