Speaking of Etsy
I can thank Weddingbee for introducing me to two of the most exciting and distracting aspects of my last 3-4 months of wedding planning--Gocco and Etsy. :) I posted my first Etsy purchase below--the super-cute ring bowl from Paloma's Nest. Today marks Etsy purchase number two--awesome hairpins from seller Pavoreal. Here they are!! I love love love them! And I have nothing but great things to say about Angela from Pavoreal. She spent loads of time discussing exactly what I wanted, looking at pictures of my dress, and sending me detailed photos of the types of beads she could use in the pins. In the end, they came out exactly as I had hoped. I can't wait to receive them!!
Favorite recent superfluous wedding purchase
When I saw these awesome ring bowls on Etsy at Paloma's Nest, I was in love, but I just couldn't justify spending an extra $20 on something I didn't actually need. That is, until we met with our priest. He mentioned that our rings would need to be sitting on the altar during the ceremony. Well, they couldn't very well sit up there in just their plain old box from the jewelry store! I clearly needed a ring bowl! Yay!
Caroline from Paloma's Nest was great to talk with and really helpful in letting us know what the final product would look like based on how many words we requested, etc. We ended up using a line of poetry by John Ashbery, and I am so pleased with the results.

Attire
I thought I would mix things up a little bit since my last couple of posts have been about my DIY projects. I just went last week for my final gown fitting, which was really exciting! Because my fiance occasionally reads this, I am not going to post any photos of me in the gown, but this is it on someone who I think is much taller than I am. The gown is gorgeous, but a little bigger and heavier than I originally thought I wanted. Fortunately, the seamstress was able to cut the bottom layer of the train so it is just a sweep length, and the only chapel length that will have to be bustled is the lace overlay. That makes it much lighter, and I don't have a huge bustle sticking off of my butt.
If you are considering Casablanca for your gown, I would definitely recommend them. I really wanted to go as inexpensive as possible on the gown (you know, the whole spending tons of money on a dress you will wear once business), and I think their gowns are a really good value for the money. I first looked at David's, but the only dress I really liked there was about $900, so I kept looking. I found the Casablanca gown at a fancy bridal store, and I really liked it, but it was about $1000. When I went home and looked online, I found it for $675! Despite the cost difference, I really preferred to buy in person, so I checked out a couple of other shops that carried Casablanca, and I ended up finding it locally for the same price (although they did charge me an extra $100 for the hollow to hem). Don't get me wrong, I am sure the quality of Casablanca is not like the quality of a $5000 Monique Lhuillier gown. But for a very budget-conscious bride, I thought the gown was beautiful and the quality was excellent.
I originally did not want a veil, but of course, after trying one on with the dress, I thought maybe I did want one after all. That's right, not only did I want one, I wanted a chapel length one. Yeesh. MOH was no help--she convinced me that I really just looked like a bride with the veil on. I saved a lot of money by ordering from Veilshop.com--about $50 for a single layer ivory chapel length cut edge with no details (compared with between $100-200 at the bridal store). I definitely plan to take the veil off for the reception, but I am happy with the decision to wear one for the ceremony.
Recent obsession--hairpins. My stylist was able to replicate this look with my hair, and now I am on the hunt for hairpins. I think I am sold on Pavoreal from Etsy--something like these champagne pins, but a little lighter in color. Yummy!
For bridesmaids gowns, we ended up getting an awesome deal at Ann Taylor. The girls (six) are all wearing Meadow Green with Honeydew sashes. Half are going strapless (Chloe style) and half are having straps (Averie). I guess they were discontinuing these particular styles, and the dresses ended up being $59 each with $6 sashes. I don't necessarily know whether the girls could ever wear these again after the wedding, but there might be a chance, which is more than what can be said for most BM's dresses.
The guys (including groom) are all wearing khaki suits (similar to these, but not exactly). They are actually tuxes, but they pretty much just look like suits--no vests, no bow ties, flap pockets instead of the little slit things. We are buying the groomsmen's ties as their gifts--Brooks Brothers via the outlet--a very good match to the Meadow Green, and they have ivory polka dots. The latest thing I have decided to add to my ever-growing to-do list--green argyle socks. We'll see if it pans out. Drop me a line if you know of any inexpensive sources for green argyle!
All in all, I am really pleased with how reasonable we were able to keep costs, and I am excited to see how everyone looks!

And then there was Gocco
It was about the time I seriously started in on the DIY invitations that I found Weddingbee. I was amazed at the awesome invitations all the bees were making! It took me a while to even research what this Gocco thing was they were all raving about, because I figured it was some high tech artsy gadget that I would have no idea how to use (just like I have no idea how to make a webpage or actually design something using a computer program that is not Word). After that, however, it didn't take long for me to decide that I had to have a Gocco. Unfortunately, I just couldn't justify the cost, especially since I had saved so much money on the invitations, etc.--it would have almost been like canceling out the thriftiness. Luckily for me, I decided to check Craigslist. Less than 12 hours before I checked, someone in northeast Philly posted up a Gocco B6 for sale--$60, only used once, came with original inks, bulbs, screens, manual, etc. It was meant to be!! (Granted, I got lost on the way to pick it up, forgot my cell phone, and had to try multiple street-corner payphones in a borderline sketchy area of the city at dusk in order to get directions. I am sure I have ear herpes now.) But I successfully purchased a Gocco of my very own!
I decided to use the rehearsal dinner invites as my first experiment. I watched the Paper Source tutorial first, but that only served to make me more nervous, so I thought I should just go for it. I figured the worst that could happen was that the crazy lightbulb things would flash in my face and blind me for life. :) I wanted to sort of make these invites match the rest of the paper, and on eBay I was able to find the same fern stamp (only bigger) that was on the invite set, so that was kind of a cool find. I then ordered white A6 flat cards and chartreuse envelopes from Paper Source along with the envelope liner template kit (probably could have made my own template again, but I really wanted the kit) and some avocado ink.
For the template, I printed my text out on my inkjet, stamped the fern in black ink, and ran it through a xerox machine. Unfortunately, my first master got wet after I flashed it (long story), so I had to make a new original and master, and I ended up using the regular black printer ink with the photocopied fern stamp, and it worked fine.
I set up in front of the computer so I could watch the Paper Source tutorial step by step, and I also used the manual itself and the tutorial here. After the first master getting wet, the second time worked like a charm. The only thing I would do differently next time is to fashion some kind of guide so I could line everything up each time. It didn't make a huge difference for this project, but I think it would be helpful in general.
For the envelopes, I used the same Container Store wrapping paper to line them. I used plain clear Avery address labels for the fronts, but I did want something a little nicer for the return address. Despite being convinced I should buy a personalized embosser because I am out of my mind at this point regarding DIY projects, I was able to talk myself down off the ledge from another $60 purchase on the grounds that I had just unnecessarily bought the Gocco. Instead, I ordered a rubber stamp with our address from Staples ($12) and bought a heat embosser from A.C. Moore ($14 with coupon). I prefer to look at this as a $35 savings instead of a $25 purchase.
All in all, I probably could have easily printed these invites on my home printer, rubber-stamped the fern, and been done with it. But I really wanted to learn how to use the Gocco, and I am pleased with how these came out! Yay for Gocco!
Price breakdown:
Gocco--$60 (But does this really count? It is an investment in my crafting future.)
Paper Source--$30
Fern stamp--$5
Labels & liner paper--already had
Return address stamp and heat embosser--$25
Total: $60 (not including postage)

DIY invitations
So from the get-go, I knew invitations were one place where I felt comfortable cheaping out. There are approximately 3 (okay 6) people who will keep this--me, my MOH, and our parents. I know everyone else will throw the invitation away as soon as the wedding is over. Or they will do what I do--keep the invitations to every wedding they have ever been to in a box somewhere in the attic with every birthday card that anyone ever mailed them--pack rat a bit? :)
Anyhow, back before I became a crazy crafting bride-to-be, I was checking out the DIY kits by Gartner Studios. Nothing fancy, but they do appear pretty user friendly. I wasn't incredibly impressed by the prices, until I found a kit on clearance. And then a kit on eBay. I purchased two of these on eBay for a total of $44 (which included shipping). The kits include: invitations/envelopes/ribbon, response cards/envelopes (50 of each), place cards, programs, and a few miscellaneous cards that could be used for menus or something (100 of each). A sweet deal, but by the time I had them in my hot little hands, I had seen the magic worked by the crafty brides on such sites as Weddingbee, and I was a little disappointed in my plain invites. In the end, I think I was able to turn them into something a little more special, and still pretty much on the cheap (price breakdown to follow).
First, I snazzed up the envelopes with liners. I purchased wrapping paper from the Container Store, cut my own template out of cardstock, trimmed the corners with one of those corner rounder things, and used double sided tape to adhere the liner to the inside of the envelope.
I also dressed up the outside of the envelopes. I found this template for address labels from Martha, and it was exactly what I was looking for. I obviously couldn't afford calligraphy, and the plain white Avery labels didn't scream wedding invitation to me, but these worked out really well. I bought 8x11 sheets of kraft label paper online (I don't own a Xyron), printed out the labels on my home inkjet, trimmed them with a paper cutter, and used a deckle edge shears for the ends of the label. While I was at it, I ordered round kraft labels to use to seal the envelopes (the smaller green ones came with the Gartner kit). I figured if I used the glue on the envelope itself, odds were that people would rip the envelope liners that I spent so much time on, and they would never get to appreciate them.
The invitations themselves I just printed up in Word using the template from the kit. For fonts, I used Adobe Garamond Pro for the regular font and LainieDay for the script. I printed these on the laser printer where I work--names in green to match the little fern, and everything else in black--simple. The ribbon was a little more of a challenge. Tying bows was a pain in the butt, plus the knot caused a bump in the envelope, meaning it wouldn't fit through the magic USPS mail slot and would cost me over a dollar to mail instead of just 41 cents--that's right baby, one ounce. So instead of a bow, I just made a little band out of the ribbon, secured it in the back with those Zots glue dots, and slid the enclosures under the ribbon as well.
Finally, the enclosures. Response cards were your basic. However, this next bit of DIY goodness represents one of my proudest moments. I made my own map. If you are a graphic designer, this will not impress you. However, it was a big step for me. :) I used this great tutorial from the Knot, and it basically told me everything I needed to know. I printed the map and a directions/accommodations card on kraft paper (important, as I couldn't find white cardstock to exactly match the invitations), trimmed with the paper cutter, and I was done!
Here's the price breakdown:
Gartner kits (2)--$44 total (also includes place cards, programs, menu cards for future use)
Kraft label sheets, round labels, paper--approx $50
Paper for lining envelopes--approx $20 (also used for rehearsal dinner invites)
Miscellaneous (double sided tape, zots, corner rounder, deckle edge scissors, paper trimmer)--I am not going to count these, because I will and have already used them for so much other stuff.
Total (not including postage)--approx $115 (mailed about 80 invites)
I was proud of myself. :)

The basics
So our original plan started out a lot more rustic than our final plan is ending up. It helps to know the wedding location. We were initially going to have our ceremony outdoors in front of a red barn on the mill's property and then go indoors for the reception. However, we started attending this wonderful, quaint little church, and we just felt so at home that we decided to hold the ceremony there. On the plus side for me, it has eliminated the worrisome logistics of setting up a ceremony site (renting chairs, setting up the aisle so you don't see the parking lot in the pics of me walking down, making a rain plan, etc.).
So now we will be married in this great church by a priest we love, take a few pictures, and then head off to the reception (for more pictures--and then the party). :) The drive is about 20 minutes, which is a little far, but at least the directions are fairly straightforward. We initially thought about providing transportation for the guests to the reception, but it just wasn't in our budget (the hotel is close to the ceremony but not to the reception). The wedding party, however, will be riding in style in a ginormous limo bus thing. Transportation tip--when inviting people to be in your wedding party, keep in mind that standard limos only hold 8-10 people. Fourteen attendants + bride and groom = ginormous limo bus thing.
The mill has a really great setup for a wedding reception. The main floor can hold up to 150 people (we are inviting about 125), and the lower level opens outdoors to the canal and river--the perfect place for an indoor/outdoor cocktail hour. The plan is for cocktails, seated dinner, and dancing (DJ). I did have some concerns about the mill being a sort of non-traditional wedding venue. They frequently have weddings, and their rental company has someone on site the day of to arrange the setup, etc., but I was concerned about someone being there to coordinate all the personal touches and DIY projects that I am entertaining. So we ended up hiring a day of coordinator--Jeannine McKnight of Jean Louise Design (I think her new website is under construction). Jeannine has been great so far, her prices are reasonable, and she has given me awesome peace of mind.
Here are two pictures that sort of inspired and set the tone for the reception (both from The Knot):
This centerpiece has basically been the inspiration for our entire reception decor. I love it. I love the casual garden feel, I love that the little pots of herbs can double as favors, I love the rustic wooden box. Love. It.
I will post more about recreating this look later.
Unfortunately, the reception is basically indoors, so no trees for hanging mason jars like this. We will have them filled with flowers though--on the cocktail tables, in the bathrooms, maybe on the windowsills, possibly at the ceremony. Our florist has some cool old blue ones that he will be using, and I'll probably buy a case of them for candle holders at the church and other assorted DIY touches.
Okay, so I guess next I will try to put together some more structured posts like I have seen other girls do (i.e. dress, flowers, cake, paper, etc.). That will probably be more helpful than the stream of consciousness that this appears to be. :)

Here we go...
So this is my first attempt at blogging, and I have only a very vague idea of how this thing works. Your patience is appreciated. :)
The reason I started this blog is to share some of my wedding planning ideas, DIY projects, money-saving tips, etc. I am by no means an artist/graphic designer/crafter extraordinaire, but throughout my planning process, I have gotten so much inspiration from what other brides have out on the net, that I thought I would share as well.
The wedding is coming up in a little less than 7 weeks, so I probably won't be able to post all my planning info beforehand (busy!), but I decided I should at least get started. We are having a small church wedding in the town where we live, followed by a reception at a restored old mill on the Delaware River. We are going for a rustic sort of feel but not casual as in "we hope you'll wear overalls." We have been really lucky to be able to support a lot of awesome local vendors who we are very excited to be working with!
So there's the summary. If I am feeling ambitious, I will try to get some more details and photos going later tonight.
