Shoes & Ties

So, Drew got his shoes at the Bay and they are Kenneth Coles with a nifty sneaker ankle/sole for comfiness.

Mine are satin dye-ables bought for a song at a shop called "Celebrations" where the shopkeeper crafts shoe details by hand as a hobby. The shop has beautifully decorated shoes hanging all over the walls. She sold me two hand-made flower clips (seen below) that have rare egyptian gauze (yeah the kind used on mummies!) and little swarovski crystals in the centre. There was such love and care apparent in her for making these. She sewed up one of the petals right there :)

Groomsmen ties are from Tom's Place (so is Drew's wedding suit that we fitted him for this weekend past) and his tie is from the Bay :)

His cufflinks also arrived today - they are spitfire planes - cause Drew, you may not know this, knows every plane in existence and names them in the sky for me :)

Wedding details? Check.

Details

I love shopping around for those little details that say so much at your reception. It starts out fun and creative and everything else to be enjoyed in wedding planning.

For example:

Your thought process if you have read my engagement story will probably look very like mine:

1. O..m..g..! Eiffel Towers! How perfect!

2. On sale for just $1.51 each! Excellent!

3. One hundred and fifty of those will cost me.....wait a second....

Why must everything cost a lot when multiplied by 150?

This is just another reason I dislike math. It joins forces with money and ruins my life.

This time it used the Eiffel Tower.

I might have to spring for these anyway.

So. Awesome.

Oh Martha Stewart Weddings dot com.

You have the neatest things....

Like a calendar board where guests pin their name to the year they met you.

And eye spy with camera for kids.
