We still need to make the pendants for Will's name.
Here's three delightful 'Inspiration Photos' below:

And here's the beginnings of our collection (below). All to be added to glass jars eventually.
I leave you with GREAT NEWS: 5 dresses down, 2 to go!!! : )
Oh, things are just coming together! My husband wants to know if he can be invited? He'll be the official taste tester.:) Lori
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have banners with their names...I have seen those fun party tables with candy for weddings and love the idea. Looks like the dresses and plans are coming along well. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteHow FUN and NEAT!!! It is going to be a FABULOUS wedding!!!!♥
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the camera! I want to purchase it from you when you're done:)
ReplyDeleteHi Marylou,
ReplyDeleteWow, when is the big day again??? You've had entirely too much time to work on this......hee hee, I thought all a mother got was maybe 2 months!!!! Oh yeah, that's just how my daughter did things.......okay, you're blessed to have more time. We'll all have to get together again after it's all over......maybe for lunch.
Take care,
Meri
Yum. I'm so there. :)

Love the banner! Congrats on the dresses. Such sweet colors.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are working your buns off! It's looking beautiful and FUN!
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing vintage items in Sarah's aqua......everywhere I go!!
Just love the banners, and the candy, and the vases, and the dresses . . . I can't wait to see it all come together. Seems like you all are having just way too much fun with the planning. How exciting! :o)
ReplyDeleteNot posting but keeping up with all your wedding fun. I would be eating all that candy if it was in my house:-) I think the candy tables are such a good idea. My daughter had fortune cookies in all different color take home containers with chop sticks and little colored paper umbrellas sticking out of the cartons because she knew if she did candy I would have eaten it all before the guests ever arrived:-) I forget when the wedding is?

I love your sweet shop!!!
ReplyDeleteThose dresses are amazing, you guys are moving at light speed.

this looks like the wedding of the century! Wow! I have been doing my new blog-hopping and I know i have been here before because of the part where "they had to decide if they still like each other" and now I get to see the whole wedding. I love aqua so you have me there. Just adore the flower bouquets...so clever...and those flower girl dresses are perfectly. Love the frames in the trees...wow! You have done so well. The flowers are fabulous, too!
ReplyDeleteWe are pretty new to the world of blogland. My daughter gave the blog to me as a gift and a big surprise one day. Come and visit, if you would like. We make repurposed jewelry but our blog is all about our lives, our family (and dogs), other art that we do, our home and wonderful estate sale and rummage sale finds. There is a necklace Kat made from vintage flowers from the sixties in our store. Love it. Seemed to take her forever!

I have been enjoying seeing the evolution of this wedding and I can see you, head bowed down at the sewing machine, stitching away for hours and the whole time the wheels in your head are thinking of the "next thing". You and Sara are a great team...you should maybe think about being professional party planners? Everything is looking charming. You must have a lot of discipline to not break into that candy!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us peek at the progress.
Hugs!
Joyce
You are doing so well getting ready for this wedding. Congralations on having so many of the dresses finished. All those goodies look so yummy. Of course I'm still dieting (but I've lost about 60 pounds so I'm looking good.)
ReplyDeleteThis is so exciting, Mary Lou! And the bunting is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment you left regarding my shoulder. Funny that you mentioned the EMS. The chiro office I work at has "tens units" which are basically ems machines. We loan them out to patients and I'm not sure why we didn't think of using them on my shoulder. :o\ I have an appointment to see an orthopedic doctor next week. I'll see what he has to say, but I'm thinking getting back to yoga might be the ultimate answer for me. We'll see...
Wow, I am so impressed with all that you and Sara are doing for this wedding. I just love the whimsy of it all.
ReplyDeleteI love the jar candy idea. The kids at the wedding are just going to go wild over it. Thank goodness they all get to go home with their parents. lol.
your friend,
Jessica
Looks like it will be yummy!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Isn't it fun to plan??? I had so much fun planning my daughter's wedding! The dresses are beautiful! And the candy bar is going to be a HIT!
ReplyDeleteVery cute.
ReplyDeletecant wait to see all the wedding pictures! I love the idea of a sweet shop. and I bet those dresses are beautiful!

What an awesome time you are having. It must be magical. You remind me of Cinderella...sewing and making things so pretty for the ball. And then...there's a prince charming called Will and a lovely girl called Sarah and YOU can be the Fairy Godmother! Yep...wedding bliss is about to unfold!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you from your girl with the curl...up North!
We were at a wedding and they did that and called it the Candy Bar !!!
ReplyDeleteVery "sweet" idea...and being a sugar/chocolate gal...I enjoyed it!
The dresses are so pretty. Love the color.
Warmly,
deb :)
Hi Mary Lou! Thank you so much for sharing your garland and wedding preparations! What a lovely keepsake for your daughter to have after her big day! The candy idea is just magical! I think you are having the most fun of all! Elizabeth

So adorable. I have a few jars you could use for your sweet shop. Too bad we're so far away! Everything is coming together. When's the big day? Mimi
ReplyDeleteBeautiful banner, and the wedding planning seems so delightfully organized. Love, love, love the shade of blue on the dresses...perfect! Sorry, I've been so MIA here for a while. I'm now off to reading all your posts that I sorely missed!

I am totally in love with the candy "bars" at parties - did one for my friend's one year old - it was so much fun!

ReplyDeleteOh now look at these gorgeous blue things! Wow....you really know what you are doing, and your camera work is marvelous to capture every lovely detail! Hey, thank you for coming to see Tea Rat dance!!!! I really appreciate your visit! Just having some silly fun with animating my work.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous week of creativity....I am sucking out as much from life as I can before I go back to teaching in 3 weeks!!!! Anita
Hi Mary Lou ~ I LOVE LOVE LOVE the little wedding birds and wanted to leave a comment, but something is amiss with Blogger on your post...thought I'd leave a comment here to let you know.
ReplyDeleteOMG, those wedding birds are the cutest and I LOVE your version of them so much!!! xo
