SarahBen2011's Dreams PV Planning Thread with PICS!

[SarahBen2011]

***UPDATE***

 

So I had forgotten to post a few things and wanted to give some more details.

 

Here's our ceremony script - I pulled a lot of ideas from everything I saw on here (thanks again ladies!)

 

 

 

Here are the important songs for ceremony and reception:

 

Processional - Over the Rainbow by Israel Zamakawiwole

Flower Girl / Ring Bearer - You're So Cool by Dan Head

Bride’s Processional - Canon in D by Jean-Francois Pillard

Recessional – Making my Dreams by Hall & Oates

Reception Entrance – Marry You by Bruno Mars

First Dance – My First My Last My Everything by Barry White

Father Daughter – Daughter by Loudon Wainwright

Mother Son – Have I Told You Lately by Rod Stewart

Cake Cutting - I Can't Help Myself by The Four Tops

 

Our guest book from Etsy seller LazyLightningArt  (cost $40 plus shipping).  This should come in by Monday - I can't wait to see it in person!  It'll have our names and wedding date instead of Guests and the flowers will be Ivory.

 

 

And I ordered this pen that goes with it but from a different seller :-) $13 from braggingbags  

 

 

We ordered Handkerchiefs for each parent from Etsy seller designsbyGloria - they turned out really pretty, but you can kind of tell they were machine stitched.  They were a great deal though (6 for $74 with shipping).  We're planning on giving them photo books after the wedding but wanted them to have something to open the night of the rehearsal.

 

 

 

 

We got Ben's wedding band! It's titanium (he wanted something really light weight).  It's a hammered design and looks reallllly nice in person!  It was about $150 from a jewelry shop in Chicago, but it's from this company:  http://www.fablejewelry.com/

 

 

And I finally started the programs - for some reason it was hard to take a picture w/o a glare.  I'll do a separate post on how to DIY these.

 

And just for fun - a picture from my shower that was held in August and my Bach party that was a few weeks ago :-)  The white dress for the shower I got on sale at Macy's (it's BCBG).  They made me wear white to my Bach party (all the girls wore purple), I already had this white dress so I just wore that.

 

 

Watching the video of Ben answering questions about us :-)

 

Okay... I think that's it now LOL
