parasols make such cute pictures! I can't wait for ours to come in! :)

Fun Details

Look at what I purchased today...

The one with the black flourish design (kinda damask-like, huh??) is for me (and Mark!) and the pale aqua and white ones are for the bridesmaids. 

I ordered the parasols so that we could take adorable pictures like these...

oh....and to shield us from the sun too, of course! :)

Maybe I'm a little ahead of myself, but I really LOVE this cake

So there are probably a million other things that I need to be picking out right now, but I came across this cake somewhere (I really can't remember where! BUT...I'm going to try to keep better track of where I find my images - promise!) and I absolutely LOVE it! It's perfect...the only things i would alter....
- the robin's egg blue ribbon would be AQUA
- the brown would be BLACK
- and I'd like some kind of cake topper...most likely some pretty ivory flowers

I was originally thinking that i wanted a different shape, like possibly an octagon - but I really love the way this traditional round looks...it's symmetry is perfect!

Damask Table Runners

There's a great post on the wedding bee website from miss sundae about making damask table runners. I think I'm going to go this route. I love the pattern of the fabric - the large damask print. I think it's a perfect balance of black and white. I'm thinking that I'll put these runners over black table linens. Then I'll bring in the aqua with chair ties (on the white gladiator chairs) candle votives, and either aqua tent lighting OR draping the tent in aqua fabric.

Anyway....check out this link from wedding bee about the damask table runners:
