Here's some things I've been working on.

Centerpieces - well part of the table decoration (We're doing half the tables with the tall ones and half with the short ones. I think I'm going to put green cloth under the centerpieces and then I'm going to put 5-6 votive candles in glass votive holders in a circle around the centerpiece & then scatter orange rose petals.

Kissing Bells - tag says "Today as we gather, wish us a love to last a lifetime. If you would like us to share a wedded kiss, ring the bell for life long bliss".

I need to get some more blue paper and then I'll be ready to start making invites! I think that is my last big project to do....other than finishing up the kissing bells...oh and my card box which is 1/2 finished but no pics yet.

Everything looks good?

Can I ask - how did you DIY the candle? Is that a clear label on the candle?

I just printed our monogram on vellum and my FH cut it (I can't cut straight to save my life) and I just pinned the vellum & ribbon in the back with straight pins. I didn't get a pic but I even put swarovski crystals on the heads of all the pins so even the back is decorated. :)

Everything looks great! I really like your color combination. Your save the dates look quite similar to ours, same color and size card and same poem. I thought that was cool. :)

I stole the poem from you! :bbredface: I hope you don't mind! It was just so cute, I couldn't resist!

I had planned on mounting the magnet to the card with just hotel information on it. But then I came across your thread about your magnets and saw the cute poem & had to use it. I wanted folks to know that it was a magnet, just in case they weren't smart enough to figure it out & that poem was perfect.

I don't mind at all. It's actually kinda funny 'cause I stole it from someone else on here, who had stolen it from someone else. And my mom brought hers to work when she got it, and one of the women she works with copied it down for her daughter who's getting married. It's a cute poem.
