Pink sort of made it's way into this wedding board without my really meaning for that to happen, but I do think this pale blush pink is lovely. It actually makes me think more of playing dress up than it does of a wedding...
One way to save is by choosing a venue that is all-inclusive. Many hotel ballrooms and banquet halls offer this option, but so do other venues - like the incredibly dramatic Balboa Park in San Diego, which served as the inspiration for this citrus wedding board. Citrus fruits were the other point of inspiration for today's board, although fruit can be a great decorative option any time of year: persimmons and pomegranates (or citrus!) for winter, blueberries or apricots in spring, berries and peaches in summer, or apples and pears in fall.
Who says...you have to have floral centerpieces?
Mood: warm elegance Palette: orange, yellow, green
The Paper: To give your guests a sense of the citrus theme, use an old orange crate label as your inspiration - check out these labels for a customizable template. If you want to add a little extra something to your invitations, get some friends and some movies and spend an evening (or a few) making envelope liners. It can be tedious, but it's one of those elements that you can take on yourself to save some money - you can find an envelope liner template kit from Paper Source for $9.50.
The Fashion: For something borrowed, wear the veil of a friend, sister, aunt... My sister borrowed a mantilla veil from a family friend to wear at her wedding and looked beautiful. For a customized dress, head to Olivia Luca's online boutique to create your own for as little as $300. Or, take a note from Julia and order a cream colored bridesmaid dress from Siri.
The Decor: Seasonal fruit is a great way to save - just think how cheap a crate of oranges or clementines are in season! Fill bowls with fruit for centerpieces, including stems and leaves if you can. Go for a single large bowl in the center of a round table or a row of smaller bowls along a banquet table - check Jamali Garden or Cost Plus World Market for interesting containers. Hang citrus colored lanterns from trees for a lot of impact at a low cost. Also, by choosing an incredible venue (like Balboa Park in this board), you really won't have to do much decorating to pull of a dramatic look.
The Flowers: A bouquet in fiery shades of orange will look beautiful with the rest of your citrus decor. And to fit with the theme, how about boutonnieres of kumquats and a fragrant orange blossom?
The Food: Elevate simple foods like potato chips by serving them as late-night snacks in parchment paper cones, or a single clementine wrapped in parchment paper at each seat. Save by asking your baker to create a simple chocolate cake, and decorate it yourself with candied citrus fruits.
Other Details: Instead of paying for a bouquet for each bridesmaid, have them carry a fan or parasol down the aisle - it's an unexpected look and can cost under $2 for a fan, or under $10 for a paper parasol. Another way to save is by choosing a venue where everything is included - tables and chairs, catering, cake, event coordination. While you might not have quite as many choices, it can definitely help keep costs down.
Splurges: Rent a classic car to make your getaway - it's not a necessary element, but if you save elsewhere, it can be a fun detail, and definitely a great photo-op (especially if you decorate it with painted cans or pom pom garlands.
For Free: Customize your vows! You don't necessarily have to re-invent the wheel, but you can use a traditional format to add your own personal touch. For some tips, check out Alison Hotchkiss' guest post from this summer.
Don't you just love how couple Samantha & Kevin used their monogram parasols to flank their aisle? Super creative and so pretty. This couple was married on October 4, 2008 at their home in Merced, California. Thank you Samantha & Kevin for sharing these beautiful photos with us!
A Note from Samantha:"I loved our monogram parasols and when we were finished with the ceremony we placed them near the guest book table with flowers and candles that glowed into the evening. They were elegant and beautiful!"

Title: Molly Picon in The Wedding Scene from Yidl Mitn Fidl 1936 Yiddish film
from the 1936 Yiddish film YIDL MITN FIDL.
This was filmed once again in Kazimierz, Poland, using local inhabitants as extras. It took over thirty consecutive hours to film, and the food had to be kosher of course as the locals used were all Orthodox Jews. As the filming went on, they ate, and for the successive shots of the table the food had to be replenished. The poverty stricken guests just couldn't understand what was happening, as they thought they had been invited to a real wedding. When one woman asked why so much food they explained that it wasn't a real wedding - only a film. It is possible she had never seen a film, for she said: "Why didn't you tell me that before? With so much food, I could have brought my daughter to get married for real. She has a chassen (bridegroom) but we have no money for a dowry to make a proper wedding." Molly suspected her husband (Jacob Kalich) may have given the woman the money, as later she smiled at Picon and said "Are you lucky to have such a rich husband."
It's a sobering thought to think what would have happened to these people only a few short years later.
I brought my family to the airport yesterday and dropped them off. It was so hard to say goodbye to them (I did get teary when I hugged my mom and she totally lost it haha) I couldn't have asked for a better week. What a great way to stagger up the time of Kyle's deployment with a nice visit from my family (combined with a week off of work!)
They made it back to Little Rhody safe and sound (after a 2 hour delay ouch!) and my father-in-law picked them up and gave them a lift home. My mom still hasn't fully recovered from her sinus infection but being home will give her some time to recover fully.
So it's back home with them and back to work for me. I had today to do laundry and clean up the apartment and just relax. Days that are hard to come by especially now that my job is changing. I'm back to the unit tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will only be on the floor for two more pay periods (about a month) then I will be out and down in the ED. I still need to interview with the manager down there. I am hoping there will be an e-mail from her when I go into work tomorrow.

I think we've established that I have a weakness for any decor item with words/typography. Also, I think we've established that I am a bit of a babbler. My childhood nickname (bestowed by my mother) was Ambler-Rambler, so don't I need these blankets by Donna Wilson?
The company is based in England, but her items are available in the U.S.:

Title: Lady Sovereign - Blah Blah
Lyrics... I think?
I see your first priorities are discussing me in Maccy D's at about half three,
While you're munching on your quarter-pounder with cheese,
Chatting about me and my abilities,
Like S-O-V you're Shit, S-O-V can't spit, S-O-V just quit,
Ahh, whatever don't talk with your mouth full bitch,
While your discussing me its all publicity,
Even if you're cussing me you're still dashing my name around the city,
it's all good though, publicity for free,
White midget, uh huh mic fidget,
Somebody just dialed my digit,
S-O-V you're no one, hmm is it?
Flattered by the way you use your credit,
you fed it and you said it that I'm nobody,
If I'm nobody then why are you ringing me?
You drained your credit that's killing it,
Well my style you sure you aren't feeling it?
[Chorus]
Blah, blah, blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah in one ear and it comes straight out the other
Repeating yourself like you got a stutter with all you mutter like reh reh reh reh rah
Blah, blah, blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah all your words in my brain are turning into clutter
Repeating yourself like you got a stutter with all you mutter like reh reh reh reh rah
People wanna classify me as an Eminem, but hear what I'm a different kinda specimen,
Just because I be a white caucasian, doesn't mean me and him are the same
Because one I'm not American 2 I'm not a man
3 I'm coming through with a different kinda plan,
Setting the facts straight cause I know that I can
Purely heavyweight cause I do the whole shebang. Categories I don't fit into any, I'm on so many styles I'm on many,
Writing up more lines than burberry and dealing with beats like a victim of a bully.
Make you drink my saliva off the floor the spit I pat when I walked in the door released my metaphor. like cor blimey its
That white girl S-O-V!
[Chorus]
I know you don't boast about me over your Sunday roast or mid-morning cheese on toast.
But when I find out you've been talking you start squawking
S-O-V I never said that,
S-O-V you know you ain't wack,
S-O-V I love your track,
What the fuck do you want bitch a pat on the back,
A blahbarian equals a soon to be beg-friend,
Cause a beg-friend is an ex-blahbarian,
And they only start caring.
When you're preparing a next big riddim that every deck is blaring.
"oh fuck" I got posh people swearing,
The rich, the poor, the snobs the whores,
Oh dear blahbarians galore!
[Chorus]

Title: Take a Break (Original Song)- Joseph Vincent
http://www.myspace.com/josephvincentmusic
so this is an original song i wrote around last summer:)
LYRICS
Verse 1:
You wake up in the moring and you see the sun shining bright
You're hoping that the day goes well and everything is starting off right
And you try to be strong, no nothing can bring you down
You're hiding from the world but sooner or later you'll be found
Chorus:
Cause everything might seem so bad
to loose the things that you once had
Loose the frown let's see a smile
and just relax a little while
Don't be down girl raise your head instead
Verse"
You're driving 'round for hours and you almost can't handle the stress
You always keep on going cause you're never going to settle for less
And you try to be strong you do it for your sake
So stop all the work and stop all the pressure, and take a break
