For our wedding not only was I on a budget but i wanted to add an element of eco-friendliness. The wedding reception was outdoors and I knew I needed more lighting. I thought of tea light candles in recycled baby food jars. We cleaned the jars and wrapped a natural berry twig around the rims as well as a wire for the handle. They turned out lovely and added a mystical feel to the ambiance.
Another cool idea i had was recycling old wine bottles to use as part of the tables center piece. Our wedding was a very rustic wedding in the fall, so we added sunflowers and greenery to the bottles as well as some sand to weigh the bottles down so they wouldn't fall over. They turned out to be very cool and a very inexpensive way to decorate the table centers. Also in the table center piece we antiqued clay pots and added moss and planting bulbs as the guest favors. Everybody loved them.

monique lhuillier wedding dress
The moment I found my monique lhuillier dress I knew it was the one. She was the first one I tried on and nothing compared to the fit, feel, color, alencon lace, and the over all vintage appeal of the dress. I was in LOVE♥ I've recently been itching to get her out of the box and put her on for a photo shoot. Im sure it'll happen very soon.
