New Year's event means more partying lol.The venue comes with a decor package,so all that u saw (+ the sparklers) is inclusive.All we have to get are the extras that we really want otherwise all is taken care of.They even do favours + programs!!

Very very nice indeed The colours come out well on that guest book.

l came across these novelty personalized ribbons as well.So maybe yellow and black ribbon on a black favour box? Any suggestions?

Thanx dear.The ceremony is scheduled to start after lunch (2.30pm for 3).so l will probably change after a few pics around 7pm.

Girl, where did you find the shoes on the top of your inspiration board? They are stunning!

l found the inspiration board on katieandryanwedding.wordpress.com (courtesy of VIPrincessBride).l love the bow-tie shoes too but cant find them anywhere!

l plead guilty to being a shoes freak no questions asked!! l have thus decided to have my 'SOMETHING BLUE' as my bridal shoes.(inspired by SWEETP's coloured shoes idea).Here are a few ideas...





Another idea is to have the BM sign my shoes in blue ink.



Or be a DIY diva and stick blue rhinestones on the shoe soles.



pretty shoes

I am loving what I'm seeing so far Lolo, but just one word of advice, remember that you will be on those shoes all night long, you want something comfy so you could party the night away as well. I love the something blue in the shoe idea. Keep it up!!!

Love the blue rhinestones on sole of shoe idea and I really like the signatures at bottom of shoe. That makes a really cute keepsake.


Lolo I think your favor idea of the black boxes with yellow ribbon is nice. How about doing a layered ribbon look. I'm thinking white ribbon size 5/8 against the black box and a 3/8 yellow ribbon personalized with black writing on top of the white ribbon. What do you think?

l can visualize it lol and that incorporates the whole colour scheme. Me like me like. What size favour box do u suggest? This sounds like another great DIY project added to the list!

The shoes are fabulous. I love that Idea!!!!! You are on a roll! Keep the ideas and details coming...I need all the inspiration I can get.

LoLo, I love the idea of the blue. I wouldn't know if to do the rhinestones or the signatures on the bottob... SHOOTS... just do both of them. That would be a wonderful keepsake.

Lolo, those first blue shoes are especially gorgeous. Great idea!

It might be hard to find but you might be able to find something blue and yellow like these:



These aren't blue but if you went with a guest book similar to the one above, imagine how cute a pic would be of you holding guest book while wearing these:

l was gonna have the ushers from church wear their usual uniforms,but imagine those 2nd shoes with a black dress?

cmt l too cant decide!! probably have it all - blue shoes with the signatures + the rhinestones lol (sounding like a bridezilla who wants it all lol)

I was thinking of having blue shoes as my "something blue" - have a look at these:













Hope the pictures came out!!

Diamondbride that first pair you posted is really cute. Especially if you're not trying to have too much blue.

Lolo the pair with the bow in the back and yellow undertones would look cute. As far as your ushers, those white, black, yellow shoes I posted would look cute with a black dress. I'm just not sure how comfortable they would be for some one with usher duties.

These favor boxes are 2x2x2 and they are $34.99 for a pack of 100 on efavormart.com :


These favor boxes are cute also. The top cut-outs matchs the style of your inspiration board.


These were $25.99 for a pack of 100. Or you could even do something like these black and white polka dot boxes with a plain yellow ribbon.

You go Lolo

Wow I am so impressed with your pace- You really are completely organised!!! I tried to find out about those yellow shoes and read somewhere that they are from valentino's spring 08 collection!!http://perfectbound.blogspot.com/2007/10/take-bow.html



I am loving everything- from the Dresses all the way down to the favor boxes...what are you doing for actual favors??

Diamond I absolutely adore shoes 1 2 and 4
they remind me of Carries engagement shoes in SATC- a girl loves her manolos


I am doing the same thing- But I want to do something pink or gold to go with my theme

DiamondBride shoe #5 with the bow-tie wow Va Va Voom

l like pamcrow's idea of favour boxes with the 2 different sizes of ribbon. The catering package includes dessert (whether u decide to have it or not the price is the same).Therefore our favour will just be a slice of cake since the guests would have had dessert for dinner.

whilst flipping thru cakes l came across this Asian inspired/themed cake. The 2 cakes (gardens) represent 2 lives joined together by a bridge. l would love to modify it to suit our wedding theme and colours.

Lolo you have exquisite taste! I love the idea of changing the Asian themed cake to your own theme and colors! Everything is just beautiful!

Thank u Rhon

I love your cake inspiration!!! I even love the Asian them. Here are some more cake inspiration I saw.
