Some Great Wedding Ideas

Ok – so I am married, a lot of my friends are married, I have very few weddings coming up in the near future – but I do love them. I love looking at pictures of them, talking about them, dreaming about them. I really should be a wedding coordinator in my next life.

Anyway – some here are some great images / ideas I have come across recently from a ranch wedding in Santa Monica Mountains, LA:

CD wedding favours for the guests – the envelopes are stiched kraft paper with graphics on the front

Run Sheet for guests so they know what is coming

One of the best guest book idea I have ever seen

Home Renovations have commenced

I am finally starting work on our dining room renovation to convert it from a room where I use the dining room table to do craft and walk through to get to the study to a dining room / play room / room we actually want to spend time in.

I have a gyprocker coming Monday to give me a quote to fill in the old door and window and I sanded the cupboards last night so I can put the primer on tonight. So things are finally getting under way.

I am in a bit of a quandary with how to decorate / arrange the room. Things I want in the room are:

1.      Wing chair for reading

2.      Small side table and lamp

3.      Table and chairs for my son

4.      Small dining room table and 4 chairs

5.      Bookshelf for all our books (we have quite a few)

6.      Storage for toys and children’s books

Sounds like a lot doesn’t it. Not quite sure how it can or will work. Anyway I am off to Ikea on Saturday to check out some tables, chairs and bookshelves. In the meantime I have been surfing the net for some inspiration. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
