Wedding at Sunset

I sat here tonight looking outside at the beautiful sunset and was thinking about how gorgeous it would be to get married outside right at sunset.

Everything could be put outside with a beautiful natural background.

There could be a gazebo placed with the sunset behind it with delicate clothe blowing in the breeze.

Just imagine the possibilities for having an outdoor wedding. You can decorate however you want with as little as you want since there are so many natural decorations that you would have there!

Choosing a Wedding Dress

Are you having a hard time choosing a wedding dress because everything out there is just too expensive. Now days you can get a wedding dress from a dept store and it can still be perfect for your special day. It will also be cheaper!

Both of these dresses are from Nordstrom's and are under $200.

Also, if you have a flower girl and don't want to pay for a dress that is so expensive for something that she is only going to wear once and grow out of really fast, then you can also check out the dept stores. A lot of stores have dresses for 1st communions and other things that would work perfect for a flower girl.

These dresses are from JC Penny and are only $40.

So when you are looking for your wedding dress or flower girl dress remember tha you can always check out a dept store. You could also check out these stores for bridesmaid's dresses as well. The only problem with that is that you won't be able to get all the dresses in the color you are looking for. But otherwise, it is another option! Happy Searching!!

Pea in a Pod Baby Shower

A cute theme for a baby shower is to do the Pea in the Pod. This is the theme used for this shower! Check out how cute everything is and how it was all tied together!

For this baby shower invitations were sent out that had a Pea Pod stamp.

Invitation from Custom Paper Creations

Fo r this baby shower these are the cute decorations that were used. Actual dried peas were put into vases with a candle on top.

Favors were given away, which were placed around the room so they also played as decorations during the shower. Each party guest got their own pot that had pea seeds in it so they could grow their own pea pods. Favor from Custom Paper Creations.

Vases that had pretty pink roses were also used. Here is a pictures of how cute all the decorations looked together!

On the desert table, cupcakes that had colorful frosting were made. The name of the little pea pod on the way was made with candles stuck in the cupcakes.

There are many games that can be played at a baby shower. At this particular shower, people had to guess what kind of baby food there was by tasting and/or smelling the different kinds.

Guests also guessed the size of the mama to be's belly by cutting yarn to the length that they though her belly was around. Not a single guest guessed too small!!!!

The third game that was played was baby price is right. Baby products such as diapers and books, and toys etc. were placed on a table and the guests had to guess how much they thought each of them cost!

There are many cute ideas you could do for a shower. This pea pod themed shower was really cute and fun to tie everything together! The colors that were used were also the colors that the mama to be had chosen for the bedroom for her little pea pod on the way!
