Peacock themed weddings;


I have gotten so many requests for peacock themed roses. Is Peacock 2010's biggest theme? Just look at all the stuff I found for an amazing Peacock inspired wedding....
***OK ok I had to start with one bouquet that I made its peacock inspired because of the colors I used not the feathers I wanted to use peacock feathers but I went with a different approach you dont want to go over board with peacock feathers on your wedding day you want the peacock to stand out on the most unique things! Just like the stuff I found...

This royal lovebird pair is ready for their big day! The 18" groom might be displaying his gorgeous tail but his 8" bride, not to be outdone, is adorned with glittered wing feathers and plume atop her regal head, and a detailed silver and "diamond" necklace.

This exquisite peacock pair would look beautiful on top of a peacock themed wedding cake or perhaps on a beautiful gilded cage at the reception.

Isn't this just a beautiful idea?
You can find these precious peacock birds at www.Ivyndell.etsy.com




Two gorgeous custom hand painted champagne flutes for your wedding. These elegantly tall glasses are stunning and are a true pleasure to hold. Wait till you hear the crisp, high pitched [DING!] of the glasses toasting together. You've never seen champagne flutes like these before.

Introducing The Peacock: my design of brightly colored, intricately detailed feathers. Each line is individually painted with your custom wedding colors to create a beautiful, organic design that flutters around the glass.

These particular toasting flutes have sea green, dark emerald green, royal blue, sky blue, plum purple, peacock purple and vibrant metallic gold. But all color are customizable.

Gorgeous!!! You can find these unique toasting glasses at:

The pocket mirror is 3.5" in diameter which is the perfect size to see your whole face. Great addition to your make-up bag or purse. It is also a great gift item.

Each pocket mirror comes packaged as seen in picture with a turquoise velour pouch (to use when storing in your purse or make-up bag) and protective box.

Blushing Bride vs Budget Bride


Every Blushing bride wants a fairytale wedding but how when your on a budget? There are so many articles and magazines and news broadcasts telling you how to save money but they are not much help.I will tell you how to have a dream wedding at a fraction of the cost!

Tips:

If your getting married around june look at prom dresses for your wedding gown and bridesmaids dresses they are gorgeous and after may they are on clearance!
If you pick a white dress that was a prom dress (like I did) take it to a seamstress pay about 40.00 and have them add special touches like a corset back it will make a huge difference no one will know it was a prom dress trust me!

Use WOOD ROSES instead of REAL ones you'll be greatful you did flowers and roses for your wedding get so expensive and they will die before your even on your honeymoon! Wood Roses can be customized to have the bride and grooms picture on them or the bride and grooms name and wedding date printed on them these are beautiful gifts to give to your guests to cherish your wedding day and these will not die!
I make wood roses and customize at the fraction of what the real roses will cost you! They come in any color and trust me your guests will remember your wedding forever. I can even print your guests names on the roses and wrap them around their glasses as place settings so they know what table they are seated at.
a blushing bride package with CND DESIGN costs 300.00 and includes over 3000 roses
INCLUDES:
2 brides bouquets
4 bridesmaids bouquets
1 maid of honor bouquet
6 boutineers
4 hanging rose balls to hang from the reception hall ceiling
50 single printed roses with the bride and grooms names and wedding date
100 single roses printed with the guests names on them as place settings
10 table center pieces
50 chair back decorations
there are different packages avail. check out www.lylalve.etsy.com




Cake:
when it comes to your cake depending on the size of your guests it might be cheaper to get a small layered cake surrounded by mini wedding cakes they are beautiful and a different touch to the tradition cake. Each guest will love there own mini wedding cake.
