If I Could Redo - [Flowers]

On Thursday I began a mini series on what I would change if I could redo my wedding with the help of Pinterest. I wasn't one of those lucky bride-to-be who had the help of Pinterest, so I currently have a board specifically for ideas if I could redo it! 

In part one I talked about attire, and today it is all about the flowers!

Part 2: Flowers

Real Life

Since I enjoy being different and not doing what everyone else does, I decided at the very beginning of the wedding process that I wanted everything to be feathers instead of flowers. Our bouquets would be feathers, the centerpieces would be feathers, and our flower girl would be a feather girl and throw feathers! 

We worked with Geri from Ardesign {who we found on Etsy} to come up with the perfect design, and I was so thrilled with how they came out! 

What I love most is their uniqueness, but also that I am still able to have mine at home in a pretty little vase that I'll be able to keep forever!

If I could redo I would love to have flowers that were unique and different like the ones above. I would have a bunch of different flowers in a wide variety of colors. My colors for my wedding were fuchsia and black with the pattern damask, but if I could redo I would I have multiple shades in the same color family. All three of these bouquets are absolutely gorgeous! 

I love how they use their greenery in the bouquets and succulents are SO popular on Pinterest right now! 

Do we have any of the same tastes? Feathers or flowers? 

Nail Files [9]

I don't know about you guys, but this week I have been trying to usher in fall to the extreme! I'm talking scarf wearing, boot wearing, fall nail color. . . 

You get the picture.

Case in point.

Thanks Windmillion by OPI.

Have you switched over to the fall nail colors yet?

If I Could Redo - [Attire]

 I always ask myself, self why wasn't pinterest around and popular prior to having my wedding? When planning my wedding I used a wedding site called The Wedding Bee, which was more like a chat forum site where you could share ideas that way. 

It was nothing like what Pinterest has become today. 

I figured since this weekend I'm helping coordinate one of my college roommates weddings and since I'm writing a guest post next week for the lovely Miss Jax, that this would be a good time to start a mini series of what I would do if I could redo my wedding with the help of Pinterest!

I have come across so many beautiful wedding day attire ideas on Pinterest, so this was really hard to pick what I would wear if I could redo. I love the dress because it's different and oh so lovely, and those Jimmy Choo's are to die for! Plus I've been obsessed lately with the mint and gold color combo together {can't you tell with the new blog design} so those earrings would be perfect. Another bonus is I could get a lot of wear from the earrings after the fact because they don't scream wedding. 



Are you married and still have a board to pin wedding images to, or am I the only crazy one that does that?
