Target Wedding??

In the days of being super budget conscious I decided to see if I could outfit a wedding at Target. I think I did pretty well. Please note that the wedding gown was not from Target (they had nice white dresses, just not ones I liked) So I found that at Davids Bridal for $99. Otherwise all things can be found at Target! I know this doesn't cover a cake or pictures, but if you are being really really budget friendly you can bake a cake with the mix, frosting and pans from Target. And you can take your own pictures with a camera found a Target AND develop them there!

Here is one more tip to help you save money. You can sign up with Ebates and get $5 for signing up, plus 4% cash back on your purchase through Ebates - from Target! Plus get free shipping if you spend over $50. How can you beat that?

So without further ado... a wedding purchased through Target!

Disney Inspired II

Okay, here's a different kind of Disney inspired theme. See what you think...

Disney Inspired

In getting ready for my trip to Disneyland, I started thinking about Disney inspired wedding themes. This is the one that I have come up with. I may even try some other Disney theme ideas?? I love taking something and turning it into a wedding insperation. This one is great because it has the feel of Disney without the actual commercial quality of it.

Shoes, Gown & Dress, Flowers, Tree, Tie & Cufflinks, Floral Centerpiece, Necklace

Pink Pocket Wedding Invites

So, most of you know how much I love pink, which is one of the reasons I love this invite! I love the concept of the pockets on wedding invitations, this is a great example of what I mean. These are available on Etsy, by the very talented Sarah Stahl - an amazing resource for anyone planning an event!

Flourish Friday

So have you been smiling? Have you been training your brain? If so I would like to bet that you are starting to see some difference in who you are and how you think. If you have had a hard time getting started lets try something different today. In order to succeed at anything you have to "set yourself up" to succeed. The same is true when you are trying to succeed at being a better you! So what does that look like...?

First of all, I ask you to think about what kind of music you are listening to during the day. If you are constantly listening to sad, depressing songs, chances are you are going to be sad and depressed. The same is true of angry music.Or, if you are trying to get over someone that has broken your heart or that you shouldn't be with, it is probably best to steer clear of sappy love songs. I'm sure you get the point. :)

Television and movies are probably the biggest disasters when it comes to trying to better yourself. Whatever you watch on t.v. you are inviting into your home, your living room, your mind. Try thinking twice on whether or not the images being displayed or the dialog being discussed is what you want as a part of you forever. I know the saying is "Garbage In-Garbage OUT", however I would like to state that as unfortunate as that is, the bigger deal to me is that the garbage that goes in, never really goes out. If you've ever watched a scary movie you know what I mean. You can have those images popping up at random times years later. Proving that it is in there, effecting who you are.

Now here is a touchy one... Let's reevaluate who you spend time with. It is absolutely impossible to spend any amount of time with someone and have them NOT impact you. I know you know what I'm talking about. We can all name someone (maybe even ourselves if we're being honest) who are totally different around certain people. We automatically adapt ourselves to the situation. So I would like to argue that who you spend your time with is detrimental in becoming who you want to be. Do you want to be more positive? Surround yourself with positive people. Do you want to be successful? Surround yourself with successful people. I am not saying that you need to become these people. Just let them rub off on you a little. Then take that and turn it into the best YOU possible!

SET YOURSELF UP TO SUCCEED! SET YOURSELF UP TO SUCCEED! SET YOURSELF UP TO SUCCEED!

Strawberry Theme Insperation Board

This inspiration board was inspired by a wonderful friend of mine. She will getting married soon, and while trying to come up with a feel for the wedding she mentioned how much she loves strawberries. I started thinking about red for a summer wedding... I was afraid that it couldn't be done at a garden wedding because it was too formal. Better for the colder months. Well, I think I proved myself wrong! I found that if you remove black from the wedding decor it is the perfect pallet for a summer garden wedding. I would also put the men in khaki pants with maybe red suspenders... not sure. Enjoy!
