I haven't really posted anything on here, but I've been watching this group since my MoH pointed it out shortly after the engagement. We got married this Halloween, though we were less themed than most in this group.
Our favors were various Halloween candies they could "trick or treat" from table to table to get. Our flower girl (my new step daughter!!) had on faerie wings, & half way through the reception she & our ring bearer (my new niece!!) changed into Halloween costumes. The florist added a neat touch & put cobwebs on many of our floral arrangements, & the girls dropped silk autumn leaves instead of petals. We encouraged our guests to come in costume, though sadly, only my boss & her husband, & 3 other people besides the kiddos dressed up since we had an afternoon wedding.

My photographer is a very dear friend of mine & absolutely amazing at what she does.
Here's the link to the photos she did for us for anyone interested.

Hope you enjoy!!

So I hired two high school photography students to take my photos. They far exceeded my expectations. I wrote them reference letters and gave them $100 each. If you do not have a massive amount of money to drop on a photographer, like me, you should look into this. They took over 1,000 pictures and gave me 4 disks with more than 700 pictures on them (I asked them to delete ones with bad light, closed eyes, etc.) I only had $1,200 for my whole wedding. This site was an amazing help to me. I made my own invitations and programs. I bought fake flowers when they were 50% off at Michael's and Hobby Lobby and made my own bouquets and boutonnieres. I got my dress and rings on eBay. I got my bridesmaid dresses at Ross for $20 each. I went to a bridal show and got a coupon for $40 off each tux. Do not underestimate the bridal shows, they can provide great discounts. I bought party stuff on eBay, Oriental Trading Co. and Dollar Tree. My maid of honor and I made the food ourselves the day before. I even got my cake at Crest (a local grocery store) for $115. I wouldn't splurge on a really expensive cake unless you want custom flavors or a design that the regular stores can't do. Take a picture to them and ask if they can make your cake. They don't only make the cakes in the book on the counter and they are usually happy to do something different. Here are some of my favorite pictures...

Hey everyone:) Congrats to everyone who tied the knot this halloween. I keep seeing such lovely pictures.

For those of you having you wedding next year or later on, I have perhaps a dress for you:)
I just finished showing my Fall line "Elegant Blood" Victorian, Vampire inspired designs, and I am here to share our discounted wedding dress from the collection. It is normally $1200 but because it has appeared in two fashion shows it is discounted to $1050. Its white silk dupioni with a corseted top and hand applied beads. Also I am offering free shipping until Dec 17th:)

Go to my Etsy page if interested and I am offering this as a custom piece on my site in white, red and black silk dupioni.

Ok, so my photos thus far consist of about 10 that one of my friends took and posted online. Once I get to my parents' house in two weeks, I will get my disposables developed, and hopefully have something fom my photographer! I really really want to see more, but here are a few of the few that are sustaining me...

So it's a little late for me seeing how I got married on Halloween of this year, but I found this Myspace a few minutes ago and had to share for anyone who might be getting hitched next halloween:

myspace.com/corpsecakeconfections




The best thing is the specialize in vegan and non-vegan cupcakes...

Ok I thought they were adorable and had to share!!

While waiting for more pics from our photographer, and until we leave for our honeymoon (Wednesday can't come fast enough!) I've been working on these:




They are pics of our guests from our disposable cameras edited using Photoshop and Picnik.com. I want to print them onto cards with our thank you message inside, or mount the photos inside the thank you card with photo corners or something. Do you think this is too much? I know it's not at all traditional...but who among us is ;)?

Thanks sooo much to all of your lovely comments for my last post. I just recieved a sneak preview of our professional shots and thought I'd let this community be the first to see them ;)
Our photographer truly is astounding...
I was blown away with these..
