The Count down is on....6 months until Baby Boy gets married!
The "Save The Date" cards are out, and I am full speed ahead
My son and his fiance live in DC but, both are Florida kids and the wedding will be here in Orlando Thanksgiving weekend
And a dream come true......A vintage themed wedding...Could it get any better!
I've been recruited to make tussie mussies for the aisle, escort cards, mirror trays for the centerpieces, and table numbers
I've already made the bridal bouquet
And bridesmaids bouquets
The rehearsal dinner will be around the corner from my house at a cute little outside cafe "903 Mills Market". This is special place for the couple. They spent many hours here......."Getting to know you", since the future DIL lived a block away from me when they met.
It'll be a fun, casual dinner....Vintage Themed of course! I'll be able to show you some of what I am doing for the decor, but since the "Kids" read my blog, some pictures will have to wait until after the wedding, since I want it to be a surprise.
So, who doesn't like a wedding blog....Right?
Don't worry, I still have to keep my antiques booth full, so there will be plenty of regular posts!
I'm having so much fun
Happy Creating!
Carol

I just started following you yesterday! I got married last November and had a slight vintage theme to my wedding too. You are going a LOT more vintage than I did, but I'm excited to see everything you come up with!
I love reading about your antique finds! I'm hoping to start up a small booth myself soon. Still considering it and waiting to talk to the owners of a local antique mall - they're out of town until tomorrow.
Keep up the great posts!!
I am doing the last minute touches to our daughter's wedding....10 days to go! I am ready tho...
Your bouquets are beautiful!
Reading this first post about the wedding it can be seen how excited you are. And I am pretty sure you will do an excellent job, you are so creative and all your things are always so, so beautiful and unique!!! Have fun creating and let us have some glimpse now and then to enjoy!!!

Your ideas are so terrific! Happy planning!
How did you do the bridal bouquet? I'd love to make one to use for my table at the local wedding show in August and Sept. :) I make bridal clutches and clutches for bridesmaids too, been swinging towards more vintage sorta purses lately. :) If you could email me how to make those, I'd be really grateful!

What a gorgeous bouquet and how exciting for you. Isn't it wonderful to be getting a dil that lets you be a real part of everything? I have one of those, too. Let me tell you- THAT is a blessing- xo Diana
Hi Carol,
Your son is so handsome and your future daughter in law, is very beautiful. I love the "save the date."
The bouquets are beautiful and I like the idea of the get together at the cafe that they love.
I know the wedding is going to be beautiful, because everything you do is beautiful.
I'm so happy for you.

How exciting... Your so included to make mussie tussies, I love making them. Usually I reserve them for Christmas time but what a great opportunity to make them for the big day. Your so blessed Carol.
Congrats to the Bride, Groom and the Mom of the son.
Hugs,
Cindy
I think I've told you that I'm the world's greatest wedding groupie. I love them and love seeing it all come together from beginning to end. (If I could stow away on a proposal date, I probably would... I'm a hopeless romantic.
I love the bouquets and hope you share as many tidbits leading up to the big day as you can.
I guess you better warn the couple they have a stalker.
How fun is that...... a vintage wedding and you get to create for it. Should be fantastic with your extra touch.
~Bliss~
Oh, what a wonderful and special happening coming up for your family! Oh Carol, your son is just so handsome, wow! His bride to be is just beatiful too. I'm sure their wedding will be amazing and what you've done already is just exquisite! Have fun with all the details, you'll make them perfect!
Oh Carol!!!!! Your boy is so handsome! ;D What a strapping groom he'll be! I wish them all happiness and a vintage wedding! Could you hope for more?! :) Have fun dearie! Your crafts are just... WOW!
Hugs,
It looks like it'll be a beautiful wedding. I hope you plan to hire a good photographer and post lots of pictures. I've been tied up editing a large wedding for the past several days. I should some day post images to my Artistic Images blog... but editing and album building must come first. I've been toooooo busy to keep regular posts lately.
Oh Carol! What fun! Your son and future DIL are gorgeous! This is so exciting and romantic watching this unfold! You must be on cloud nine!!! So far, what you've created is perfect and lovely!

Gosh, it is going to be so much fun! I am happy for the couple and you, too!

Love the "Save the Date " cards. And you are so right, "who doesn't love a wedding blog!" XoXo
How cute!!! :D I know that you are so happy, and the theme is making you extra happy!!!
Oh, Carol, you are in for the time of your life. Nothing more exciting than a wedding. Our anniversary is November 29 and we were married the day after Thanksgiving. I consider that a good luck weekend to get married.
What an exciting time for you and your family. It is so wonderful that future DIL has asked you to take such an active part. That is not always the case.
She had the good taste to realize what an asset you are.
I can't wait to see what all you are doing. The bridal and maids bouquets are exquisite. The fabulous thing is they are permanent and will be something the grands can see.
Bob and I are celebrating our 54th anniversary today. We have celebrated quietly today, lot of reminiscing. We then went out to dinner and now we are waiting to watch Nic Wallenda walk across Niagara Falls. We party BIG! LOL.
Enjoy this special time.
Hugs, Ginger
Carol
Congrats to the happy couple!
They are so attractive together and look so in love.
I know you will be having a blast helping with all the arrangements.
I'll be following along so I don't miss a single thing!
I used to want to be a wedding coordinator--so I will so enjoy your wedding posts! Love everything you have made so far. You son and future daughter in law are a very attractive couple. Congrats to all of you!
Hi Carol,
I love the save the date cards. Your son and soon to be DIL are adorable. The themed wedding plans are so cool. I look forward to your posts.
Dee
P.S. Beautiful bouquets!
How exciting for you! Looking forward to the lovely post-wedding photos!
Carol, How fun! They are a very cute couple! That boquet is gorgeous! What a lucky DIL to have such a talented MIL! Traci
You're going to have so much fun with this wedding, won't you!!!
Oh Carol...your wedding creations are gorgeous...but then I knew they would be! And what a cutie Bradley is!! And a precious couple! Have fun!
I've got to get back to Adjectives next week and pick up my shelf!! Can't wait to have it home!
Hugs,
Becky
It will be fabulous Carol. I can't wait to see all of the photos!!!
You will surely make this a memorable and wonderful occasion. I'll bet you are enjoying every minute of creating all those special touches.
A Vintage Theme Wedding will be so Romantic and Nostalgic... I can hardly wait to see the Images you'll Share! Congratulations to you and your Handsome Young Son & his Fiance'.

Hi Carol,
Oh what a beautiful couple your kids are. Love what you have created already. Just gorgeous and I know the other vintage themed treasures for the wedding will be divine too.
It is easy to see you are having a great time. It will be here before you know it.
Have a good week.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
I have never seen 'save the date' cards before. That is a really good idea. It's fantastic that you get to create all those things for the wedding.
