Yes ladies and gentlemen. My friend Marisa invited me to go with her to the Martha Stewart Show tomorrow dedicated to all bloggers! I'm super excited. I know her and her hubby Ruben from my USC days. I was with him in the world famous TROJAN MARCHING BAND (I was a flag girl, him a section leader for the saxaphones). And with Marisa, I did Ballet Folklorico de USC (Mexican Folkloric dancing..lots o' fun!). Anyhow, they moved to New York, oh about 3 weeks ago for Ruben to pursue his Masters at Columbia! They have a cute blog detailing their adventures so their family back home in LA can share their experience. Check them out!

Anyhow, so back to Martha. Thanks Marisa for the invite and I can't wait to blog LIVE from the amazingly crafty Martha Stewart Show! Weeee! I hope we get lots of free goodies!!

So stay tuned, tomorrow! I will give ya the scoop... LIVE!

We are considering using the above picture as our wedding invitations. This website provides the specialty paper we would use. http://www.envelopemall.com/ or http://www.cardsandpockets.com/ .

We'd get Stardream Metallic PETAL Pochette, and velum envelopes. I have a vision and hopefully I can recreate it! We'll also be embossing it like we embossed our save the dates (which I will talk about in another post). But kind of like the red flourish in this picture from HMM's bio on Project Wedding.I can't wait to get started on these! :)

I can't wait to start on our "Flowerful Initials". I will fill them with silk hydrengeas and tie satin ribbon to the top and maybe hang them at the entrance of our venue. Or maybe behind the sweetheart table (if we do a sweetheart table). This bride has instructions on how she made hers. http://markessaxo.com/ I will be checking it out when the time comes. Yay! :)

Wouldn't it be awesome if our wedding made it to the NY Times wedding announcement section? I think we have a shot! I will submit it and see what happens. First though, we need to take our engagment pictures. Hopefully they will cover it!

A fellow Project Wedding Bride was kind enough to give me a gift certificate to this website.

Oh dear, like I said, EVERYTIME I browse Project Wedding (and Weddingbee for that matter) I ALWAYS fall in love with a new idea. This time, I came across these cute "cake flags" to put on our cake slices as they are being served to our guests. So here's my latest idea which of course I will attempt to DIY (Do it yourself *myself*). They're super cute and on one side it will say "Eat Me" and the other it will say "Marylynn & Will" or something along those lines.

So while browsing Project Wedding I ALWAYS come across awesome and cute idea's that I'd like to incorporate into our wedding. One that I must not forget is when it comes to tables, instead of using numbers, we are going to name them after places we've traveled to together. Since we're having 10 tables, these are the names we've come up with:

Colombia
Bahamas
London
Paris
Mexico
Puerto Rico
Canada
New York
Los Angeles
Miami
