The best day of our lives

 

No words can describe how we felt when we saw our healthy baby boy for the first time. I think this picture says it all!

 

 

Welcome to the world Cruize Nicholas Cordova. Daddy and momma love you so much.

Maternity Shoot

 

A friend of mine was trying to build her portfolio and she asked me if i'd be a model for a maternity shoot. This was so much fun to do. I loved showing off my baby bump.

Candy bags

 

Yahhh I found a picture of our candy bags. I bought avery stickers from Staples. You'll have to go to their website to download the template. The directions are written on the box if you get confused. I printed the labels on my basic $40 inkjet printer. I'm not sure if you can read what it says. It says:

 

 Love is SWEET

Take a TREAT

 

Thank you for being apart of our special day!

I really like how these turned out!

 

Cupcakes are the new wedding cake

 

I'm sure you can tell by now I like to be a little different. I didn't want a traditional wedding so of course we couldn't have a traditional cake. We decided to have cupcakes instead. We did have a little cake topper for us to cut. I told my husband no cake fight. He didn't listen as you can see :) haha.

 

You can't see them in these pictures but I did DIY cupcake wrappers. They were super easy to make but very time consuming. Off Beat Bride has the tutorial I used to make mine. Check it out!

 

 

 

 

 

Chandelier LOVE

 

When we finally decided our wedding was going to have a vintage theme I envisioned a chandelier hanging above the alter. I got my wish :). We also bought a huge chandelier that was hung above our table. Aren't they beautiful?

 

 

 

I ordered the small chandelier off of Amazon for ($45)
I ordered the big one  from Wake Up Frankie for($145)


Love is sweet take a treat

 

 

It would have been perfect to give out golf balls and t's as our party favor since we got married at a golf course but that just wasn't our style. We both LOVE sweets so we decided to have a candy bar. It was a hit especially with the kiddos. 

I got all of the candy from Sweeties. I saved a few bucks going local as opposed to online. Sweeties actually had better deals and more of the color options I was looking for anyway. All of the candy  I chose was white, black, grey, and silver. I bought black shiny coffee bags online. I also bought cirular sticker labels (from Staples) and rectangular place card labels that had silver trim (from Joanns).  I printed the same saying it says in the frame below onto the circular labels and stuck them to the coffee bags.  Then I printed the name of each candy on the place card labels.

 

 I thought a candy bar would be a cheap party favor. HA! Boy was I wrong. After the wedding I added it all up and we spent around $550  on vases ($100 at Wal-Mart), candy ($350), candy scoops ($50), bags, and labels ($50). Well you only get married once, right. It was $$$ well spent.

A friend of mine bought me this hanger for my bridal shower. This has got to be one of most thoughfu gifts ever. I love it!
