Thrifting Cake Plates

What can you buy for $10 dollars? How 'bout four beautiful cake displays? For the wedding I want to create a pretty dessert table that is reminiscent of a "Road to Avonlea garden bake off." I'll be asking (if any of you are reading) my aunts and cousins and friends to bake something delicious for the dessert table so there is an eclectic collection of goodies after dinner.

Here is what I found:

  1 covered glass pedestal cake display, 2 footed glass plates and 1 DIY cake stand.

(I used my mini loaf pan to make mini banana loafs!
Love it!)

Can you believe I paid $5.00 for this!? 

Like what? Garage Sale find!

Then I scored two of these plates, $2.00 each at separate garage sales too. 

And this weekend, on a quick thrift with my mom at the local Salvation Army in Huntsville, I picked up these two (2) separate pieces to make a taller display. 

See? The base is a glass candle holder that I will glue to the bottom of the glass plate. 

Each piece was... wait for it... 50 cents each! 

So I am quite thrilled with the latest finds all for $10 dollars! I know, I can barely believe it myself. 

{Attire 2} Hers

The four of us maids went on a shopping trip a few weeks back. We found a great dress but two problems: 1) The price 2) more formal than I wanted. But that left us in a pickle. We've all really been trying to think of the best thing to do as all my maids are different sizes, ages and well, one is preggo! So I was at Joe Fresh the other day, which is a line of clothing found in most Loblaws and Superstores. They had some REALLY cute pieces at fantastic prices. Here's what I spied out:

 This is a really cute beige skirt that can be paired with any cute blouse. 

Fun textured skirt!

Pretty frilled sleeveless blouse

Purpley-blue scalloped skirt

Another sleeveless bowed blouse

I'm pretty sure this black skirt is the same one as the beige one. 

Just to give an idea of what it may look like on a person. 

And I'm totally loving this look from Ruche, an adorable online store.

Peachy Pale Pinks and Other Pretties

I don't know how I'm ever going to decide what kind of flowers I want for the bouquets!

I love so many different things.

The first three designs were done by the lovely girls at Poppies and Posies.

Check out their website to see more beautiful work!

I'd love this for our cupcake display!

Wedding Inspiration

There are so many details from this wedding featured on Green Wedding Shoes that I am adoring!

 I like the pretty yet semi-casual look of these bridesmaid outfits.

LOVE the individual bottles with clusters of various flowers. 

Birds and wood and Bells of Ireland. Perfect.

Table Numbers {Inspiration}

Starting to think about the smaller details of everything for the wedding is the fun part! It's narrowing down all the ideas that is hard. But I think I found a great way to display the table numbers that ties into the rustic, natural theme of our outdoor wedding.

I like this simple idea of just folding a patterned piece of paper and adding a number.

Just something a little different.

This is cute, but I don't think really practical.

So this is definatly closer to the style I'm looking for. Really simple and cute. 

But this is what I just feel in love with! Love the mini stump of birch. 

I think my parents have a dead birch branch laying around. 

Just might be perfect!
