Making a Wonderland


Today we got to help decorate the hall. I say "got to" because it was a privilege to be part of transforming the everyday room into Wonderland. this is where we go down the rabbit hole tomorrow


this is what we started with....


the hat awaits.....


all the chairs were covered and then Barbie made the bows on the backs. She was the only one from the bridal party that made it. Everyone else, including my brother were trapped on the other side of the Ferry waiting for one that wasn't full, I think they had to wait for 3 to go first! Finally by 4:30 they got on.


flower arrangements in giant teacups...


4 different color table runners and chair bows, very Alice style


the tables were starting to come together


playing card gift giveaways for the tables, shaped in hearts


final touches on the tables, flower petals


the backdrop for the cake... the cake will be GORGEOUS just wait.... moi hahaha and that's it for now, we go back tonight for rehearsal.... and then the wedding tomorrow

on a funny note, last night we drove around looking for a beer store, we thot surely we would find easy enuff, but no. We had to go to the trusty GPS for help, so Dean typed in a beer store and the GPS sent us on our way. Then I noticed that the arrival time said 1:30 am??? so we had to stop the car and check it out, the GPS won't work when you are driving, you have to be stopped. So anyway, it was sending us to a beer store hours away lol, back to square one, we just happened to pass by one. Then when we turned into our parking lot of the hotel... look what's next door!! I would've done a close up for you, but I wanted to show you the closeness, the red sign at the back is a cold beer store, we bought warm beer, and the white truck is parked along the hedge of our hotel!!
