My theme was “Bling, Bling, Bling”! I love the sparkles of diamonds. And our colors were dark Purple and lavender.

I chose Purple because it’s a color of royalty, elegance, and beauty.

I printer my own invitations, wedding programs, and place cards.

I wanted a place where I could have an outside ceremony surrounded by roses. And I wanted my reception to be a spacious hall where my guests could feel comfortable and at ease.

I did lots research online, wedding magazines, and had some friends referred me to vendors they had used before.
My fiancé and I did our own decision making.
Was budget a factor?
If so in what way? Yes, and we tried our best to stay within our budget. We had to cut back on some things in order to invite more guests to our reception.
What would you do different?
I would definitely have a coordinator the day of the wedding to keep us on track of time and make sure everything was done exactly how I wanted. Overall, I loved the way my wedding turned out to be.
