Wedding Wednesday // The Details (part 1)

This has got to be my favorite part about weddings (well, besides all the mushy, romantic, best day of my life, marrying the man of my dreams stuff)... 

I love when weddings have personalized details throughout that really captures the couples' personality. There are so many details from my wedding I want to share that I had to break it up into 2 posts :) 

The Invites

I had come up with the design concept and purchased the font "Carolina Pro Black" knowing I would use it through out the wedding for consistency. Peabody Papers in Grandview brought my invite concept to life! The return envelopes were a shimmery gold (although they look yellow in the above photo) and I personally lined every envelope with the black and white striped paper to add a little pizazz. Read more about the creation of our invites here. 

We included a graphic map of the venue, church and hotel to provide guests with directions. I also special ordered the cocktail napkins with the social media icons from ForYourParty.com to be used at cocktail hour and the reception.

The Flowers

My bridal bouquet was made up of all ivory flowers: roses, hydrangeas, ranunculus, carnations and seeded eucalyptus. I carried my late grandfather's wedding ring on my bouquet as my something old (cue the tissues!).

The bridesmaid bouquets were made up of dark magic roses, pink carnations, pink ranunculus and seeded eucalyptus. They each had the same black and white striped ribbon at the base and I added the gold sequin ribbon to the bridesmaid bouquets. 

After Ceremony Noise Makers

Another fun detail I worked on were these gold noise makers for guests to blow after the ceremony when we exited the church. I added a little note on each reading "Make some noise! Lindsay & Bill are hitched!"

That's all for this week's WW post. Stay tuned next week for more details from the reception!

Engagement Party + Weekend Projects

Happy Monday!

I had a very eventful weekend to say the least. Bill and I hosted an engagement party for his brother and fiance on Friday night. We rented out the space above Park Street Tavern for the event. Those that live in Columbus, this was a great venue for a party! We worked with their caterer and the food was great and so was the service! The pricing for food was not bad either. I highly recommend it for a party of 30 - 100 guests.

I had a lot of fun crafting for the engagement party, of course :)

I got the block letters from Michael's and added the flower appliques. The napkins are from Party City and straws are left overs from other events :) Their wedding colors are going to be navy and a light pink, so I wanted to keep with that theme. 

I also had fun making this "engaged!" banner using my circle cutter and chalk marker. I glued the circles to lace ribbon and added the flower appliques. Made for a great photo opp!

I made these ball jar center pieces for the tables using burlap and lace. I filled them with water and added a floating candle. They turned out really pretty! 

Bill made a fantastic speech in honor of his brother and his fiance, Angie. 

A great time was had by all!

Some other fun projects that we completed over the weekend:

We got our new dining room chairs! They are from Value City Furniture of all places. We have been scouring different furniture stores for the right chairs and when we found these, we bought them on the spot. They were delivered the same week! 

Can't wait to share more home decor projects with you all very soon! 

You can follow my home decor projects by using the #rumplehouse on instagram or follow my instagram feed for more :)

We also got a few potted plants for the front porch and I bought some herbs to make a mini herb garden! Bill plated them for me in a big black pot. I got chives, cilantro, basil and candy mint! The mint and basil are so fragrant! I can't wait to use them!

I'm linking up with Leeann!

That's all for now! How was your weekend?

Thankful Thursday

This week I am thankful for:

1 // Running outside! It has been so nice out and the perfect weather to go for a run outside. This is one of my favorite pastimes during the warm months of the year. It's a time for me to meditate and listen to music while getting a good work out!

2 // A husband that will hang things on the wall for me as I am challenged in this arena. He is always a perfectionist, measuring it out perfectly. Glad to finally have these hanging in our bedroom! Gold foil southern vows print via Lindsay Letters. 

3 // The most perfect breakfast smoothie that I've been enjoying almost daily. 

Handful of frozen berries, 1/2 of a banana, splash of Almond milk, tbs of whey protein powder (I use Vanilla flavored), handful of baby spinach (can't even taste it!), blend well! Sooo Yummy!!

4 // I'm going to go all Jimmy Falon style on this one and write a Thank You note... Thank you Giant Eagle for placing the pre-baked, pre-sliced pound cake and ready whip so conveniently next to the strawberries... I can't hate on that marketing genius!! I totally fell for it!

5 // I hate to repeat myself for those that read my last post... But, I have to give props to the maxi dress! I have a feeling I will be wearing these a lot this Spring!

That's all for this week! 

Sorry I missed Wedding Wednesday! Things have been a little busy around these parts! 

I will be back next week for more posts about the wedding!
