Wow, I bought a man's wedding ring...

Last week I ordered his wedding ring. We had decided on Tungsten so I visited a few jewelry stores to get an idea of what style, thickness, etc. I wanted to purchase. Tungsten is great because it doesn't scratch or change colors...ever! When I had decided on a style, I started looking around online to see if I could beat the jeweler's price. I found this one on Overstock.com which was the exact same ring I liked at the retail store but for a fraction of the cost! I did a little research before buying to ensure that it didn't have any other alloys mixed into the metal to affect the quality. I followed the advice that was given in the reviews and ordered a half size smaller than Dave actually wears and it fits perfectly and looks great!!

Also, I googled "coupon code for overstock.com" and got free shipping! If you have their iPhone app, be sure to keep a watch on the scratch off lotto coupon for other great coupons!

Decor, Decor, Decor....

This week's project was to get started on the decorations that will be at the wedding. I found this picture on The Knot and thought I'd modify it a little to fit my wedding theme.

I found these tablecloths online at for $3.79 each...cheaper than I could rent them.

I ordered 13 and a round one for my cake table for a grand total of about $60 with shipping. Luckily, I will be borrowing white table clothes from my church to go under the runners. I have buffet style seating.

For the ceremony, I found this picture (again on The Knot) and will be recreating them alongside the aisle.

I found the buckets at a local pottery store (Old Time Pottery) for $1.99 each, (I bought 8) and I bought ribbon at Hobby Lobby for 1/2 off! I will incorporate the ribbon other places also.

Also, I have fallen in love with custom aisle runners so I bought one at Hobby Lobby. They frequently put their entire bridal section 50% off (never buy anything full price at Hobby Lobby, wait a few weeks and it will surly go on sale). I want to make a stencil and paint it to look like this:

If you're not ambitious enough to paint your own, I found a site that has adorable custom runners...Click Here to see her site!

I'll be adding more decor post soon so check back!
