A Fairytale Wedding.....Newlyweds No Longer....

Today's post is a personal one. Nothing to do with holidays, it's a tale of a fairytale wedding... Mine! A year ago on Sunday , I got married, after being single a very long time. Of course like all good fairytales, you must have a Princess, uhemmmm, that would be me. A prince, thats Hubbs. An engagement that lasted a long time, while said princess makes up her mind. A patient Prince, that waited. Of course a ring, and a wedding. The perfect place for a fairytale wedding??? Oh!!! Of course a castle! Every little girl (OK..ok so not a little girl anymore) dreams of a castle.. so why shouldn't I ? So when planning this wedding, I looked into outside weddings, beach? nope not beachy type,? garden wedding...yes I can do that. I hired a wedding planner to find me a location, lets just say ..NO! Didn't work out. So I started looking and doing some research, and found a Castle ...ahhh perfect! Somehow it all worked out perfect... just the two of us...getting married, perfect location. Now the first time I got married I didn't wear a wedding dress, and now I wasn't really sure at my age I could pull off a wedding dress. I figured a shorter dress or suit. So the hunt was on... mmmm not so much luck. I finally went into a Wedding Speciality Store, and was looking around for a shoter dress there, when a consultant ended up convincing me that age is not a factor to having your first wedding dress. To Quote her " every woman deserves to wear one". So guess what? I got one! So a year ago I lived my little girl dream of getting married in a castle and married my Prince! So I will share some pictures of that day.

My bouquet I carried and the stairs I walked down.

I hope you enjoy my little journey of my special memories of my fairytale wedding! We are off for the weekend, back to the place of our honeymoon.
Happy 1st Anniversary to my Knight in Shinning Amour! Love you More!


Enjoy!

New Fall Colors 2011

Pantone recently put out their new colors for fall, and I thought I would share them with you all . I have been planning a new look for my house for fall, but that's no big surprise, being I change my house " look" all the time. I have not posted in a while , because I have been busy going through my closets and craft room, decluttering and purging for the onset of the hoildays that are coming up. Preparing for crafts I have planned to do for my new look for fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving . I haven't gotten to Christmas yet.( yes I know early) But any whoo, let me share the fall colors and inspiration from them.
this is the mascline version:
Here's some rooms designed combining the two :
