I will have a chandelier!

I'm clearly obsessed. I love them all. Here are some of my fav DIY chandeliers:

This one, of course, that I found here on 100 Layer Cake.


This one from here on Design*Sponge:


And now, this one from Snippet & Ink, found here.


I kind of want them all. But no matter what, I will be married under some chandelier-type loveliness because I loves.

Just what I need...

Another obsession. How ah-mazing is this paper receipt altar that I found here on 100 Layer Cake. I am literally dying with envy and drooling all over my keyboard. I wants. A lot.

If I had a million dollars (great, now that song's going to be stuck in my head all day), I would so make this out of silk ribbon. Mmmm...

Biting off more than you can chew. Mmmmm...

I've been hemming and hawing (sp?!) about what to do for prettiness behind us during the ceremony. I've seen a number of things, but most just don't seem right. A big floral arrangement...meh. I detest many of those. I've seen displays using branches, but at the end of September, who wants to be reminded of fall and winter? Plus, dead branches make me kind of sad. I want something neat-o, but not overly ornate and not too...alter-y? Clear as mud, right?

My current insane idea is stolen from Martha but then changed up a bit to make it more fancy (read: difficult). I want to make this out of fabric garlands (the paper ones seem a little cheesy to me):


I know...I know...I'm crazy. I'm a little concerned that I won't be able to make garlands that are long enough, but maybe I'll be able to pull it off. Stay tuned! :)
