A Little Change of Plans = A Big Adventure

So remember that country wedding I was in...well the bride to be Aminah  made a slight adjustment - and now we are heading to Ireland! I am pretty excited I have travelled a bunch within Canada and the USA I have never left the continent.  


The wedding isn't until October 2013, but that doesn't mean I can't research the crap out of it  now : ) 


Fun facts I am learning - did you know the Titanic was build in Belfast? and that Liam Neeson used to be a boxer? and that most of Braveheart was filmed there? (Obviously I know the important things to research) 


We are saving out pennies now and am hoping to convince Clifford that you can't actually fly from Canada to Ireland - that you have to fly to Paris first :P

Happy Friday :) On a non-Christmas note, I get to be in a wedding soon..well in a year and a half, but we've been busy planning pinning pretty things for it :)  The bride to be is Aminah from Thrifty Gypsies (you may remember her from here  & here).

Here are some of the pretty pins inspiring her rustic/country wedding :)

Hello Sparrows and Arrows readers, I'm Nikki from Perpetually Engaged and I love all things weddings. I find inspiration all over the place so today I thought I'd share a little Halloween/Fall wedding idea with you.


Intimate backyard weddings are becoming more and more popular these days which means you have more control over the decor, and more importantly the landscaping. Unless of course you have controlling inlaws ;) If you have the time and space, I think it would be lovely to grow your flowers over your altar. Talk about a money saver too!

If you live in a state with decent Fall weather and can still have an outdoor wedding, I love the idea of growing pumpkins up and over your altar like these ones I saw at the botanical gardens in Geneva, Switzerland. Aren't they beautiful? You can find directions on the best pumpkins for climbing here.


Thanks for having me Jessi and Cassie!
