Orange and Purple Wedding

So here is where I am at, I STILL don't have a camera 
{other than the one on my phone that takes less than fantastic quality pics} and we are having a busy busy summer.......

But I feel like I am totally neglecting my blog and my faithful {and totally wonderful} readers/friends.

This Saturday I am traveling to Illinois to help rescue the wedding of a very good friend. Let me tell you...this has been one of those anything that can go wrong will absolutely go wrong kind of weddings. She {like me} is on pretty much a $0 budget and wanted just a simple outdoor wedding with a purple and orange whimsical theme.

Sounds easy enough right? 
Two weeks before cue the everything going wrong part......without going into full detail, I am taking the tables, chairs, and tents. We spent three days crafting pin wheels, and I have spent a few more days crafting paper flowers for the arch, flower seeds packets as the wedding favors, printing up black and white engagement photos for their table background
I am making the wedding cake and the grooms cake, and pulled pork.

I am telling you, everyone just bailed from their responsibilities!! 
But I  feel like I have it under control and am so excited for her. {Pretty sure with as much as has gone wrong thus far though that I am going to have to follow her around the day of with a bottle of champagne to keep her nerves calm!}

Here are some of the pins I have found that I am using as inspiration.

I like the top one most, but she is a fun and funky kind of girl and wanted pops of orange!

  3. Nicki,

    Sounds like you have your hands full with this but an act of love for your dear friend. I'm sure she appreciates all your efforts.
