Bouquet?

I'm still wondering about a Bouquet and saw this idea on Offbeat Bride Fern wedding bouquet

Seems like it'd fit the theme quite well.

Another Wedding Question

Well, ya'll were really helpful on the Wedding Wine Advice so I'm back asking for more advice.

Since we getting married way out on the Olympic Peninsula, it's sort of more like a destination wedding since folks we be traveling quite a ways to get here (including a gaggle of my British relatives and East Coast family and friends). So one of the things that I thought might be nice is to have welcome gift bags, something that would be waiting in folks rooms when they check in.

So I'm looking for advice about what should go in said gift bags. I've got a short list, but am looking for more advice.

Here's what I'm thinking so far:
1. Bottled water
2. Mints (always helpful for travelers), I'm leaning towards Penguins cause they are local and caffeinated :)
3. Some sort of snack, maybe granola bars or trail mix to stick with our summer campy feel
4. A list of events for the weekend and suggested other things to do and local amenities

Other things, what about cards or something else? There's no TVs or phones so it might be nice to include a little something like that.

Of course, we're on a budget - so no mini bottles of Dom Perignon (sorry!)

Ideas?

Wedding dress

Got one. Finally. Oh dear lord that was making me panic. But I do officially have a dress, it's in a bag, in my closet and it fits and actually looks super cute.

I was gonna post a picture, but maybe you'll just have to wait and see. Unless you are in Ohio for the party at my parents house next week - then I'll give you a sneak peak there.

Better late than never
