OK, I really, honestly was not trying to go for a Beauty & the Beast theme – and I’m still not. I was trying to keep it out of the wedding as much as possible, because early on, Chase told me he didn’t want to be thought of as a “beast” at the wedding, which I can understand LOL
So really all we were going to do, originally, was find some way to incorporate one of the lines from the songs into something, we never really decided what.
Well yesterday I found these 2 items on ebay. I showed them to Chase, just because we are always sending wedding stuff back and forth during the day – crazy stuff sent as a joke, stuff we’d actually like, or just random stuff of interest.
Well he liked them, and thought we should get them… so we did!
First up – wedding flutes! We’d been looking at hadn’t found anything that we just loved. It seemed everything was just sort of “blah” and didn’t mean anything to us, or else it was pewter dragons with ruby eyes, which doesn’t really fit the look we’re going for, LOL. So we actually saw these flutes a couple of months ago, and I really liked them, but we passed them up, because we weren’t sure we wanted that. I think they’re subtle enough, and it’s something that will be more of a keepsake to us in the future than just plain crystal ones.
Second – Cake Topper. Well we definitely weren’t going to do anything Beauty and the Beast for the cake, we’d been looking at designs that were really modern and sort-of art deco. So this doesn’t go with that AT ALL! So we’re not 100% sure we’re going to use it, but I’d never seen anything like this one – so we decided to go ahead and buy it, and if we don’t end up using it, it can just go in our collection or be sold, or heck, just sit out at the wedding as a decoration.
But we’re hoping whatever baker we go with might be able to wow us with something to go with it – something that’s cool and us but still fits the cake topper… so we’ll see.
Pics soon!
