...a saturday of shopping...

yesterday i took logan with me wedding shopping all  day. lucky him, huh? i found lots of super deals.

we started at michael's  in lexington. i did a quick trip around the store and sure enough i found the clearance section. they had some wonderful wedding items on sale.

fabulous ribbon. .99 cents, original $3.99.  the blue is perfect.



i also found wonderful topiary place card holders. how cute are they?! and a total steal for $1.49. i also found these printable place cards. $2.49 regular $5.99.

i also purchased a photo mat for our wedding. i thought it would be better than a guest book. i will end up packing up a guest book in a box, only to be visited a few more times before it is eventually thrown away. so i thought a photo mat could be displayed in our home. it was $9.99 and i used a 50% off coupon. i got it for $4.99. the pens were on sale 2/$5. they are normally $3.49 a piece.  

best deal of all, i got two 40% off coupons while i was there. i will be checking back next week. i believe i can make a weekly trip to michael's to get some fabulous deals. they have such an amazing wedding section.

then after lunch, and blake's first temper tantrum of the day, we headed to party city. i bought my cake topper. i found it online on party city's website. i know it is basic, but i want to put flowers around it as well. very simple, but can be beautiful at the same time. i am not a fan of the bride and groom cake toppers.

i also found where i want to buy all our paper products. how fun are these colors?

i know it is a horrible picture. but you get the point.

from there we went to meijer for some household stuff. and then we ended up at walmart. i found an amazing deal. i am super excited about it too. and what is that? i found flower petals from valentine's day for .50 cents. i got every one that i could find. not much, but still a start. i want flowers to line the isle.

on friday i found some stuff at the hobby lobby...

how cute are these?! i want to paint them for a decoration at the reception. i was thinking about putting ribbon on them to hang. :) i got them for 50% off too!

logan found this frame. i figured it would be cute painted. and i will replace the ribbon.
