Well, I suppose the first thing I should do is make a checklist (in no apparent order) of everything that needs to be done in the long run. Then I can figure everything out from there... If you've noticed I've forgotten anything, feel free to comment and let me know.... No, please... let me know. Seriously. lol.

I will check things off of this list only when they are absolutely, completely 100% done and taken care of... I'm going to post my ideas about what I would like to do someplace else. :)
Invitation One
Something I whipped up on the computer... Not the actual times, so there would be some editing.
Invitation Two
Another one...
Flowers
I think these are PERFECT for our color scheme, and they are very pretty. These are first choice for me.
More Flowers
This is the other flowers we would like to have... Red and Black Roses.
Flower Girl Dress
I think this is adorable, and it matches perfectly.
Bridesmaid Dresses
I'm thinking about going with something like these, a little black dress, but in a deeper black. Something the girls can use again.
Backdrop
This is impressive... I like it. I like it a lot. However we wont we having a head table because we aren't having a formal meal, so it might be nice to do a smaller version behind the cake table.
Wishing Tree
We're thinking about having a wishing tree instead of a guestbook, then adding the notes to our Wedding Book.
Wishing Tree again..
Close up.
Hairstyles...
I really like the kind of up-do's like this that are loose and flowy.
Nails
Maybe something like this, but with a red rose instead of white.
Cake
I really like that this cake is simple and elegant at the same time. The type of cake that I would like to try is red velvet... It would look really nice, but I'm not sure of the taste.
Another Cake
I also like the simple elegance of this cake.
Guest Favors
We're thinking something like this in etched glass, but it's going to say "Charles & Jennifer Took A Shot At Marriage" with the wedding date underneath... and maybe some little picture somewhere... we'll see.
Centerpieces
I think this is what we may use, alternating between red and black flowers.
Centerpieces
Here is another version of the same type of centerpiece.
Music is Love
