I was just wondering, where did you get the hanging lanterns? They are adorable! I've been looking for some affordable ones, but I can't find them anywhere!

Best suggestion to make sure people aren't afraid to dance….open bar. Worked well for us but we are mainly Irish and Italian on my side and Polish and German on Steve's side so it worked well!

Amazing, love how you worked in the LoTR and fantasy elements, and I yay for doing a tango for the first dance, I'm hoping to do a tango it was always my favorite back when I was doing ballroom dance lessons in college. It's so great that your family and friends obviously had such a good time, and got into the dancing and fun of everything; my biggest fear with my wedding is that people won't get into the spirit and enjoy the festivities.

Thanks! I basically used a cotton quilt fabric, really cheap (and cotton part is important for the iron transfer step) and made a template of cardboard in the shape of the banner. Sewed two pieces together and then turned it right side out until it was crisp. For the designs I found what I wanted online and printed it out on DARK FABRIC iron on transfers. Then ironed it on and painted the images in the silver I wanted. For the top that was left unsewn I folded the ends over a dowel that I had painted silver and sewed it up. Really simple and honestly was one of my first sewing project since middle school! Very easy to do!

I love your star trek garter!!!
and your whole theme is very cool.
I'm jealous, my FH can't sew a stitch.

OMG YOU'RE THE BRIDE THAT MADE THE FREAKIN' AMAZING FLAGS! I saw your flags in the obb flikr pool, and they're beautiful! I can't afford the $40 ones they have online. If you don't mind me asking, how on earth did you do it and make them look so amazing and professional? I don't think I'm talented enough to do it, but I'd love to learn your secrets, lol, if you care to share.

And congratulations to both of you! You look beautiful and so happy! I love the dress, you have a very talented husband!
