Paper, cloth, and photos
Who didn't fall in love with this picture?
Photo booths seem to be instant fun at a wedding, and I really like the DIY ones. They seem to have an individual personality.

Glass Art
I know its not the most important wedding detail, but I'm so excited to find the perfect pair of champagne flutes. I love glass art and especially glass floats. The first gift Mr. Camrah gave me was a glass float, and I want our champagne flutes to be pieces of glass art too.

Videography
First thought: Not necessary
Second thought: I can use a home video camera to capture the important moments of the day. i.e. vows and first dance
Third thought: http://stillmotionblog.com/post-632/mr-yes-mrs-ngos-sde
Did you watch the video yet?
Did you become very emotional?
Yeah, me too.
After seeing still motion videos on weddingbee pro, I was hooked. I get so excited every time Patrick Moreau's icon picture comes up. The above video is the one that did it for me. I'm pretty sure they are the cutest couple ever.
The amount of emotion and feeling that I get from each of the still motion videos is unbelievable. I love how each story is told through not only images with music, but the words that were spoken though out the day. I would hire Patrick to do my videography in a heartbeat if my budget allowed.
So this begs the question, professional videography or no? I've looked at some of the local videography companies, but none of them seem tell the couples story quite as well as still motion. I found companies that do very nice work, but then I start second guessing. How many times am I going to watch this video? Do I really need a professional video of our wedding, or can't I just do home video?
This is the time period to find a videographer, yet I barely want to look. I think I may be too head over heels with the work of still motion to even consider another videographer. Is this normal? Oh well.
Do you have any vendors that are so great you don't want to consider anyone else? Are you planning on include a professional videographer into your budget? What made you decide yes or no to videography.

Classically Antique
It's become quite popular for weddings to have a theme. I don't think I originally had one, but it has slowly started to creep up on me. Our semi-wedding theme (like our colors) is helping me to focus and filter through ideas. What is this "theme" you ask...
I like to call it classically antique. It might be a little vague, but I think I want the overall feeling to be similar to this.
Memories, family, and friends coming together to celebrate the new turn in the our lives. I wish everything and everyone who has helped me and Mr. Camrah to become the people we are to be represented during our wedding day. I can't wait to start going through old family photos and keepsakes to use as decorations. I want our guests to see our past while sharing with them a day that will create our future.
I'm also hoping to include many things that will become cherished memories and heirlooms after that day. I'm hoping our wedding decor will all have a slightly antique twist even if it is brand new. Think these.
I was instantly drawl to these favor bags. They are new, but they have that perfectly vintage charm. These bags are even in my colors. Jackpot! I don't even know if I'm going to have favor bags, but I might have to after seeing these.
Are there any items or memories your planning on incorporating into your wedding? What things are you planning on keeping to remind you of your wedding?

Duel purpose chest
Five or so years ago, my grandmother gave all five grandchildren a chest for Christmas. She later told me mine had been in the family for quite some time.
So far, I have only used the chest to hold children's books (alright, alright so I couldn't part with my kiddy books). But soon I will have a new purpose for the family chest. It will become a hope chest! The chest will take the place of a traditional guestbook at our wedding. The guests will be able to leave their wishes, advice, and happy thoughts for us in this chest. After the wedding I will hopefully be able to use all of these notes as decoration in a wedding photo album. The chest will require some work before the big day. It looks similar to this.
Except it is smaller and has two brass straps. I am planning on refinishing the wood and polishing the brass. The chest won't be just holding notes either; its pulling double duty!
I want to make a picture collage to be put on the inside of the lid. I am hoping to get family photos from each of our families. I want pictures with and without Mr. Camrah and I. I hope that it will be a complete display to show our families coming together.
Do you have any family heirlooms you are planning on using to decorate your wedding? Are you doing anything to show the two families coming together?
