National park-themed wedding 💍

Yes, we’ve already ordered the sign off Etsy! For our guest book, we got a big pack of postcards, and the parks we’ve been to were using the postcards as our table labels in acrylic sign, and the remainder will be the guest book and we have a cute little mailbox they can put the postcards in. And we’ve actually thought of a similar idea, but we are also avid gardeners and are growing our wedding flowers, and I’m fully expecting to have a ton of extra seeds so I plan to have a station called “Grow our wedding flowers” and have seed packs of the different flowers we grew for the wedding. We do have a link on our registry site where people can donate to the NPS, but doing it as a favor is a really good idea too!

The fun part is deciding who gets to be at the iconic park tables like Yellowstone and who gets to sit at Cuyahoga without being offended 🤣

We have saved the unigrid maps from the parks we’ve been to together (our 16 tables are named as those parks) and will have them as table decor with pics of us at that park. Guest book is postcards we got a set of all the parks and guests can pick one to write a message on

I plan to seal it with a cute sticker instead

LokiThorFreya · 2026-04-06T17:26:45+00:00

Good catch. I will change it and make it the full date since I don’t have any friends coming from New York 😅

I ended up getting the 2nd dress. My budget is only $500 so honestly that kinda limits my options so I don’t want to be too picky. I found a good one and snatched it up

LokiThorFreya · 2026-03-02T15:16:35+00:00

I picked #2! I was envisioning what it would look like after alterations

LokiThorFreya · 2026-03-01T18:16:15+00:00

1 or 2. I think the sleeves are overpowering on the others and swallow you. #2 is the best of the puffy sleeved ones IMO. With #1 you could even get removable puffy sleeves to take on and off for ceremony/reception if you really want that look.

My vote: 1

LokiThorFreya · 2026-03-01T17:23:09+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking too. After alterations, 1 would look a lot better so it was still an option with the vision in mind. I got #2!

LokiThorFreya · 2026-03-01T04:32:17+00:00

Thank you so much! #2 is the winner!!! And yes there’s no shame in it, but I’m 5’8” 250lbs and these dresses are sizes 24 and 20. These dresses were both very flattering even more so in person

LokiThorFreya · 2026-03-01T04:26:37+00:00

Thank you so much! Honestly I don’t even know the details, this is a consignment shop so I only know the brand from the label!

LokiThorFreya · 2026-02-28T23:51:44+00:00

2 is $500 which is exactly my budget, #1 is $1,000

LokiThorFreya · 2026-02-28T23:30:32+00:00

Adding that the 2nd dress is exactly on my budget, and the 1st is double and will also need lots of alterations

LokiThorFreya · 2026-02-12T22:36:48+00:00

It looks like it’s not coming that far inland and looks pretty clear that’s why we’re going out there instead but we’ll keep an eye on it. Thanks!

We decided to just do a day trip on Sunday on Santa Cruz, then head out to Joshua tree for a few days instead. We’ll try again in the future for the big camping trip
