Is your vision to follow Emily Post&rsquo;s etiquette book to a &ldquo;T&rdquo;? If so, that&rsquo;s great! Or rather, is&nbsp;your vision to throw the so-to-speak rule book out the window and lead your own path? That&rsquo;s outstanding! Or maybe your vision is somewhere in-between the two. Guess what? That&rsquo;s fabulous as well! How are all of these scenarios not only acceptable but outstanding? Simple. At <em>All in the Details<\/em>, &ldquo;it&rsquo;s not our vision that counts, it&rsquo;s yours.&rdquo; Emphasis on &ldquo;yours.&rdquo; It&rsquo;s your day, you do it your way!

A common question I get is whether or not a sapphire is my birthstone? It is not.

We both have nothing against them, it just wasn\u2019t for us. Instead, we told a bunch of people we were going on a quick weekend vacation to Las Vegas together. If people wanted to join- great! The more the merrier!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I know\u2026Las Vegas is such a cliche; however, thanks to <span style=\"color: #ff99cc;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bookit.com\"><span style=\"color: #ff99cc;\">Bookit.com<\/span><\/a><\/span> we got an amazingly cheap deal that was too good to pass up. The deal was so great that a lot of our friends decided to vacation with us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In the end, for a variety of reasons, this option was the best for us. One thing we really loved was that when it came time for our wedding, many of our friends who had not known each other prior to this vacation were great friends by then.

First, it provided the girls a convenient way to carry things around the entire day. Secondly, the clutch was reusable for them after easily removing the flowers. In the end, it actually ended up being cheaper than bouquets that they would have only used for an hour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-span6 motopress-clmn  mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span12 motopress-clmn mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-text-obj\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">No petals for us<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span12 motopress-clmn mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right  motopress-space\">\n<div class=\"motopress-space-obj mpce-dsbl-background-image-type mpce-dsbl-background-image mpce-dsbl-background-gradient mpce-dsbl-background-position mpce-dsbl-background-position-x mpce-dsbl-background-position-y mpce-dsbl-background-repeat mpce-dsbl-background-size mpce-dsbl-background-attachment mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right mpce-dsbl-background-color mpce-dsbl-border-top-width mpce-dsbl-border-bottom-width mpce-dsbl-border-left-width mpce-dsbl-border-right-width mpce-dsbl-border-top-left-radius mpce-dsbl-border-top-right-radius mpce-dsbl-border-bottom-left-radius mpce-dsbl-border-bottom-right-radius mpce-dsbl-border-style mpce-dsbl-border-color mpce-dsbl-padding-left mpce-dsbl-padding-right mpce-dsbl-margin-top mpce-dsbl-margin-bottom mpce-dsbl-color\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span12 motopress-clmn mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-image-obj motopress-text-align-left\"><img src=\"https:\/\/detailsindy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Flower-girls-1-508x1024.jpg\" title=\"Flower girls\" alt=\"Flower girls\" class=\"motopress-image-obj-basic mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right mpce-dsbl-margin-top mpce-dsbl-margin-bottom\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"motopress-image-caption\">As our flower girls made their way down the long aisle, we had them hand out long stem red roses to guests along the edge of the aisles.

I was captain of the Golduster Dance Team and he was captain of the saxophone section in the Purdue All American Marching Band. Since the dance team traveled with the band, both Purdue and the AAMB hold a very special place in our hearts. For my gift to him, I surprised him by having a small replica of Purdue&#8217;s Big Bass drum created and had guests use it as a guestbook. This drum now proudly hangs in his office and we regularly check out the loving signatures. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span12 motopress-clmn  mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span12 motopress-clmn mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-text-obj\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Late night surprises<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span6 motopress-clmn mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-image-obj motopress-text-align-left\"><img src=\"https:\/\/detailsindy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/es3424-1024x683.jpg\" title=\"Late night snack\" alt=\"Late night snack\" class=\"motopress-image-obj-basic mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right mpce-dsbl-margin-top mpce-dsbl-margin-bottom\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"motopress-image-caption\">At the time, many people weren&#8217;t offering late night snacks at their reception.

We wanted to give the guests something they would use for a favor so they were provided with cookies and coke. Each bag contained a cookie made with my family&#8217;s chocolate chip recipe and an orange cookie made with my husband&#8217;s family&#8217;s recipe.

Also, let&#8217;s face it, formal receptions can be boring for children too. We wanted everyone to have a good time, so we hired babysitters that were students from Butler University. There was a side room in the reception space that we hosted the kids in with the babysitters. This was great because the parents were able to easily check on their children throughout the night if they desired. We tried to make the kids feel like they were at their own party. We created kid-style invitations and mailed them to the attention of the invited children in advance. They got to have a great kid&#8217;s meal, watch movies and play games at their private party. My husband and I made it a point to go up and visit as well to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span12 motopress-clmn  mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span12 motopress-clmn mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-text-obj\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Not perfect, but perfect for us<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span12 motopress-clmn mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-image-obj motopress-text-align-center\"><img src=\"https:\/\/detailsindy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/es2509-683x1024.jpg\" title=\"Bride and Groom\" alt=\"Bride and Groom\" class=\"motopress-image-obj-basic mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right mpce-dsbl-margin-top mpce-dsbl-margin-bottom\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span12 motopress-clmn mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right  motopress-space\">\n<div class=\"motopress-space-obj mpce-dsbl-background-image-type mpce-dsbl-background-image mpce-dsbl-background-gradient mpce-dsbl-background-position mpce-dsbl-background-position-x mpce-dsbl-background-position-y mpce-dsbl-background-repeat mpce-dsbl-background-size mpce-dsbl-background-attachment mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right mpce-dsbl-background-color mpce-dsbl-border-top-width mpce-dsbl-border-bottom-width mpce-dsbl-border-left-width mpce-dsbl-border-right-width mpce-dsbl-border-top-left-radius mpce-dsbl-border-top-right-radius mpce-dsbl-border-bottom-left-radius mpce-dsbl-border-bottom-right-radius mpce-dsbl-border-style mpce-dsbl-border-color mpce-dsbl-padding-left mpce-dsbl-padding-right mpce-dsbl-margin-top mpce-dsbl-margin-bottom mpce-dsbl-color\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span12 motopress-clmn mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-text-obj\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Was our wedding perfect?
