curlysue thanks for all your lovely compliments!! to answer your question about the cake topper, all of my paper at the reception was from a copy of "farewell to arms" that i got at a 2nd had store for .50. i used it as the paper that i wrote the table numbers on, i made flowers out of it for our gift/card box, and flowers that sat on the guest book table. so, i saw a very similar cake topper somewhere on the internets & made ours myself using lines from "farewell to arms," the lid to one of our mason jar centerpieces, and a revamped $5 vintage cake topper.
thanks missdebby!!! the veil was a labor of love, so that means a lot to me!
