Are You Ready For Some Football?

Fiance and I absolutely LOVE football. I've been a fan for as long as I can remember; while other girls were playing with Barbies or My Little Ponies, I was collecting football cards. Seriously. My dad not so ceremoniously dumped all my old stuff off on us that had been sitting in my old room for years and I found the football cards that I collected when I was kid -- when I was as young as seven years old.

For Fiance, football is more of a recent passion -- say in the last five years or so -- but he is definitely no less a fan. We have bonded over our love of football and despite being from different areas, we actually do have two favorite teams in common! In fact, we had originally picked the month of August to have our wedding (though that didn't work out for reasons that I'll explain in another post) because we didn't want to interfere with football season. Seriously.

I would love to find some subtle ways to incorporate our love of football into our wedding, but I definitely didn't want a football themed wedding. So how do you incorporate football into a vintage themed wedding? Well, I certainly don't have the answer to that question, but I did find some cute football related things I hope to use!

What a cute little cake topper! From Sandra Lee's Shoppe, she has a huge variety of cute and unique bride and groom cake toppers. From various sports to hobbies to a princess bride kissing a frog! Super cute.

What about a nice sports garter? I absolutely love the second one -- it's one of our shared teams! The Notre Dame one is by The Garter Lady who also has a huge selection of beautiful garters -- from classic and romantic to funky and sporty. She also has a fantastic selection of vintage-y garters like her heirloom category.
