random goodies

Because our weekends are packed with weddings and other photo shoots, I like to take Mondays (if I can) and use it to plan for our own wedding. So today I spent the day scowering Ebay for various goodies for our dessert bar. I ordered our cellophane baggies for the dessert bar, I actually found some pretty ones that are clear with gold detailing, so I'm hoping if we tie them with a rose color or brown ribbon they will work good. And they were the cheapest- which makes it even better! So those are on their way (or will be soon) which makes me happy.




Now I just need to wait until Hobby Lobby has their ribbon 50% off so I can get the ribbon for the baggies and for the napkins. We are going to head to Sam's later this week to try and get the plastic plates and cups for the cake and whatnot, and maybe I can pick up some of the ingredients we will need for the various goodies at the dessert bar. I've been picking up things for it here and there and freezing them, so I'm hoping that there will be many yumy goodies! Now we just need to get some serving things to put them all on and make the display pretty!

I also got a few other table decoration goodies and I FINALLY found an awesome deal on the rose petals for the aisle!!!! Who would have thought that white petals were more expensive than the colored ones?! But in any case, I worked my Ebay skills and got 6,000 petals to line the aisle for the church (yes, you heard that, 6,000 petals!) for under $30, so that makes me VERY happy since a case of about 100 at Hobby Lobby is $10. They are on their way from China, haha, and will be here in 2 weeks, but they are ordered and I am happy!!!

Hopefully they will look something like this. Only we wont have a runner, and they will be much thicker on the sides.

Again, much thicker, but we are doing this tulle thing, so you kind of get the idea.

Also found my toss garter, I was trying to find the cheapest but still halfway cute garter out there, and luckily Ebay to the rescue again, and I got a cute white one for the toss for $3-- INCLUDING shipping! Yay! So I am happy.




So today was pretty productive. It's getting down to the end! I can ALMOST see the light...now let's just pay off the linens and my hair/makeup, and we will be done!

33 days!

My veil is here! I am super excited. I dont have pictures yet since the veil is down with my mom, but I will be seeing it on Friday and I cant wait! She says it's pretty so let's hope! I'll get a picture of the case, haha, since no veil pics since Adam cant see! ;)

Garment bags came yesterday and they look like they will fit...they are HUGE! Haha. I never thought they would be so...well...big! So I'm assuming that they will fit the massive dress.

We are going through our engagement pictures, hopefully tonight, to pick our first handful that we are going to get. And by handful, I mean, like 5. We really want some for the reception for our pitiful gift table, haha, and for the slideshow, so we figured we'd buy a couple now (since we are buying the digital files instead of just prints they are more $$) and then we can always get the rest later. I wish we could get them all now, but I guess we never anticipated that we would like the ALL so much, and that they'd be a bit pricey for the files.

I got this coverup from Etsy (I find so many nifty things on there!) for my rehearsal dress, so I am hoping that it goes ok. If not, it's still super cute, was cheap, and will go with many other things.

It's being shipped all the way from ITALY (woo!!) so I havent gotten it yet, but hopefully it will come soon! I'm hoping it gets here before Friday, along with the toasting glasses, so I can take them down to mom.

Speaking of Friday--I am so paranoid that I'm not going to fit in my dress. I mean, I dont THINK I've gained weight in a month, but I'm just to flippin paranoid and wouldnt that SUCK. Not like it can really be RE-altered in this less amount of time! Crash diet before Friday?! Yeah. Right. I like my food too much. Let's just cross our fingers and hope I suppose!

so much fun

Ok so you may have already seen this, but this is pretty darn amazing. It actually made me tear up a bit because it just looked so...fun!

I think my bridal party might kill me...well, ok, the girls would probably think it would be fun, but the guys would kill me. And Adam.

But oh, would it be fun. I'll bet I could get my mom to shimmy on down the aisle with me. ;D

hello!

Now that people have actually received their Save the Dates this blog will, (hopefully) have an audience! So now that it has gone public, I wanted to say "HI" to all of you people who have came here, either because you were curious, bored, or who didn't know who we were when you got your Save the Date ;).

In any case, I hope you all enjoy the planning process through here. Leave comments, they make me happy :). We will also be updating our site frequently as well, though the most current things will probably wind up here first, so if you want to be all in the loop a day or so sooner, check here!

The site has some fun features, including a music request for the reception. Fill it out!!!! We want to play what will make people happy and will make them get up and shake it. Or wiggle. Or however it is you dance. So do it!

We just passed the 4 month mark two days ago, so we are officially in the 3 month category! Woo!
