Wedding Wednesday -"The little things"




This week has been about all the little details! We decided on the shirt color for tuxes and I ordered some shoes and cannot wait until they come in! I hope they work :) I have started working on the centerpieces which I think I found the type of branches that will work and I think they are going to look fabulous! Starting to think about programs and other small details that you don't really think about at first. I need to finish getting stuff for the candy buffet and I am still trying to find a place to buy/rent tableclothes (suggestions please!?!) Also been busy getting the invitations ready to mail out, just need to make a map and finish addressing them. I'm getting super excited! Only 59 days to do!!

Wedding Wednesday - "Shower, tuxes and shoes!"




Once again this week has been pretty busy with wedding madness! We went to Men's Warehouse and picked out the tuxes. Once we left though we started debating on the shirt color. We chose ivory while we were there because my dress is "ivory" but the ivory color of their shirts and Andrew's vest seems a whole lot darker than my dress actually is. I think we would prefer white so we might have to call and make that change.


We ordered all nine pairs of shoes for the guys in the wedding which are Converse hightops. While trying to find somewhere that had the sizes we needed I stumbled upon a pair of zebra print sparkly converse! So now I'm debating about whether I should buy a pair of those for myself so that I kind of match the boys or if I should stick with my original plan of wearing my leopard pony fur Kenneth Cole flats!?! Decisions, decisions....


We helped my mom address all of the shower invites and I can't believe it's only a few weeks away!


Next week we have got to get the invitations in the mail!! We should also make our final decision on tux shirt color and let Men's Warehouse know so that the guys can all go get fitted. I also really need to find somewhere to buy tableclothes! If anyone knows anywhere good and affordable let me know PLEASE!! I also need to start working on the centerpieces!


Wow only 66 days to do!

Wedding website - Dresses, flowers, and registries

We have been very productive this past week! This past Sunday four out of the five bridesmaids, my future mother in law and I met at David's Bridal and picked out an amazing dress! I still cannot believe that all the girls liked the same dress and the dress looked great on all of them!





Monday Andrew and I went to the florist to make our final decisions on all the bouquets and such. We are using orange calla lillies, orange spray roses, orange austria (sp?), some rusty colored mums and yellow fillers. I am super excited and I know they will look great!




We finished up registering everywhere we wanted to and I'm glad that is over! Next week we will addressing invitations, planning the rehearsal dinner and figuring out where to get tuxes from. Only 73 days to go!

You Capture - Trees. Beautiful plants. Little cute babies

So I found a new blog that has a "You Capture" photography challenge every week. One of the rules is that you have to post a picture that you have taken during the week specifically for the challenge and not just browse through your old photos to find one that fits the theme (which I have been guilty of doing with the photo friday challenge I have been doing!) So I figured I would try this so that I can play around with all the different settings and such on my new camera and learn everything I can about it! This week's challenge was trees, beautiful plants and or little cute babies. This challenge was fairly easy for me since I tend to take lots of photos of flowers and have taking tons already this week! Here are my two favorites...


















Next week the challenge is "fruit"
