I'm Back!

Ok I have been MIA with good reason. We are 19 days away from the wedding is my reason and I have had so much stuff to do. One of the main things the seating chart and working with an awesome lady at GEDesigns to create my seating chart. I will give you a sneak peak of it. Its going to be great!



Speaking of stationary goods. The lady who I worked with endless hours of designing my invitations emailed me today and said she loved our invitations so much she wants to use them as one of her samples. So we were excited for that!

I also got an email from my photographer the other day with my guestbook design with all our engagements pictures. She is so awesome it came out better than i expected! So I can't wait to see that in person. Lindsey has been so great to work with and is so sweet. How many photographers do you know that sends their clients christmas presents! She really has become one of my friends throughout the whole process we talk quite often.

Other than that I have been crazy running around doing errands picking up all of the dumb little things I said I was going to do and forget about until now like the memory table and the table of all our parents and grandparents wedding photos and stuff like that. We are trying to finalize our slide show which I have put in the hands of Jeff as well as moving into the house we will be living in for the mean time so it has been quite hectic. My wedding room is overflowed and im starting to make boxes of stuff so its pretty easy for my wedding planner. I write detailed messages on the side of the box so it should be pretty easy to set everything up correctly (im pretty anal when it comes to the details) so hopefully its all done correctly to my standards. I am still waiting on my menu cards to come in the mail and one thing I ordered for my bridesmaids so hopefully that comes soon. Other than that I think we are good to go. I can't believe it already here.

Jeff and I are going to get our marriage license hopefully tomorrow but if not definitely sometime this week. I hired a makeup artist and she is coming tomorrow to do a trial run so its all coming together. Only thing Im stressing about is my veil i want to see it since the last time i went because I am not sure if its going to be right but I won't see it until next week so she will only have a few days before the wedding to correct it if I'm not happy. AH!

One of our friends is throwing our couples shower this Saturday so we are excited and that will keep our minds off the wedding to have some fun with friends and family. Since my entire desk is overflowing with list after list! Jeff says he wants to do stuff with me but I get so stressed out over everything he rather stay away from me and do his list of things to do on his own so I dont stress him out. I said I could careless if you just get your list done!

So hopefully I won't be so MIA since I got majority of the stuff done!

Hope everyone has a great Christmas and an almost Happy New Year!

Twas' the Night Before Christmas

I just love this time of year. I love all the parties and christmas eve church and being with friends and family. I am more excited jeff gets to spend christmas morning with me this year for the first time since we always normally split up and do our own family things but it will be the beginning of splitting time! Jeff and I are both like little kids when it comes to christmas we already have been snooping under the christmas tree and looking at our presents and still have no idea what they are!
We are off to Christmas Eve Church, then out to a nice family dinner. THen we all come back to my parents house open our one christmas eve gift (which our pajamas) then we play a new game every year and drink lots of wine and have a good time.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas. God Bless everyone!

Real Wedding Tuesday now Wednesday

If i had a summer wedding I would do red and blue as my color for sure. I just love it.

Bachelorette Party

Sorry I have been MIA. I have been super busy and for the past four days been on my bachelorette cruise. We had lots of fun but I have just been recovering. So I will get back in the swing of things shortly. here are a few pictures from the bachelorette party.

As for wedding stuff we are only 25 days away! eeeekk. I have so much to and will be super busy. I ordered my seating chart last night and finalized all that. So i will be stressed out I believe until the day is actually here. Jeff and I are hoping for weather like todays in the low 60s and sunny it was perfect!

1 Month!!

I can't really not believe we are one month away from the wedding. I feel like I have soo much to do and so little time. I am so excited and ready for it to be here but feel like I need to get on top of some things! Jeff comes home tomorrow from his bachelor party. Since they went on a cruise I have not been able to talk to him and I'm going crazy. So I can't wait to see him tomorrow and we are both going to meet with my wedding planner and do a walk through at the reception venue. So lots going on especially with Christmas next week its going to go by in a blink of an eye!

Real Wedding Tuesday

i love her dress, pictures taken by Jasmine Star

Awesome photo shoot!

this looks like it would be an awesome wedding but really they just set this up for a photo shoot. but they are so many great details. the picture are shot by Jasmine Star.

Derby Invites

Well the boys are off on their bachelor party so I'm praying they come back alive. I told Jeff I really don't care what happens but please make sure you come back with your passport or else we won't be able to go on our honeymoon. So fingers are crossed because he tends to loose lots of things.

I am going to be such a busy woman this week its going to be crazy but it will be keep be busy so I don't think about no talking to Jeff for 3 whole days don't think that has happened in over 6 years of dating. I have almost everything ordered for stationary wise. I bought my earrings for the wedding.

Today my mom, sister, and I went shopping for a hat for my Bridal Luncheon. I think I have said before I am having a Kentucky Derby Theme bridal luncheon which just consists of all the girls wearing cute hats and dress pretty much, it will be real cute for pictures. We actually found a couple really cute ones today.

But my invitations were one of my favorite parts and since I already sent it in the mail to the girls I can post it on here. I am just going to post a blank invitation so all the information of the luncheon isn't on the internet.
But I used a little poem at the top that said:

In honor of those who have stood by my side
You have helped to make me a happy bride
I'd like to thank you in a personal way
So please join me for a lunch on this special day.



So other than that I am going to get my hair trial done on Tuesday and have to go do a make up trial this week. So I am sort of eager to see how that goes because I am still sort of up in the air about what I want so hopefully she can just do something that I fall in love with.

Weekend is Here

Oh its getting so close to Christmas which means the wedding is right around the corner! I ordered all my paper things except my menu cards. I'm trying to find someone who can print an 8 inch round circle menu card. My girl could only do a 6 inch and I am not to big of a fan of how that size looks on the charger. So hopefully I can find someone shortly.
We almost have our seating charts finalized maybe a few changes but then I can get my seating chart sent out and made.

Jeff's football buddies from up north are coming down today and they are heading off on their bachelor party cruise tomorrow! So while Jeff is gone for four days I am getting my hair and make up trial done. I have to meet with my wedding planner at the Reception venue to go over some things so I will be quite the busy girl. Then we go on my bachelorette party cruise next Friday. So it will be exciting to get away and not worry about this wedding for a couple days. I have just been so busy I have been on the phone and computer non stop ordering things or setting up appointments. Hope everyone has a great Weekend.

my obsession with babys breath. love this picture




i thought this picture was just too cute

First Look

So many people tried to talk me out of doing a first look with jeff and getting our pictures done prior to the ceremony but yet every photographer would try to talk you into it. I think you can get so many more awesome pictures and share such a special moment with your fiance which you can't when you are walking down the aisle. Here are a few pictures that justifies why I am doing it. I am looking forward to this moment between Jeff and I and our photographer all by ourselves.
