40 days

Happy Sunday!

Today was a lovely day! And I got many things accomplished with the help of my sister. 

9:00 It was an early start as I arrived at Justine's church, (my bff) to sing with her at her church. It went really well, I had a lot of fun and it got me in a good mindset for the day.

11:30 Annie and I had an appointment with the Hair and Make Up artist(?) She did a test run on our hair which went quite well. We decided not to post pics and leave it to be a surprise but I will tell you that pretty braids were featured in both of our updo's :) We were able to multi task and order the favors while Lauren did our hair! Two things to cross off the list at once- check and check!

1:00 We began crafting! Or cleaning rather haha. We're using vintage china so we began pulling that out and loading into the dishwasher. Next! Wash jars! Yeah not the most exciting thing ever but you gotta do the dirty work first right?

Alright time for the fun part, the jars! Finally all washed up we began tagging. Remember those tags I made in a previous post?

Find out how I made these here.

They're being tied to the mason jars so everyone's cup already has their name on it!

Scout wanted to know what was so interesting :P

I can't wait to see what they look like topped off with an old fashioned spiral straw!

Happy Planning!

Days fly by!

Ahoy there!

Let me start by saying I'm SO excited for my bridal shower tomorrow! EEEEEeeeee!

Kc came down last weekend and we finished up with our sponsor couple and the priest and the deacon the weekend before that! It feels good to be crossing things off the list!

1. Wedding Bands
2. DJ (yep, we ended up going DJ- request songs!!!)
3. Parents outfits
4. Invitations (designed, printed, sent)

 

But there are things that aren't crossed yet- yikes!

1. Make table Squares
2. Ceremony Music/ Musicians (let me know if you you know a violinist or cellist!)
3. Finish up ceremony details
4. Figure out hair and make up
5. Get accessories
6. Take care of alcohol for reception
7. Make MORE decorations
8. Get rest of mason Jars
9. Order favors

Ok I have to stop making this list, I'm getting nervous!!! No, I feel pretty good about where we are at the 2 month mark- or a few days less now! 1 month, 26 days WOW. 

Kc and I worked on making Chalkboards last weekend too. Yep, he really is helping in all this crazy planning ;)

Happy Friday!

3 months and 5 days

My gosh.

The days seem to be FLYING by. My excitement grows with each day that passes! And despite how insanely busy we've been at the store doing and preparing for events- we've actually managed to stay (somewhat) on top of wedding tasks!

We've been meeting with everyone through the church, we've picked out our wedding bands (so exciting!), we've gotten tons of yards of burlap (and I mean tons!), and I've been trying to keep up with all of the crafting! Tonight, I've just about finished up the escort cards, minus the actual table numbers, which will happen after the rsvps come in and I know for sure where everyone is seated. Wow, those are some long sentences...sorry! 

It looks like a lot of tags there but that isn't even half! Just what I worked on tonight. I've gotta wash tons of mason jars and add the drink tags, make burlap table squares for the middle of the tables, make burlap pennant banners, and so much more that I can't even think about! Whew! Good thing I love crafting :P

Earlier this week my mom and I were checking out a barn sale in Frederick and picked up a neat bird cage for cards to be put in. Just needs a little cleaning up and it will be just perfect! Clearly I'm not afraid of a little rustic touch at our wedding :)

Happy Father's Day!
