A Beautiful Wedding

Hello!

I came across this GORGEOUS wedding the other day on a lovely blog called Grey Likes Weddings and I just had to share it with the world.





Although it's a bit more formal than we are going for I hope to capture a bit of elegance in our own way. Because after all, the day should feel extra special and the decor should capture a bit of that as well. This is just a beautiful wedding through and through. You should really check out the rest of the pics. :)

Happy Planning

Things are getting done!

Hello!

It's been too long and I do apologize. So many things are happening and I am just finally finding a little time to write about it. Although I should be doing homework instead. 

So many vendors have been hired since we last...communicated? We had an amazing cake tasting a few weeks back and a baker has been hired! Delicious spice cake and red velvet will be served! I love these two sets of picture...totally different but both simple. Both, I believe, were found at Style Me Pretty.



A photographer has also been chosen and he is just the nicest! Levi and I hit it off immediately and I am so excited that he will photographing our wedding because he's amazingly talented. You should really check him out at his website. He's a little preview...Levi I hope you don't mind!

I chose this picture because I just love the idea of taking the soil (i'm guessing) for each of their hometowns. That would be neat for a couple like Kc and I who live a few states apart!

His style is just so artistic but not overdone which is difficult to achieve not to mention he is the coolest guy! And has great taste in music which is always a good sign!

We've also found a florist! Wendy was down to earth and knew her stuff, which is perfect because I don't really know anything about flowers. I hardly knew what I really wanted other than Hydrangeas and Sunflowers! There will also be a bit of Thistle, Queens Anne's Lace and another yellow flower I can't pronounce or even begin to spell. Our bridesmaids will look a bit like this:

 And I think that's even the same little yellow flowers on the right that I can't name. They look something like that. Our bridesmaids will have yellow and a bit of blue to go with their grey dresses! 

And finally we even have found a caterer! James is so talented. He makes not only the most delicious bbq I've ever tasted he makes yummy brussel sprouts, macaroni and cheese, and more! Every things was just so good, I was relieved to have found someone who was also very down to earth and laid back with such talent.

And Save-the-dates are out! With the exception of a few that need to be whipped up :) No worries, I'll send them this week. Really I'm just stressing over getting out priest in order, we have yet to meet with him because it's so hard to get kc and I both home on a weekend that isn't insanely busy. But it will happen soon. It must! But I'm feeling relieved to have gotten so many other things taken care of. I love being able to cross things off the list! 

Anyway, I don't have any tid bits of wisdom this time just many updates! 

Happy Springtime!

Wedding on the Mind!

Good Evening All!

I had a lovely weekend visiting with my sister and we got lots of wedding plan done! Or thoughts organized anyway. Bridesmaid dress shopping has begun- the girls will look gorgeous in shades of grey! Plants kits just might make the perfect eco-friendly favor that I am looking for! And envelopes have been addressed for save-the-dates!

With 2 cake tastings and a meeting with a photographer more plans will be underway this weekend! The ideas are swirling in my head and it seems they are finally starting to fit together. Here are a few pics of ideas that just might show up at our wedding!

Succulents make great favors- GWS

I love this twine wrapped table number.
From Style Me Pretty.


Tons of Photo booth props! SMP

Love their dresses and hair accessories! GWS

This little bookcase is not only a great decorative piece but
houses some of the bride and grooms favorite things! GWS
My biggest predicament is figuring out what I want to do for music! DJ's freak me out- they talk in weird voices and play music that I would never want to listen to. Bands can be limiting and although Ipods are 100% personalized, they can't cater to how everyone is feeling at the moment. One thing that would really help me is if people would actually use our reception music request page on our wedding website! So if you haven't checked that out do it now! We're thinking of doing a band for a little because I love the idea of having live music and then just doing an ipod playlist for the rest of the time. We'll see how that plays out. Suggestions greatly appreciated here! 

Happy Planning
