They've come!

OUR INVITATIONS have come.... to my email box.

I've made changes and should get the final proof this week (hopefully)!

And then I'll have them in my hands in 7-10 days! AHHHHH! It'll totally feel real at that point.

Not to say that it doesn't feel real now... but once I'm holding an invitation with our names on it... it'll be legit. You know?!

Here's a teeny-tiny sneak peak:

=)

Let's not forget...

...this is my true inspiration! ♥

More inspiration

Perfect!

So, I found this wedding on The Knot! and I think it's beautiful! I love the light pink and blush. I love the black chiavari chairs with the white chair pads. I love the hanging lanterns [although I don't think they're possible]. I love, love, love everything about it.


These flower arrangements were on each guest table at this same wedding. I love that they're small & simple. This is just what I want!


Same wedding! It's so pretty! I love it!! I know I want an all white cake, and I've never seen anything like this before! It's fantastic!

What a wedding crush, I have. ♥

A day off for me....

... means talking about the wedding to whoever will listen! =)

I spent my day in Mendon with the usual crowd plus special guests Lindsey and Lois! Us, "brides" talked [pretty much] nonstop about our wedding plans, what we've done, what we need to do, what we want to do, what we don't have money to do, and what we don't have money to do but will do anyway. =)

Now, I'm second guessing my decision of black, white & pink. I can't stick to anything!

I just can't imagine things! I need displays of all my table setting ideas...

DECISION MADE!

Black, white & pink!

Same stuff, different source!

I love it! I just can't picture it...

Color Possibility!

Update!

So, today we met with Justice Thomas Welch at his home. The meeting went very well. He explained everything that would happen, gave us handouts and described things he would say, and why and what their meaning and relevance was to us. It was really perfect, and easy and he had an amazing house with three dogs. So... you know -- we're contacting him tomorrow to tell him we would love for him to be a part of our day.

And another plus -- is that he performs several weddings a month at our venue -- so he's familiar with it. =)

We also met with Damien Gaudet and just loved his work! We love that he captures the whole day from getting ready to dancing at the reception and he does it all through a photojournalistic style. It looks so beautiful and we'll receive all the pictures in both color and black & white. I love that! I'm going to contact him tomorrow, as well.

Also, I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with purple as my color. =)

So now, I need a DJ -- ASAP.

It's been a few days...

FROM THE KNOT!:
Guests’ tables were named with Chinese characters for marriage-themed words, like “wealth” and “luck.” The corresponding symbol appeared on the escort cards.

So, I know, I know -- it's been a few days since "our" last post. Not that I haven't been searching through wedding books, magazines and websites in my "free"-time, [pretty much anytime I'm home...] the problem is - I've seen it all! I'm bored with the same old things.

This is not to say I don't see cute ideas and want to post right away! Sometimes, I do... for example: above! But, lately, I've had so many ideas in my head I'm not sure which ones I can forget about and which ones I want to follow through on. It's a problem!

There are four things I'm trying to focus on:

1. Photographer - we have a meeting with one on Saturday
2. DJ - we're still up in the air on that one...
3. Officiant - we have a meeting with one on Saturday
4. picking a color! I just, cannot, decide

The problem with not having a color is that it really puts a damper on any "DIY" projects because I don't know what colors I want, yet. So, instead of going out and being proactive and getting a major head start on these projects - I just search and search for more ideas leaving all my others behind. So sad.

My immediate goal is to pick a color within the next week. It's just such a decision!
