A Wedding Update

I just about had a heart attack when I realized that my wedding was less than 5 months away. With my mom going out of town for a month next week we decided to have a wedding weekend! We met with a florist who was AMAZING (Let's just hope her quote isn't ridiculous!!), a linen company (way too pushy for my taste), and we emailed a DJ. We also got my bustier for my dress!! SO exciting! It finally feels like it is really coming true.

I have made the first mock invitation and all three versions of the programs! I never thought I would be crafty enough to make them myself in Word but I did it and I am soo proud of myself for how they turned out!

The first bridesmaids dress came in at Davids Bridal this week so I went and picked up Shelby's dress!! It's amazing in the color (Marine) and I took tons of picture of it before she came to pick it up and a few of her in it wearing the shoes and everything! It's soo beautiful and I am so excited. Unfortunately my computer crashed when I was going to upload them so that is on hold for now.

Wedding Wedding Wedding... it finally feels real and I'm totally freaking out. <3

Actually Getting Into This Wedding Stuff

So, It has been forever since I have updated what we've been up to with wedding planning. That whole buying a house thing kind of put a damper on my wedding planning. We have officially been engaged for an ENTIRE YEAR! I can't even believe it. I have gotten so much done in the last few weeks it's amazing:
- Invitations - I did them ALL by myself with word art and text boxes - they are not at all traditional but I am totally in love with them
- I FINALLY bought my wedding dress. After being engaged for a year and 3 days I finally broke down and actually bought a dress. My dress is wonderful. I would love to post a picture but I don't want Michael to somehow magically get on here and see it! :] Now I patiently wait for 4-5 months for it to come!!
- Cake Taste Testing - We met with Maribel from Maribel's Dream Cakes - she is the most adorable little lady!! She did our friends Mikey and Kristin's wedding cake and also our friends Michael and Vanessa's cake for their wedding! We decided on a Banana Cake and a Marble Cake, DELICIOUS!
- Caterer - we went and had breakfast at our Caterer's restaurant and went over food and budgets and stuff
- Florist - been emailing with a couple florists to get quotes on our bouquets and unfortunately breaking Michael's heart about not getting boutonnieres.
- Shoes - I found the shoes for the bridesmaids! I now just need to figure out what I am going to do for my shoes...
- Bridesmaid Dress Shopping - Coming up on February 18th!! I can't wait. I'm so excited!!!

Wedding Wedding Wedding.. 192 days until my Wedding!
