SO I thought I would take this time to update you all on what has been done so far! I have a wonderful lady from church helping me do all this! She's already helped make me a mock table, and some decorations. She is SOOO CREATIVE! I love it! For those of you who don't know, my theme is polka dots! My colors are pink, yellow, orange, bright green, turquoise, and we've recently added purple to the mix as well! So very bright and springy!
These will be the center pieces! Don't you just LOVE them?! Inside of them will be jewels, come on now, you know me! Things have to be sparkly! Recently I bought a bunch of pots, sticks, and papers. We'll be using white table clothes and cut out a bunch of circles to decorate it with. Then have this on there as well!
This is a cute suitcase that Jen turned into a card box!
And here is a small scale of the things I have started buying! But needless to say, my office is turning into wedding decorations central! We'll be using LOTS AND LOTS of paper lanterns in allll the colors! Of course, we'll add daisies to the mix, and those little balls you see, are tooth picks with paper lanterns on top of them! Josh gets the credit for finding those!
I just bought the patterns for the bridesmaids and Torey a week ago! Now, if only I could find that exact fabric for the bridesmaid, I would be in heaven! That's my next goal, (after the passports) find all the girls fabric!
The project I started this last weekend, the girl's shoes! So far, I just have Torey's (the purple) and Jessica, my maid of honor's done! I still have Kat's and Krissy's to do! Kat is yellow, Krissy is green! The groomsmen will be wearing the same color tie as their opposing bridesmaid. Poor Timmy, Josh's brother, gets stuck with pink! ;)
These delicious looking things here, are called Brownie pops! Polka dots on a stick! These were also Josh's idea! These will be the wedding favors! I'm excited because they are super easy to make!
And lastly, I went to a bridal fair this last weekend and was able to get my hair done! I am in love with this do! Of course, I'll probably try a few others before the actual time comes, but I don't know...this is so chic and simple, AND makes me look like I have a lot more hair than I actually do! I just might have to go with this! But like the dress, I'm going to have to try several on before I make the ultimate decision!
Today, I have been working on getting everything out of my head and out on paper. At the fair I got a 3 ring binder to keep everything in. So I filled it with more organized lists of things I need to buy and do before the day comes. And I must say, it was very, VERY overwhelming. I had to quit for a little while because I was getting so stressed! People laugh at how panicked I am, though the wedding isn't for 9 months. But you know what?! I say, get all the stress out now, so by the time the day comes, I'll be calm as can be....I hope.... ;)
I keep gettingmore and more excited everyday! (and stressed...) I hope many of you can make it and share Josh and I's special day together! Trust me, you don't want to miss this. There are several things that I have up my sleeve that I won't be posting... gotta keep some things a surprise so people will actually come!
wow!
