License to wed

We went and got our marriage license Tuesday afternoon. The list of things to do is getting smaller and smaller by the day. I'm starting to get more and more excited as the stress melts away slowly. Wedding planning is stressful as is, but even more so when a good portion of the planning is D.I.Y. stuff.

I had planned on doing my own flowers, but I think I've decided to go ahead and get them done instead. Luckily for me, with my large network of Facebook friends, it looks like I have found someone that will do them for much less than the florist. I'm really thankful that I know so many people who are willing to help out, I don't think I could have pulled this off without everyone.

26 more days!

Until next time..

All the small things

Now that most of the big stuff is out of the way, I'm going nuts over the little details like what ribbon I will use to tie my favors with and what songs I want on the playlist for the small reception. Oh!..and if I want light blue pearl sprinkles with white frosting for my cupcakes, or vice versa.

To make matters even better, I've began having bridal nightmares. Its always something ridiculous like sleeping through my ceremony, or suddenly wearing an ugly wedding dress. I seriously have one every night, and its making my my wedding day check-list so much longer. Totally setting 8 different alarms the morning of the wedding :)

So, friends- tell me your opinions! What kind of cupcakes do you think will look the nicest, and what songs do you think are must-haves on a wedding playlist?

Until next time..

Less than one month away!

We've gotten so much done in the past few weeks.

Black Friday (one of my favorite days of the year) I got the main component of our favors. We will be getting the other parts sometime in the next week or so, and putting them together.

Nick's suit is sitting in the closet, just waiting for shoes, and I have my dress fitting next week. Hopefully, this one goes better than last. I don't know what I was thinking booking my last one the day after Thanksgiving! We both got our wedding rings in on Friday, I can't wait to wear mine, it looks so pretty with my engagement ring. I made appointments for my hair trial, and of course my wedding day, but need to find a make-up artist still. If anyone actually reads this and has any ideas, let me know.

This weekend, we also finished paying for our venues and our honeymoon.We also reserved a hotel room by the airport for our wedding night. We figured it would be much easier to just stay up there and park the car than have to come home after the reception and then leave early the next morning. It looks like we've found a house sitter, so that's one less thing to worry about as well.

My bridal shower and bachelorette party are on the 7th and I'm starting to get really excited. I'm going to work on getting all my addresses together tonight and tomorrow so we can send out invites sometime this week. I should probably do a registry somewhere as well I suppose. Is it frowned upon to register at a bank?! ;)

Next up: buying a cupcake tower/discussing cupcakes with Amanda and arranging flowers. 

Until next time..
