*finally another post! WOO! 88 days to go!!*

Oh lord. It has been almost 3 months since I have posted in this blog! And LESS than 3 months until we are married! AHHHHHH

88 days!! whaaat?? haha

Ok, so I'm just going to jump right into what's new:

Invitation madness. They are ALMOST done. This Saturday will be the last of it! And then they will FINALLY be mailed out! I know they're not late going out or anything.. it just seems like we have been working on them for forever already. And we have. lol.

the whole shebang

Pammie hard at work!

150! We spent 4 hours just cutting the pocketfolds that day. lol.

They are so gorgeous now and ALMOST done. I will take more pics of the finished product this weekend! I kept meaning to take pics of them step by step but oh well. I love the font we chose also. It's so nerdy. I hope a few people get it. >:D

Bailey got me pearls for Christmas! They will be part of my wedding day ensemble <3

The last two bridesmaids have their dresses & shoes now!

Casey:

And Jen:

I also finally ordered the girls' petticoats! I decided on Etsy seller: dynamitejetboutique

http://www.etsy.com/shop/dynamitejetboutique

Here are some progress pics she sent me:

And I got an email from her tonite saying that they are finished!! She's posting pics later & I can't waaaait to see!!

p.s. She is AMAZING to work with. She has been so freaking helpful. And before I had officially decided on working with her I asked her for some swatches and THIS is what she sent me:

SO freaking thorough & helpful!! I mean, holy crap! She has seriously been amazing to work with so far. I can't say enough good things about her! <3

I still don't have my wedding band yet but these are two that I was THINKING about using..

the studded looking one obv.

or:

or maybe something more traditional! I just don't knowwwww!!

AND OH HEY! My baby sister also got engaged a few weeks ago!!

YAYYYY!!! So it looks like I'll be jumping headfirst into MORE wedding planning as soon as ours is over and done with! haha

Ok, I think that's all I've got for right now. There will be a hair & makeup post coming SOON. And I seriously need some input & opinions <3>

*ring!*

I bought Bailey's ring the other day!

I cant waaaait to see it in person!

It's not a surprise anymore though. WOMP.
I had to ask him a few questions about ring size etc and he finally asked me that night if I bought it and I'm the worst liar EVER so yeah.. he knows now. haha. Oh well.

April & I went to Goodwill this weekend and picked up a TON of vases because why not? We'll use them for centerpieces etc. :]
We also had lunch with Pammie that day and we figured out a lot of the logistics of the reception. Yay!

:D

*woo!*

April's petticoat came in the mail today!! And I of course texted her immediately and asked if I could open it. LOL
Now she just needs to get hooooome so I can see the whole outfit allll together! :] Excite!

I think we are pretty set on booking our reception at Marker 107.. the restaurant I posted pics of earlier. I heard back from Dana, the lady who is opening the place, and everything sounds good! My mom said to go ahead and plan on it then.
I also checked out the tide charts for that day and hide tide peaks at 6:45 that night which is PERFECT.

Also, I found a ring yesterday that I really like on Overstock.com. We are still going to go see a jeweler about how much it would cost to reset the stones from Bailey's mom's wedding bands into white gold.. and we'll get/do whichever one works out to cost less! :D
This is the one I found on Overstock:

It matches my sapphire engagement ring & I think it would fit the shape of my e-ring. I didnt want to get a normal straight band because it wont sit flush with my e-ring, but I dont want one that is bent just to fit around it because then it would look funny if I wanted to wear my wedding band alone.

Oh well, we'll see!
