I have wedding project updates for everyone!

I began working on my cake server set; I'm stringing beads onto fishing line to wrap around the handles. I've completed one of the two. Here it is just before I finished it up:

I'm getting ready to start on the ring bearer pillow, so I should (hopefully) have pictures of it tonight. EDIT: Here are the pictures of the mostly finished product. Now I just have to add some pretty ribbon!


Haha...I wouldn't let Daisy in the chair with me while I was stuffing the pillow, so she just crawled up in the basket of clothes by my feet and took a nap! :)

I've finished up separating all of the candies for the favors (I'll post pics later!). EDIT: Here is a picture of my favors all zipped up tight in a baggie so they stay fresh!

I finished up making all of the tulle poofs (through step 2 - ready to be hung). I stopped putting the fishing line through them because they were getting tangled. We'll save that part and the fluffing for the week or two before the wedding. EDIT: Here are the pictures of my tulle poofs (some finished, some unfinished).

I think that's all for now. I'll bring you pictures this evening!

I feel like sharing a helpful (to me anyway) blog today! Visit here for craft store coupons! It's always nice to have a quick link to visit to get all the current craft store coupons for a quick trip to pick up something wedding related.

Checking In

Labels: - Wednesday, March 31, 2010

Hello blog followers! I'm dropping by to let you know.....there has been no progress on the wedding front so far this week.

Recently completed item (hehe, only one thing to share!):
- Separated the candy into blue, purple, pink and put 15/20 candies in each bag.

Still need to complete:
- Ceremony Programs
- Buy tulle to line the aisle
- Borrow lights to line the aisle
- Make many more pomanders
- Wrap the wreaths with ribbon
- Find unity candle holder
- Perfect the BM bouquets
- Talk to the florist about my bouquet
- Figure out how to make boutonnières
- Find a guest book & pen
- Make "In Memory of" candles
- Mail sheet music to pianist
- Choose the rest of music for Ceremony (pre-wedding music, bridal party entrance, my entrance, and recesional)
- Find stand/table for unity candle to sit on
- Make ring bearer pillow
- Slideshow (maybe)
- Order table clothes for all tables for Reception
- Get flowers to finish centerpieces
- Buy drinks and dinnerware for Reception
- Buy garter
- Finish making tulle poofs for windows (Reception)
- Finalize Cake details
- Print & assemble coloring books for the young ones

I think that's it for now, at least that's all that I have on my list. I'm sure it will grow in the next few weeks, but I hope to get some of this stuff knocked off the list since I have a 4-day weekend coming up!

As Promised....Pictures!

Labels: , , , , - Saturday, March 27, 2010

I come bearing many pictures.

Pictures of attire for the groom, groomsmen, and ring bearers.
Groom will be in the blue, all groomsmen will be in the lavender.
Our three ring bearers will be wearing this outfit, maybe with khaki pants instead of the shorts (FI isn't fond of them wearing shorts in church).

I'll be adding some pictures from a bestie's wedding (tomorrow)! Enjoy!

Attire Check

I'm SOOOO excited and relieved to mark another task off the to-do list! FI and I went tonight to find suit pants for him and the GM's tonight and we found them @ JcPenny! We found the pants so quickly that we moved on to picking out shirts for all the GM & FI and got all of them with the exception of the Best Man's b/c they didn't have the color to match the MOH's dress. Our gift to the GM are their ties, so we found ties for everyone tonight as well...and they match the pattern on FI's tie! :) I'll have to wait and post pictures tomorrow!

I HIGHLY recommend brides looking for khaki suits (ours were linen look pants by Stafford) to check out JcPenny! We got the pants for $34/each (on sale & we used a coupon) making the total cost for each GM only $51! :)

::beaming with joy::

My sister and I are heading to a warehouse sale tomorrow for Shoe Show and I'm hoping to find me and FI some shoes to wear for the wedding. Maybe I'll have more than just groom/groomsmen pants/shirts/ties to share tomorrow! :)

Music

Labels: , , - Wednesday, March 24, 2010

We've finally picked two definite songs that we'll be using during the ceremony. Here is the first one (it will be used during our Unity Candle lighting and possibly a short slideshow of us.

Here is the second one that we've made a definite decision on. We'll be playing this one as our parents enter the church.

To Veil, or Not to Veil...

Labels: , -

I have struggled with this for a while now and I really need to get choose one way or the other. I'm not 100% sure about how to wear my hair until I go for my trial and see how it works out, but I've chosen to do a side pony. Something along the lines of this:
Only with a flower like this:

Or a veil like this:
Or both like this:
The first bride only wore a veil (from what I can tell) and it looks just fine. The second bride above used a hair fascinator AND a veil, and I think it looks fine together as well. I just can't decide what to do. Maybe I'll get a veil and a fascinator to take to my hair trial and decide what to do then...that makes the most sense I guess.

How are you wearing your hair? Have you decided veil/no veil?
