I just got FB mail from the friend that will be doing the photography at our wedding! Our engagement pics are ready for pick up after five today!

We did our photo shoot a couple weekends ago at the fire department where my FI is a volunteer firefighter as well as at a local park in town. I can't wait to see these and I will surely post some teasers when I get the cd this evening! I'm uber excited! Here are some teasers:

Pearl's Place Review

Pearl's Place Review
A++++
Wonderful customer service and very reliable and quick shipping. I can 't rave enough about this little boutique and definitely recomend it to anyone looking for some savings (they saved me $200 for my dress). I received my dress more than a month early. I will hopefully have more good reviews after we order the BM dresses from there.

IT'S HERE!

It arrived today. I couldn't believe that it arrived so quickly as it wasn't supposed to be here until the end of November. A whole month early! If I had to have a wedding tomorrow, I could now. So have you guessed what I'm talking about yet? MY DRESS! It came today! I'm thrilled and excited, and many many many more emotions about this arrival. Of course no pictures here b/c my wonderful FI can navigate to this page. Please e-mail me if you want pictures @ jandmwedding2010@gmail.com ::SQUEALING:: :)

Envelope Lining

Labels: Cards and Pockets, DIY, Envelopes, Liners, Wrapping Paper - Friday, October 02, 2009

While I was in the mood for some wedding stuff this afternoon, I also got out the wrapping paper my mom and I bought to line the envelopes with. I was kind of nervous after I realized I have ivory envelopes and the paper was white. After completing one and seeing it in day light, I think it looks fine. I think for the rest, I'll change the direction of the liner so that the writings/graphics appear as if you were reading a book. I'm pleased with the outcome!

RSVP's

I designed the front of the RSVP postcard last evening. I'm pleased with the way it turned out. I used Scrapblog (www.Scrapblog.com)for the background and pulled the jpeg into Publisher to add the finishing touches. What do you think?

The back hasn't been designed yet as I was going to personalize each RSVP so guests will know exactly who is invited. I'm thinking I'll just order the postcards with a blank back from Vistaprint and print the back myself. We'll see!

Monogram Cake Topper

Labels: Cake Topper, Crafty Eddie, Monogram, Threadart - Friday, September 25, 2009

I started on my monogram cake topper last night and finished up this afternoon! I'm IN LOVE with it. I didn't put out the money for the swarovski crystals, I just bought hotfix rhinestones. I bought 1440 aquamarine 10SS rhinestones from www.threadart.com. I am not sure how many I had to use, but I know it was less than half of them. I'm very pleased with the end product! Now I've got to get FI convinced to use this and ONLY this one as our topper.

This shows the color a little better...

And one more, my sweet Daisy trying to figure out what I'm holding!

RINGS!

Labels: Babb's Jewelry, Bands - Friday, September 18, 2009

I went by the jewelry store were FI got my engagement ring this morning while I was out running errands. I was thrilled to find the bands that I will be wearing for eternity! :) I don't have pictures of it yet, but when I stop back by there in a little bit, I'm going to see if they will let me take pictures of the three together. It's a little more than what I wanted to pay, but I LOVE them and the sweet lady is going to cut me a deal since I'm buying one for each side of my ring.

Pictures to follow!!!
Update:

Here they are together! I'm in love!
