Pro Pictures & Vendor Review

Labels: , , - Monday, June 07, 2010

I'm going to share the link from my photographer to our pictures! I'll be getting a cd with the images on it sometime, but until then you can enjoy the pictures on his website. http://potterwedding.joshcraven.net/


My vendor review for:
Josh Craven

A+

I couldn't be more pleased with how our pictures (engagement & wedding) turned out! Josh is new to the field and is in the midst of starting his own photography business. If you're looking for a photographer I have complete confidence that Josh can meet your needs!

Bridal Portraits

Labels: , , - Thursday, June 03, 2010




I was dying to post these before the wedding but couldn't since FI knew about the blog.

My vendor review for:
D. Kirby Photography
A+

I am more than happy with the service I received from this photographer. I contacted him on the late side (3 weeks before the wedding) and he worked me! I would have loved to have my bridal portraits taken outside, but in the end I was completely happy with the studio portraits he did. He had my pictures posted four days (I had them taken on Friday, they were posted the following Monday) after he took them for me to order by. I e-mailed Wednesday before our Saturday wedding and we were able to pick up the print Friday afternoon! He was very budget friendly and a great photographer to work with!




Honeymoon Over

Labels: - Tuesday, June 01, 2010

Today marks the first day in eleven that I haven't been with my husband the entire day! I have to be honest and saying that I certainly had husband withdrawals today. 

We each returned to work today, after returning from our honeymoon yesterday afternoon. Our honeymoon was very relaxing and enjoyable. We had the most beautiful wedding day I could have ever imagined and our honeymoon was just as wonderful! I got a message from the photographer asking when I could get the CD of photos from him! I can't wait to start sharing all the pictures from the wedding with you all! I have honeymoon pictures that I'll start sharing with you sometime this week! :)

We're Married

- Monday, May 24, 2010

Hey bloggy friends! I'm sorry I haven't been here to share what's going on in our life! It was a very hectic couple of days (Friday & Saturday) but I'm thrilled to tell you that the wedding went off without a hitch! Everything was beautiful....better than I could have ever imagined! I don't have many pictures, other than the ones that were taken with my camera throughout the day (no ceremony pics). My HUSBAND and I are getting ready to head off to bed for the night, so I'll have to share some of the pictures tomorrow! Keep your eyes peeled....

Final Countdown...

- Thursday, May 20, 2010

2 more days; one of which I count as half a wedding day since we'll be decorating & rehearsing. 

Last night FI took took me over to our house and pleasantly surprised me with ELECTRICITY! I house has power now and that means we can continue to work there (not until after the honeymoon) when it gets dark! 

My list of errands/chores for today (Thursday - 2 days till wedding bliss):
1) get ring cleaned
2) bake & decorate grooms cake
3) get mani/pedi
4) wash all my clothes
5) pack for the honeymoon
6) make FI's truck payment
7) take pans to mammy for reception food
8) load everything for the wedding into the Jeep (separated by Sanctuary & Fellowship Hall)
9) make reserved signs for bridal party tables
10) print pictures for card box
11) make card box (this one is all on FI....if he doesn't get it done, we won't be having it! he's had more than 3 months to get this project completed!)
I'm pleased to say that I'm done with this list with the exception of packing, baking the cake, & loading everything for the wedding into the Jeep, which I'm working on all three as I type this (I'm a great multitasker :P). 

My list of errands/chores for tomorrow (Friday - 1 days till wedding bliss):
1) get a tarp to put the chicken on in the cooler
2) wilkesboro to pick up the chicken for reception
3) leave chicken @ Carla's in the cooler
4) check with Carla about the rolls
5) pick-up bridal portrait from D. Kirby Photography
6) decorate the sanctuary first
7) decorate the fellowship hall
8) REHEARSE THE CEREMONY
9) eat & enjoy friends & family
10) REST & SLEEP!!!!

I'm pretty pleased with how everything has went down...smoothly and without issue! I'm sure there will be some problems arise tomorrow and even Saturday, but I know that all will be OK because regardless of what happens, I'm still going to be FI's wife @ the end of the day Saturday and that's all that matters!

PICTURES....Finally

Labels: , , , - Wednesday, May 12, 2010

I decided since I can't ever stop at home long enough to show you some pictures that I'd just bring my camera to work and add them to the blog before everything gets so busy!

We'll start with the ring bearer pillow flower. I bought it at Hobby Lobby (50% $1.47) and decided to try and tea dye it. It worked perfectly! Here is the flower that will be added to the ring bearers pillow in the next couple of days:

Here's the garter that I bought from a fellow knottie that didn't use it. It was white & boring when it arrived so I decided to srpuce it up a little! This will stand in as my something blue (along with my flowers). This isn't a very good picture showing the true color but you get the point. I used Dylon Bahama Mama dye to make this beauty!

I have pictures from my 'final fitting' but I can't share them...FI would see. I'll share them after the wedding :)

And lastly, I have pictures from my bachelorette party!
Meet my sister & MOH, S!
Meet my childhood friend & bridesmaid, A.
Meet me...the bride :)
Meet my childhood friend and bridesmaid, Lail, trying to show me how to work that lingerie!
And here's Lail in her normal state :)
Meet my childhood friend and bridesmaid, Lis.
And this is my high school friend and attendant, aMa.
My other attendant (Mia) wasn't able to make the party because she was sick...SHE'S PREGNANT and we're so excited for her & her husband!

Now that I've finally showed you all the pictures from my camera I can stop feeling guilty for not having good updates with pictures :) FI is going to be painting the house today, I'm pretty sure...so hopefully I'll have pictures of our newly built (the inside at least) house with some color/personality to it! :)
