Lavender Bouquet?

Recently, I have become very interested in wedding bouquets. What do you think of lavender? I never really knew what lavender flowers looked like until recently. The look of the lavender not only matches our color scheme but I think it also adds to our simple and natural feel. I recently ordered a small arrangement of lavender just so I could see it in person and boy does it smell great! I don't think I will have a bouquet of just lavender, however, I think it HAS to be a part of the bouquet. As an added bonus, the lavender aroma has a calming effect! I think the calming smell of lavender would be welcomed on the big day! :)


378 days until the our wedding day! Almost one year away! Yipppeeee!!!!!

Invitations!

We had an opportunity to have our wedding invitations printed for free! We just had to pay for the paper and the envelopes!! We couldn't pass up this money saving opportunity!!

They're beautiful and i think they really reflect our "theme" and style. We actually designed them ourselves- we searched the internet for the design and the fonts. Then our friend Marc, put them together with a special program. They're awesome! Check them out for yourself!!



We also had reception cards (containing info about the reception) and RSVP cards printed but they look very similar with the grass design at the bottom.

We love them! The green! The design! The fonts! They're just lovely!


Sending love your way!!

425 days!

!Wow! Only 425 days away. Okay- so we still have a lot of time until we reach out big day, but I am so glad that we are waiting. This summer will be very stressful because Nick is finishing his thesis and graduating, I will be looking for a new teaching job, Nick will be pursuing a job and we will be moving (most likely to a new state). Yikes...when I type that all together it makes me feel a little stressed. Deep breaths. Just think, one year from now we will be much more established! Nick and I enjoy dreaming about out big day, it has been very fun to be engaged and enjoy the journey!

Nick and I recently read about a unique type of men's wedding ring that contains parts of a meteorite!! Yes, a meteorite....from space! Wouldn't this be perfect for Nick?

Check out the website that has the meteorite rings for sale!!

As for me, I am still dreaming about what my wedding band will look like. I think we have plenty of time before we need to truly worry about that!

Lots of love!

Guitar or Cello/Violin or Both or What?

We have been dreaming about our wedding music lately. What will we have? We have a very talented friend who could sing and play the guitar. We have access to a couple local high school kids who plays cello and violin.

The cello/violin has a traditional touch and feel. Which is something both Nick and I desire. However, guitar music would just fit perfectly outside AND we love guitar music! Hmmm.....

Back to dreaming and enjoying life. 440 days left!!

THE DRESS

We got the dress! What it looks like must remain a secret until the big day! I have shown a few family and friends but Nick must remain in the dark. It's so hard to keep it a secret. I wish that I could tell Nick all about it! I know he'll love it.

I tried on 10 dresses. "The One" was the third dress I tried on. I didn't know right away but I knew that it was my favorite of all of the dresses. The second time I put the dress on, I cried. It was at that point that I knew. :)

It really feels great to have the dress!
