I pretty much spent the entire weekend working on wedding projects…and I actually had a fantastic time. I made a HUGE dent in my invitations (which I realize don’t have to be done for a good 4 months, but since they hae been sitting there half finished for six it felt great). I even had some time to work on my favorite wedding project…the bridesmaids gifts. Im trying to do something special for them, and I found the perfect project and have been working on it here and there for the past few months.
The craziest thing is, there is exactly 6 monts to the wedding. Six months from now we will be dancing the night away having the greatest time of our lives. I can’t wait! I am probably more prepared then anyone has ever been at this point in time. The only thing I still have to book is the limo and the tuxes(although I do have a style picked out). All other decisions have been made and vendors have been hired. It’s pretty crazy to me to think that with six full months to the wedding I barely have anything to do…I guess that means I will have to find more projects to keep me busy
The one other item that I still need to find is my shoes. I had some amazing shoes picked out, but when I tried my dress on a few weeks ago I found out they will be much to tall. If anyone has any idea where I can find cute 1″ white heels please let me know, because I am all out of ideas!

I have been doing a lot of browsing online for wedding ideas latley and have found a ton of Do It Yourself (DIY) projects. I had always known that I was going to do my invitations and prorams myself…but I have found a ton of new projects to add to the list. I figured since we still had so much time, and I have most of the big items completed, these projects would give me something fun to keep me busy.
Between work, school and working on my invitations I hadn’t had a ton of time to actually get many of the fun projects started until this weekend. I actually finished one of my projects. I created some “Reserved” signs for the chairs at the reception. I know that was probably the least important project on my list right now, but it felt so good to complete it and it was a lot of fun to do.
I think what got m in the wedding spirit again was visiting my dress today with Krystle. She and I went to order her dress and then stopped at my bridal store to try my gown on with some headpieces. When I put my gown on it fit like a glove. I was so excited that I didn’t want to take it off when it was time to leave. We even found some headpieces that we liked…which made it even more fun!
Well it’s been a great day today. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with the blog more now that the wedding is getting closer and I will be giving it more attention!
