Projects

October 11th, 2008

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!

Things are coming along with planning.  We have pretty much everything together for the ceremony, which is a nice amount of stuff to check off the list.  I also designed our invitations this weekend, so as soon as we get the paper, I will be able to start putting them all together. That felt like a huge accomplishment, so I was very excited.  We also started buying some of the small items for the favors, so its fun to start seeing all of the stuff come in.

The girls and I went shopping a few weeks ago and found great dresses for them.  They all love them, which makes me happy.  The dresses are going to be pink with a brown sash around the waist.  It’s super cute!

Rob & I also picked out our honeymoon location today, which is very exciting.  We will be staying at two different all-inclusive resorts in St. Lucia.  One of them is so neat.  Its named Ladera and it is up on a cliff overlooking the ocean.  All of the rooms have their own pool, and the best part is that all of the rooms have only 2 walls, so the rooms are very open.  The beds have a netting over them so no bugs can get in while you are sleeping.  We are very psyched about it.

Well thats all for now, I will continue updating as things come up.
