Made My Veil!

I made my veil yesterday! It wasn't too hard. I read up on it online, and every website said it was so easy. I bought some fabric, a comb, and some crystals. I did a trial run Monday night, and then made my actual one last night. It's not completed yet, there's still a few finishing touches that I'd like to do. I'll post pictures when I'm done!

Also, I've been receiving a TON of positive feed back on our save the date cards. I guess hard work and determination really does pay off! ;oP

Picked Up My Wedding Dress

I'm so excited! I picked up my wedding dress yesterday, and I am still so absolutely in love with it! I couldn't believe that it was finally here! It makes it seem just so real! I can't wait until I can wear it. I had a hard time leaving it at my parents, but am not risking Matt seeing it! I'll visit it often...

My dress is in!

While I've been putting off wedding planning due to a recent death in my circle of friends, I did hear some good news today. Or, at least something that lifted my spirits a little. I did receive a call today letting me know that my wedding dress is in. I hope to be able to pick it up within the next week. I'll update when I pick up my dress!

Also, I've hired a Day of Coordinator. Fairly inexpensive, under $300. I'm happy to have that checked off my list. And, my mom will be talking to a friend of my sisters to hire her as a cantor and a pianist for the ceremony.

I don't know when I'll be in the mood to start wedding planning again, hopefully I'll be able to put this behind me soon. It is a haunting situation, and I cannot think of anything else but what has happened.

STD's are OUT!

Finally! After many many weeks of cutting, scoring, and stuffing... our save the dates went out today!! We've been handing them out to friends, but the rest of our guests will hopefully be getting them soon.

I only have a few more things to check off, then I'm done!! I plan on going to an invitation store to try to look at envelopements. You can't buy them from the online store, but they look really good, and hopefully be affordable.
I'm also hoping that I can get an appointment with the cake maker soon. Hopefully within the month.
In other news, we have a new addition to the family! Well, kind of. I've taken in an adorable, absolutely sweet little puppy! I'm hoping to find her a home, but until then, she'll be staying with us, and we'll be trying to train her and make her into a good pet! Yay! Will keep updated on our adventures of training, and finding Addison a home!

Bridesmaids Dresses: Check!!!

Finally! We've decided on a dress! Originally I was going to let my girls pick whatever dress they wanted by Melissa Sweet as long as it came in the color Atlantis. After a couple of trips to the dress store, my bm's all decided they wanted the same dress! So, we will be ordering them in a couple of days/a week, hopefully! I'm just waiting on two more girls for payment! My maid of honor will still have the previous dress, but the girls decided on MS120 for theirs, minus the black band.

On another note, I'm a little worried. I tried on my dress (the sample) for my girls while I was there. The dress fit me perfectly, which was a 8 and the same sample dress I tried on when I purchased the dress originally. When I ordered, they told me they were getting me a 4, apparently I was a "perfect" 4. I kind of started freaking out... they assured me that it will fit, and that it's only 1 inch difference between the 4 and the 8, but I'm still a little scared it won't fit. I guess I'll just have to start running and working out to lose some of those lbs!!!

Lamenting over STD's!

It seems that we're having issues with these STD's. I thought that I was saving money on my STD's by getting free postcards and doing everything DIY, rather than purchasing everything from a store or something. Now, it seems that I am having some major issues. Apparently, because of the magnet and size of my postcards, stamps are going to be really expensive for mailing. Ugh! So, now I'm starting over, and having some major issues! I just wish something would work out right!!!

In other news, Mo and Jenny have picked their dresses for the wedding! Yay!! So, here are pictures of each.

Update on envelopes

I made a quick trip to my post office today. When I first got there, the line was LONG. I thought, "crap, I'm going to have to wait for a half a hour just to make sure I can use this envelope... nice...". Well, lucky for me, there was a woman who was walking up the line asking if there were just little things that she could help out with. I asked her about my envelopes and she said that I could use them. She measured the envelope, and told me that I would have to just pay .62 cents rather than .42 cents. It ends up being about $17 more in the long run, but it's worth it so I won't have to start all over again!!! Yay!
