Princess Wands

While shopping back when for some wedding supplies; I cam across these princess wands. They had to be put together which is why I found them at a craft store for .49 cents. I picked them up for the flower girls as a gift. They were pretty simple to put together. It asked for them to be glued together with craft glue but I ended up using a hot glue gun since I know they will not last long.
I just think they are so cute!

Wedding Shoes

Yesterday I went out with a friend for lunch but before lunch I stopped at Fashion Bug because I was running early like usual. They were having a clearance sale where you buy on item and the second item for $5.00. Well I was not planning on buying anything but I did.

I found the perfect well almost perfect shoes for the wedding. For the wedding I was looking pink shoes because pink and brown are my favorite colors. Well I found these red shoes that are amazing and so comforty even though I only had them on for a few minutes.

73 days until

Time is really flying now! We have only 73 days until the big day which is really exciting. The bad thing is we still have tons of things to do in the mean time. Love planning the big day but at times I wish it would plan for it self.

Over the weekend we had another counseling meeting which went well but got us thinking about the actually ceremony and how we want things to go. I never really thought about the actual ceremony. I know we are doing an unity candle ceremony but we have not thought about if we are doing traditional vows or what not. So the next month we are going to be thinking about that!

On the 8th of August I will be going with my mother and Bridesmaid/friend Melissa to my first alteration appointment which is exciting and scary. Just hoping that I have not gained to much weight since April. I need to start walking and working out for the wedding!

In addition to our counseling appointment we went a groomsman and father of the bride to get clothes for the wedding. We had to switch the colors around because of one JCPenney not carrying the colors we wanted! It just seems like since we did not go with bridal stores and tux stores we are having a major issue with the clothing but almost completed!

Just wanting for my bridal shower and bach party. I am excited!!!

Look forward to more news!!

Invitations

Over the weekend Michael and I printed and made out our invitations. I was going to have friends help out but Michael seemed quite interested in helping to doing all the printing. We will be sending out a good amount of them this week. Then some of them we are handing out like we did our save the date cards. We interesting and nice to stop by to say hi and hand out the cards so we are doing the same. Also, it will save some on the postage which will help out with the money issue. The invitation which is kind of blurry due to the lighting in our computer room.
