Let Them Eat Cake!

I think we've narrowed down our inspiration cake to this one. It will be ivory buttercream with red gerber daisies and have an additional layer with the stucco look. Isn't it pretty?! Now I just need to make an appointment with the cake lady. I'm pretty sure we're going to use McIntosh Bakery as I've heard her cakes are scrumptious.

My First Completed DIY Project

I created cards to put on the tables at the reception with instructions on how our guests can upload their digital photos to our flickr wedding album. I am really hoping it works! Here are the cards I made:
I just ordered these babies through Vistaprint. Sometimes it can take awhile to get your pro photos back – hopefully this will make the wait a little easier!

It feels so good to have something done... :)

I ordered my dress!

And Emma's dress! Saturday was a blast. I signed up for all kinds of giveaways at the Bridal Expo, got a great massage, and Emma & I got measured for our dresses and ordered them. They should be in by April!

Invitation pt. 1

So I ordered some sample cardstock from www.paperandmore.com and did a mock up of our invitation. I might get a different stamp because it's kind of hard to see the embossing. Maybe I just need a different kind of embossing powder.


I can get 200 5x7 precut cardstock pieces of the shiny red cardstock, 200 precut cardstock pieces of the 4 1/2x6 1/2 ivory cardstock and 150 shiny red envelopes from www.paperandmore.com for $95.00. Which I think it an awesome deal!

This was one thing I really wanted to do myself since I do graphic design work all day I was pretty sure I knew what I wanted our invites to look like. I'm really happy with the way they turned out and Mr. H is too.

Me & Mr. H

Here's the man I'm going to marry in less than 8 months. *sigh* I love him.


Looking at these pictures reminds me that I need to start working on my vows. I have no idea how I'm going to put my feelings for him into words. There's just so much to say and I want to keep it short so I can try to make it through it without falling apart... which reminds me, I need some really good waterproof mascara... Any suggestions?

Honeymoon is booked!

We are going on a 7 day Carnival cruise to Cozumel, Grand Cayman & Jamaica!

Carnations?

I had originally planned on using roses... but with our budget and seeing these pictures, I think carnations might be an option. Aren't these beautiful?!


If these are your arrangements, please let me know and I will give you credit.
