hey hey. I'm at work being a bad employee (again) so I realized I haven't mentioned what DF is wearing....perhaps thats because even HE doesn't know he wants some vintage suit thats navy with small pin strips? I don't know he has apparently seen it in England vintage stores but i'm really not sure how he is going to get it as he doesn't know what its called! Well thats all him! haha. I still have to find tuxes or suits that are navy for the boys to wear. It seems like navy tuxes don't exist so I guess we are doing suits. Is it a lot to ask the guys to buy suits? Can you rent suits?

but ANYWAY

I want to get DF cufflinks because they are cute and a boy need some jewelry for the wedding. So i'm gonna surprise him! (and if his "suit" doesn't have cuff link holes I will make them myself!) so his suit is navy but he is wearing greyish cons and black plugs (I have give up on fighting this)

these I can choose any game for these

what do we think?

 

[CassIS300]

forgot to post this early!

So I talked to my photographer! and it sounds like he is going to work out nicely. We were on the phone for like an hour. We are going to try and get pictures of the BM and female family taken at a park near my grans/moms house so that we have less pictures to take during our cocktail hour. He also said he can sneak us out at salad time for sunset pictures (yay!) and will do night shots with our car!

and around the gardens, which i'm super excited about.

The officiant is calling me today to discuss everything, so i'm excited about that.

Also I spoke to my hair dresser so that we can set up a trial hair in December. She is going to dye and cut my hair then as well. She also agreed with my idea to get my hair done and then go to my dress fitting! yay. She is going to "try" and get my hair to my normal color which is dark brown. I had black for a while but I don't think I want black for my wedding. Otherwise it might have to be auburn like it is now, which will be fine.

So sorry to hear about your MOH. I hope you are able to work things out. And don't worry, there are tons of people on here that are very interested in hearing about all your plans!

I love the cufflinks, the ghosts are my fav! The rings look great. We haven't really looked into that yet, mine has a matching band, so I'm set, but DF has no idea.

The pinwheels are great! I know what you mean about adding projects, I keep doing that too. I just decided to make my own invites. Then I saw really cute window clings another bride made but I was like....Must stop the madness! No new projects!

hey, I keep making excuses not to call her. I know it will upset me so i'm not doing it. I know I have to but I don't want to ruin my whole day (or weekend ) oh well I will have to eventually.

well thats 2 votes for the ghost. Thanks, I really like my ring. At first i was having a very hard time finding one that worked, and then i fell in love with that one Try looking at Kay Jewelers for DF. they have a lot of pricey ones but they also have a lot of in expensive guy bands. My DF's actually isn't gold its titanium, but they said that for guys its better because they are careless

I like the idea of making invites! Its more personal! I am so far making the escort cards (pin wheels), programs, favors and invites. I am sure more will come up! I say if you have time do it because nothing will be as special as you doing it yourself. So yay on you making your own invites, I look forward to seeing how they come out!

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

me too! do you think they would work with a navy suit?

I think that one probably works best with navy out of all of the ones you posted. I really like white and navy!

 

[shippedtosea]

made an inspiration board! yay!

hope you like

 

[LLLBelle]

Everything is coming along, it all looks great together!

small update! but still an update!

I have done a sketch of what the etching will look like for our wedding invite cover (it will obviously look a lot different when its etched and printed) It will be more sand castley and have shells in the water and be stippled
So I did this one in class and then DF didn't like it he said it wasn't very castle like and called it some British term that angered me. (Oh silly couple bickering)

so then I made a quick sketch last night. (forgive the very unfinished quality and slightly tiltedness It was quick) So I am going to combine elements of both for the finished but DF (and reluctantly me) agree it should be more uniformed..

Talked to the officiant she seems super nice and even though I said NO to a lot of her regular ceremony she seems very flexible and is even mailing me a copy so I can change and add what I want. We want a completely none religious ceremony, more about love and friendship. Somehow that seems hard? but she will do whatever we want! she said its our day and it needs to fit our taste and she understands. She is also like $200 bucks cheaper then anyone else I have found yay on saving money

ALSO, spoke to our DJ who has be MIA for a month. which has annoyed me, but when I spoke to him today he was super apologetic and sounded very excited to do our wedding. He even lower the price of his original quote by $400 bucks! I was Shocked! but delighted! So it has been a very money saving weekend!

I went to this craft fair yesterday that I have been looking forward to for months! and found tons of stuff. I tried to not buy much because I wanted to digest and figure things out. But most of the designers will make custom pieces and give me bulk discount!


so this is the flower girl necklace

obviously in my colors. and she can make a matching clip for her hair! The only problem is i'm not sure if it should be pale yellow or blue.

these are for the BM

The girl who makes them is out of state right now because of the fair so there aren't picture of the necklaces. but she can make any color and with matching earrings. They are just simple silver chains with one of those pendents hanging and then I can get hanging earring if I want.


I am back and forth on what color the jewelry should be compared to the dress.
Like if the BM are in Yellow should they have a blue necklace because they also have blue flowers? and then it would be opposite for the FM?


I found a necklace for me (I think!) but she makes everything custom. its 2 strands of different sized pearls with a crystal hanging and she said she could try and find me pale yellow! so we will see. Waiting on a picture!

I also got these for my FM for her bag of stuff I am planning!

They are paper dolls if you can't tell!

I am in the process of trying to convince DF to be the Prince from Snow White for Halloween because I really want to be snow white before I dye my hair bright red (after the wedding of course)

This was the only thing I bought yesterday

Its a cat toy taco! Ruby likes it! she is so spoiled

 

[LLLBelle]

Ohh, I think the castle looks great and will look lovely as the cover to your invitations.

I love the finds, it seems like you made out good at the fair. Your kitty is adorable.

 

[BecBennett]

You have a fat kitty cat! I have one too!

 

[MainStMandy]

I personally like the first Castle!! You have a lot of talent!!

 

[pezaddict231]

the sketches are great! And yay for the DJ lowering his price, that is awesome!

On the BM jewelry, you can really do what you want. I think if they're in yellow and the flowers are blue it will definitely pop more in blue, but if you didn't want it to stand out as much the yellow would be nice.

Love the cat taco and yay for spoiled kitties, I have a very spoiled kitty at home too and his toys have overrun our apartment.

Thanks dear! I hope I will have picture of what the BM necklaces really look like soon so I can get opinions!

You have a fat kitty cat! I have one too!

I say she is just really hairy haha. Poor thing gained weight when we lived in a tiny apartment and is still loosing it. and she is spoiled rotten

I personally like the first Castle!! You have a lot of talent!!

Thank you hun! I like the first one too! I am going to try and redo another tonight and see how it comes out. I will post the results for a vote!

I was thinking the blue for a pop as well. I was really thinking if they didn't have their flowers they would still have blue but I wasn't sure if that would look weird. My MOH will have a blue sash on her yellow dress so she is slightly different. Also my FM is wearing white but will have yellow petals. so i don't know if she sound have yellow sash and yellow necklace (she has a light blue parasol) Or should I do blue sash and blue necklace? oor.....blue sash and yellow necklace. too many choices can't decide. Don't want to overwhelm anyone with color.

Oh kitty toys. no matter how many times I pick them up...they are back in the morning! She even "talks" to one of her toys. its kind of insane
