Do these match??

OK so I have been searching for something to wear in my hair so that when I take my veil off there is still something sparkly in my hair. I found this (below) that I absolutely love...BUT...does it go with my dress and earrings?? What do you think??

Not much left to do

So it has been awhile since I last posted about my fabulous shoes, but I have to say there really isn't too much going on in wedding land these days. I guess I'm sort of in a planning "lull". We have all of our vendors booked, my dress is ordered, my bridesmaids all have their dresses and things seem to be moving along. I also have most of the bridesmaids' gifts purchased! Yay...so excited about these! My inviations have arrived, now they just sit in the box until I'm ready to assemble them. My dress should be here in a month or so. I feel so ahead of the game that I wish my wedding was sooner!

Things we still need to do:
Rent bathrooms
Book tansportation to and from hotel for bridal party and guest shuttle
Book honeymoon flights
Research flower markets for centerpiece flowers
Purchase more vases for centerpieces (already have a few...thanks to a fellow knottie!)
DIY paper goods for reception (table numbers, escort cards, signs, etc.)
Purchase rings
Pick out tuxes
Assemble invitations

I'm sure there are many more things to do...those are just the ones that fly off the top of my head at this point!

Happy Valentine's to all!

Helllooo Loooverr!

My new obsession! I found these last weekend at Nordstrom and couldn't resist! They are almost the same color as my bridesmaid's dresses, but no one will ever notice they aren't perfect...right?? So, now I have two pairs of shoes...when will I wear them both...well, I'm not sure. I do know that these babies are pretty high and I probably won't be wearing them for very long! Oh well!

Invites and shoes are here!

Shoes are from endless.com and they are much more comfortable than I ever thought they would be. Not sure if I will keep them or not...I have my eye on some others but these were on clearance for only $30!

I am in love with my invitations but not quite sure what to do about the RSVP card. What do you think about it? I feel like it looks a little busy...I'm not really sure what to do about it though because I want to have out of town bags for our guests at the hotels.

So productive today!

I am impressed with how productive I have been today! I went out to Target and Michael's to look for some more wedding supplies. I bought a small paper cutter to have here at home for wedding projects. I do have one at school, but it is quite large and I decided I didn't want to cart it back and forth. I also bought some black cardstock and sitcky photo corners to test out my table number designs. More on those later...

The last thing that I did today, was finally iron my tanks that I bought. Sooo cute! I love them!

I plan to work some more on the match boxes, but I need to find more of the boxes somewhere...seriosuly...no one carries these! I have been all over the place looking for them. I think I'll have to try Costco...

Tanks are from Old Navy $5 a piece on sale! The rhinestone iron-ons are from ebay seller zazasonestopbridalshop. I emailed her with the exact iron-ons that I wanted and she gave me a discount for buying as many as I did. I got 9 on them for $41. Sweet!

Matches and projects update!

So I finally got another color ink cartridge for my printer and was excited to get home and finish what I had started with my match boxes. I made a few more designs just to see which I like better and now I can't decide!

Materials:

Microsoft Powerpoint

Xyron sticker machine with permanent adhesive cartridge (I may buy a laminate/adhesive cartridge to try that out too!)

Scissors (I also plan to bring my paper cutter home from school to finish this project.)

Cardstock to print onto

A package of Diamondbrands match boxes

ruler

1. I measured the box carefully and then cut piece of paper to actually see what fit on top of the box.

2. With measurements in hand, I opened powerpoint and created a rectangle with the exact measurements. After creating the rectangle, I played around with fonts, colors, and lines, etc.

3. Once I had my design, I printed it out onto cardstock and cute it carefully. (Like I said before, I will definitely be using my paper cutter instead of scissors for a more exact cut.)

4. I ran each of the cut out rectangles through the sticker machine and attached them to the top of the box.

Voila...the finished product! Should I use just one? Or all 3?

One more project with the sticker machine...

Mr. G and I plan to give out scratch-off lottery tickets as our favors. I have found the envelopes that I will place them in along with a penny for scratching, but I wanted to create a label for the outside of the envelope.

Materials:

Powerpoint

Cardstock (I think I may use regular paper or even a full sheet label paper)

Scrapbook 2.5" circle punch

Xyron Sticker machine (only if I use paper instead of the label paper)

Did my own make-up...

What do you think? I am considering doing my own make-up rather than hiring a make-up artist, but I am worried that I will be too nervous or not have enough time, etc!
