Choose a show stopping bouquet!
Your bouquet is just about the most important accessory on your wedding day. Once you have chosen your wedding colors and have an idea of what your style is going to be, choosing your bouquet and other wedding flowers is going to be a big decision! You probably have never realized just how many different types of flowers there are, until you visit a florist. One big money saving tip is, don’t choose a flower that isn’t in season. You will end up paying top dollar for these flowers and there are so many other flower choices you could go with!

Things are moving right along!!
So we’re just about at THREE months until the wedding!! I cannot wait : ) I’m super anxious for it to get here… Recently, my girls and I picked out their dresses and the boys got their tuxes. I’m excited to see everything coming together! I also booked our baker, florist and tickets for our honeymoon, yayy!!
As of now, the most important thing for me to accomplish is finishing my invitations since I am making them on my own. Despite the stress of making them myself, I LOVVE them!
I’ve been ordering little odds and ends, such as, my personalized drink napkins and love cameras. I also found a great website for crystal chains for my centerpieces! I think those will turn out gorgeous, I can’t wait to see them!

It’s Been Awhile!
It’s been awhile since I’ve updated the blog, and I really miss it! I haven’t done too much planning with my wedding lately because I wanted to get past the holidays and pick it up in early Spring! I can’t wait to pick a florist and bakery.
