~ Will you be my bridesmaid? ~

I have finally sent out all of my "Will you be my bridesmaid?" cards and I've received all of their responses so I thought I would share them with everyone. I found a similar design on Etsy but customized them a bit. Let me know what you think!

So my ladies include Ashley Womack,Maid of Honor, a life long friend who has seen me at my worst as well as my best and chooses to love me anyway; Elizabeth Peckham, my life long friend and cousin who I have shared my secrets with as a kid and now; Jessica Stephens, one of my best friends from high school who I shared some of the greatest moments of my teenage years with; and Taylor Branham, a friend that I just happen to meet through my brother and I'm honored that she agreed to be part of the craziness that is my wedding!! I am so blessed to have great friends who I know will always be there.

I thought I would share my "Will you be my flower girl" cards. I thought they were really cute and I got them on Esty of course!!

~ Honeymoon Destinations ~

I am so excited about looking for a honeymoon destination. Neither one of us have ever been out of the country so we would like to go somewhere we've never been before. We want to go somewhere warm with a beautiful beach! I've been diligently (online everyday looking at beautiful photos wishing I could be there now) looking on Priceline to narrow down a few places to pick from. Here are my results.

Option 1 ~ St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands

Option 2 ~ Oahu, Hawaii

Option 3 ~ San Pedro, Belize ( my favorite!!!!)

I am SO ready to be relaxing on one of these beautiful beaches, I can hardly wait!!!! Brian wants to know if we can go somewhere other than a place I've seen on ABC's the "Bachelor".. What can I say, they go to all the best places!! Vote for which place you like the best on our "Honeymoon Poll" to the left.

~ Cake, Cake, & More Cake~

I've been trying to narrow down my choices for the big things like bridesmaids dresses, tuxes, and the cake but I haven't really gotten very far. I've been thinking a lot about the cake lately, well I think a lot about cake all the time to be honest! I can't seem to find a photo of a cake that I really love. I like certain aspects of many different cakes but I haven't seen "the one" yet. Here are a few I've looked at..

Any suggestions?? I really like the last one but I'm afraid to pick a print. I guess I will keep pondering on it and go try some cake while I'm at it!

~Engagement Photos~

We just got to see a preview of our engagement photos from Sean Cadzow Photography! I'm really excited to share them and I will post more on our "Photos" page as they become available. Here are a couple of my favorites!

~ Dress... Check!!~

I purchased my dream dress on Saturday!! Well, technically my mom purchased it but I am so excited to have that checked off my list!! I'm so glad that my Mom, Aunt Tammie, Granny and friend Leah got to go with me to see it in person!! I am also thankful to Lisa at Tulle in Sherwood for being so kind and helping me find my dream dress!! If anyone is looking for or knows someone who is looking for any formals or wedding attire send them to Tulle! The staff is amazing!!

~"The Dress" has Arrived~

Much to my surprise I received a call on Tuesday from Lisa at Tulle, a bridal and formal wear store in Sherwood. I had contacted her about "the dress" that I found at Low's and discovered it was $300 less at her store, not to mention I didn't have to fight through 30 other girls to find it. She didn't have the dress in the store at the time but she had ordered it and was expecting to receive it on January 31st. Well, she called to let me know it had come in early and I was welcome to come try it on before my appointment date!! Needless to say I was VERY excited!! So I told her I would come in on Saturday to try it on, but I didn't ask her to hold it. I didn't want to be a bother and if someone else liked it I wanted them to be able to try it on.

Now here I sit.. Fretting over whether or not the dress will be there on Saturday when I go to try it on.. If you haven't noticed yet I worry about things.. A lot.. And when I'm planning one of the most important days of my life I worry even more.

So in my spare time in between worrying, working, and going to school I have managed to create my " Will you be my bridesmaid" cards. I really like them and  I can't wait for them to get here!! As soon as I send the cards out and know the girls got them I will post a picture of what they look like. They are awesome if I do say so myself! I can't wait for my bridesmaids to see them!!
