DIY Projects

With only 18 days left until the wedding, I thought I'd share with you one of my DIY projects- my guest book. I have been working on it on and off for quite a while now and am finally almost finished with it. I bought a regular photo album from Michaels and have added pictures of Koy and me on different types of scrapbook paper for the cover page and each of the left-hand pages. Then, on the right-hand pages, I put different labels from Paper Source on scrap book paper. The guests will write their well wishes on the labels. I think it has turned out pretty cute, although, I don't think I actually saved any money doing it myself. I ended up spending quite a bit of money on all the pretty scrapbook paper and special tape. I think it is worth it, though, and will be a little extra special to me in the years to come knowing it was a labor of love. :) Here are a few pictures. I don't want to share too many and ruin the surprise of seeing the actual book at the wedding.

These are not great quality pictures since I took them with my phone, but you can get the general idea.

Flower Girls

I am so excited about Koy's two little nieces being flower girls in our wedding. They are both seven years old and are adorable! I found the cutest dress and headbands for them from Crewcuts- J Crew's kids store. I wish they made clothes big enough for me there because they seriously have some super cute, fashionable outfits. Here is a picture of the dress and headband. They are going to be precious!

My adorable nephew who will only be 18 months by the time of the wedding is going to be our ring bearer as well. He is going to be the cutest thing in the world! He is going to wear gray pants, a white button down shirt and a purple or silver tie. I can't wait to see him all dressed up! It will be very interesting to see how he walks/runs down the aisle. I think it will probably be best to have him walk with the flower girls so maybe they can hold his hands and guide him down at a good pace. :) We'll see. They will all three be adorable no matter what type of entrance they make.

36 days to go........ : )

Bridal Shower

This past weekend, my wonderful friends/bridesmaids threw me a beautiful bridal shower. It was a bit chaotic at first because we had to change the location at the last minute due to a friend's family emergency, and then there was horrible traffic that day, but once it was all set up and everyone got there, we all had a really good time. They decorated the place so cute and had great food and drinks. I'm so thankful for all my friends and family that could make it and for my best friends who put so much time, energy, and love into planning the event for me. I don't know what I would do without their support. Here are a few pictures.

The pretty cake and desserts. They tasted amazing as well!
