wedding 1.

oh.my.word.

after moving up here two days after our wedding, life has been rather nuts.

my apologies. i've missed you all, and blogging so much.

anyway...now that you've seen the video

i'm going to start officially re-capping the whole day. so excited!

getting ready:

once we finally got to the venue and started the whole process of getting ready

it all hit me and felt so real, especially when i put my big, cloudy dress on.

my lovely friend janelle did my make-up, thank goodness.

and i did my hair. i wanted to keep it simple.

tec was there capturing each moment and my gorgeous maidens were getting dressed.

it all felt so surreal...like i was in a dream. but i'd never felt more calm.

then when it was time to line up and head down the aisle, i had major butterflies.

gosh, when i saw him though. that was the best.

all photos via (family and friends on facebook)

ceremony coming up next!

finds for friday: oregon edition.

perhaps the best purchase we've made since moving here

this hutch

it holds SO many things: books, vases (leftover from the wedding), trinkets, etc.

we got it from this amazing antique store up here called revival

they don't have a site...but if you are ever in central oregon, do yourself a favor.

happy weekend!

video.

we made it to oregon

the wedding was incredible and i cannot wait to fill you all in

i will be back to regular posting soon

but for now, while we get settled

here is our wedding preview video done by canavp

handsome.

just the most handsome.

we went shopping for my babe's wedding outfit the other day

this is what we came up with...

can't wait to walk down the aisle checking this guy out

um....3....days....what!?!?!?

ps. bachelorette party fun tonight!!!!

escort cards.

remember my door?

well this is what i did with it

a bunch of old nails from my grandpas garage

and some shipping tags later and...

voila

4 days!!!!

weekend.

this weekend i am going to:

clean the house

finish the seating

and relax

i've finished ALL of my projects!!!!

AND organized everything into boxes for the day-of-coordinator

and the mister-to-be gets here sunday...thank goodness.

this photo from my bridal shower makes me smile, perhaps it will do the same for you

have a beautiful weekend!

bed frame.

came across this beauty yesterday at anthropologie...

this one is a bit high up off of the ground but i'm thinking about building it (if the mister is into it)

thank you anthropologie for the best ideas

and thank you for not catching me taking pictures of such ideas sales associates (wink)

it might have been awkward otherwise

pride and joy.

i share this pride with miss a mountain bride

the pride for my programs that me, my in-laws, katie, and the copier at fedex/kinkos worked so hard on.

i knew i wanted fans, so i went online to search for them.

when i found the program fans, i was so so disappointed to see that they were $400+ for 150 of them. WHAT!?!??! really? come on wedding world. $400 for paper on sticks? hmm.

so i set out to make them myself.

thank goodness for katie's beautiful handwriting, first of all.

cost to print/copy at fedex/kinkos- $30

scalloped scissors, hot glue gun, hot glue- free because i already had them

tongue depressors- free because katie already had some (gem).

so...$30 and a day to assemble with a lot of family help, so worth it. much better than $400.

and they fan beautifully ;-)

and thank goodness they are done with only a week and a half to go.

2 weeks.

oh. my. goodness. my wedding is in 2 weeks!!!

in other words, the mister to be will arrive from oregon this weekend

and just a few days later we will be little marrieds

sorry i've been m.i.a. but so so much to do.

but, i thought i'd share some projects with you that i've been working on

this was my grandparents red picnic basket...now it will hold cards from our guests ;-)

signage to guide our guests around the reception area.

hope the beginning of your week is wonderful!!!!

ps...any last few weeks advice from you married ladies???!?!?

i could certainly use it.
