Wedding Invitations

I am done printing all the invitations, RSVP cards, and the RSVP envelopes. I am still working on completing our guest list as far as addresses so the big envelopes are yet to  be printed. I really liked the way they turned out! 

 There are two types of invitations, one has daisies and one has loopy hearts.  These invites were such a good deal I could not pass them up and they only had two boxes of daisies so I had to go with another types of print also.  

Wedding Dress Day

These are some of the dresses that I tried on this afternoon in Round Rock.  It was fun, Kayler and Chloe came and tried on bridesmaid dresses also. We also had my mom, Matt, Lori, and Kayler's friend Megan with us. IT WAS A FULL HOUSE! I really liked these dresses that I tried on and I think I have a winner in mind. I will go back next week and make a final choice.  

Hair Styles

I have booked a hairdresser (two actually) to do the bridal parties hair for the wedding day.  Her name is Jenni Carter and is amazing! She has done my hair the last few years and has done Lori Hatfield's hair FOREVER! She is super fun and sweet and will be way fun to have around on that crazy day! The other great thing about Jenni is that her salon is a whole 5 minutes (literally) from the church! PERFECTION!
I have found the way I want to wear my hair and am still looking for 4 or 5 choices to give my bridesmaids for their hair styles.  



I am going to do very simple but still very elegant and gorgeous curls with straight bangs. I love the way this hair style looks with a veil and that it shows in pictures.  I am not a fan of up-do's in photographs because I tend to look bald with my hair slicked back :) 

Escort Cards

I could not find a picture of exactly what I am thinking but the picture in the top right hand of this collage is close. I want to do tall shot classes with red or aqua rocks in the bottom. Instead of a flower I want to do a dowel rod  that is red or aqua with clear glitter sparkles on it. Then I want to place the escort envelope in a slit on top of the dowel rod. Not sure hot exactly this would work but when I do I will update a new picture!

I like the idea of putting the big letters in front of each set of cards. I think this will help before find their cards quicker and move on to the reception. 

I like the red envalopes with aqua cards inside with the table number. Also this might be the place to annouce that on Saturday, the following night we would like for our guest to meet us downtown for our first night out as married grown ups! 

I TOLD YOU SO MOM!!!

This one is my favorite. Instead of a candle I think some flowers would be pretty. I think the church won't let us do candles in the youth area.

Instead of bamboo I think some red branches with dangel sparkley something or others would be great!

Kids or grownups who like fish can take the fish home!

I love the tall vases.

I like the colored rocks in the bottom and the three different types of vases.

This post is dedicated to my mommy dearest. I had this idea and loved it but my mom was not so sure. Last night I was at the mall with Brandi and Arthur and Brandi said she had a really great idea...it was the fish idea!!! So I started looking today during my student teaching meeting (which is super pointless!) and here is what I found!

Not wedding stuff....just a thought to share

Please lay down your arrows
For they're sure to pierce the skin
And water from a broken well
Will make you thirst again
When all things you've acquired
Are tested by the flames
And you can see them melting
Then will you call his name

It's worth it brothers
It's worth it friends
To know your maker
To lose your sin
Did you know that you are dearly loved

To the slaughters you are being led
Being told that it's a party
That this God is in your head
And every single lie
Sounds just like the greatest truth
But the one truth you're not hearing
Is that he died for you

No greater joy
No greater peace
No greater love than this

It's worth it brothers
It's worth it friends
To know your maker
To lose your sin
Did you know that you are dearly loved

I am sitting in the SUB at Tech for the last time....ever, studying for a final that I have to make a C on to pass the class (eeeek history is hard!) this song came on my ipod.  I have heard Jimmy Needham tell me 47902098470 times that I am "dearly loved" but today it was more that that. I realized that I am "dearly loved" by the Father, Jesus, my Savior, my Creator, the King, the Lamb of God, Messiah, Elohim- powerful God, Jehovah, the God of the Universe "dearly loves" me! This is not  new thought but today it is exactly what I needed to hear from Him. 

Wedding Bands

Alex and I went to Kay Jewelers and bought our wedding bands today.  Mine is very simple and matches my engagement band perfectly.  I did not want any thing with diamonds (GASP!!!!) because I felt like they all just took away from the beauty of my ring.  Alex's ring is a Tungston ring.  It is stronger and more resistant that titanium.  It is scratch resistant and if he ever needs a different size Kay Jewelers will give him a new one for free.  There is a small diamond in the middle of his band also. Arthur and Alex can be BLING brothers.  Alex didn't think he would want diamonds but when he saw them he couldn't resist.
