Day 83 - 86

I know that many (not mentioning any names....Anthony) are not too fond of Martha Stewart, but I love her!!  I wish I could be as creative as her, but since I can't, I love reading her website and finding some inspiration there.  I love getting her "weddings" magazine, and I have recently started using this new tool she has on her website, to help keep all my vendors lined up and little reminders of balances.  It also can help create the guest list and eventually help with the seating chart!  I am crazy about these new tools she offers, and it has been a great help for me already.  I honestly feel like I have a backup for my hard copies and it is virtual so if I leave some information at home I will be ok as long as I can get to a computer  =)  I recommend any bride-to-be, to check out her site and use this tool! 

I am also going to post some pictures I have found through either her website or magazine that have inspired me!  I am really loving the idea of using ribbons and flowers!!  I am not going to give away too much information, but I just loved these pictures I found!  Enjoy!!

Day 81 - 82

i have recently realized that bridesmaids have a huge responsibility.  When i started reading up on it, I was amazed myself, and have thought to give my girls a bit more guidance.  I know that I have picked such a great group of girls, but I can understand where it may get a bit overwhelming.  I recently came across a post that was very interesting, and had great information in it about being a bridesmaid!!  So please enjoy!

Day 78 - 80

I just wanted to share with all my wonderful friends, that we have decided to go with a videographer, and we picked an awesome husband/wife team.  The name of their company is Elite Video Productions.  I had the chance to meet with them last night and was very impressed with their work.  I also had the pleasure of taking my future mother-in-law to the meeting and she admitted to me later, that she had teared up watching the videos they shared with us.  Her reaction was exactly what I was hoping for and ensured me that my gut was right, in going with them to shoot our wedding.  I cannot express how excited I am to book them and see how they picture our wedding day!!  I recommend you checking out their site and seeing how awesome their work is.  Hope you enjoy, and ladies, grab some tissue because you may shed some tears!!  =)

Day 76- 77

This past weekend, I was able to witness an amazing couple exchange their vows.  Peter & Darrel got married on 08-08-08 at the Angel Springs site, in Georgetown, TX.  It was a beautiful ceremony and a great reception.  They did an awesome job reflecting their love and personalities in every detail.  =)

I was honored to be a part of their day and I cannot wait to see the pictures from Andy!  I was so glad to hear that Andy was their photographer as well, and it truly has become a family affair.  =)

Here are some of the pictures I took of their day, so enjoy!!

Day 69 - 74

I have some great news, I BOUGHT MY DRESS!!  It has taken a couple of months but I have "THE ONE".  I cannot say too many details about it but I can say it is a beautiful light ivory color and I LOVE IT!!!  

I was also lucky to have two of my bridesmaids there with me to see it and try it on.  Sonya actual came in from out of town to spend some time with me in Austin, and Morgan, whom now lives one block away from me, where there to celebrate with me on my purchase!  We went to Trudy's for some great mexican food and awesome margaritas!!!  The conversation did turn from wedding talk to some very interesting sex talk, and that is all I am saying about that!!  ;)  

Then the next morning Sonya and I went on Town Lake (aka Lady Bird Lake), and she kicked my butt!!  I am more than determined to get in the best shape of my life, so I can look amazing on my wedding day. Sonya had me doing running intervals and let me tell you, I had no clue how hard it was going to be!  But I am proud to say I hung in there, and survived.  I hope she can come visit again soon so she can push me some more  =)  

I do have to say though, I am very blessed with some awesome bridesmaids, and could not of picked more amazing women!! I have a total of 5 bridesmaid including my Matron of Honor, Susan, whom has risen to the occasion many times already, and there is Sara Marie, Sonya, Morgan and Roxana.  I cannot wait for all of them to meet each other because I have a feeling we are all going to have a blast together!!  

With the wedding being less than a year away, I cannot wait for the many adventures I am going to have with these women and I know that they will not fail me!  Love you girls!  Here are some pics I found that seemed appropriate!   

PS.  Sonya has also started her own blog, so check it out here.

Day 66 - 68

I did not originally have a lot to blog about until I recently came across so many blogs on weddings.  I have found some very interesting, and I had no clue how much information is out there.  I have listed on my links some of my favorite ones and I recommend checking them out.  Some have great ideas and have inspired me.  Here is one of my favorite pictures I have found and I so wish I had seen this before and I really would of been inspired! I can't wait to use some of the ones I have found in our wedding  =)
