Envy

Just look at this wedding of these grade school sweethearts
Isn't it the cutest?

I keep coming across details and images from other people's weddings that make me wish we could have a small outdoor wedding instead. A guest list of 75, an intimate garden party in the evening, orange paper lanterns hanging from trees, Moroccan lanterns with flickering candles, a huge glass jar full of lemonade, a clothespin line of messages and polaroids for a guest book, pretty succulents in apothecary jars, daisies in an antique blue glass jars...

But ours will be very different. More formal, more elegant, indoors - still we're trying to incorporate some details that make it less stuffy, less ordinary. And I got my Moroccan lanterns so I'm happy.

Updates:
1. Confirmation on our Engagement photo session next Wednesday! I'm so excited. But what to wear? Where to go?

Do you want to see our photographer's work? It's amazing.

2. We got rings, picked the menu, chose our cake, got my bridesmaid dresses in, got my dress in. I'll go for my first fitting next week - NERVOUS!

3. Florist appointment is tonight to see a sample of what he's going to do for us. I hope it's beautiful! And I hope he doesn't charge us more for the candelabras.

4. Coming up we have the bridal shower/bachelor/bachelorette party weekend. It's about to get crazy!

Things we still need:
Guest books
Place Cards
Thank you Stationery
Jewelry
Gifts for our party

46 Days and counting! OMG OMG OMG

are the thank you cards really necessary yet? i thought y'all had up to a year after the wedding to send them out. i have definitely received thank you notes that were 8+ months after the wedding!

you're welcome for knocking one item off your to-do list...
