Busy week.

So last week was spring break. And. I got ALOT! done. I went and picked up some doors. I made a hat box. and. i kinda almost finished one of my bridesmaids bouquets. :) i'm happy with the progress that I have gotten done so that I can make my wedding look amazing. at least. I hope that people are going to think that its amazing. because we keep falling out of our theme. Now its kinda like a whimsical/ vintage theme. and. we've added birds into the mix. so. its more of like. an alice in wonderland/ tea party type theme now. so. i dont know if people are going to like it. because we have just so much going on. 

So. this is one the hat boxes that I have for some decorations. i dont know about it. it seems a little bit little kiddish but i think that as i keep doing them. that they will look better and better. So these will be around the food area and they are going to be stacked on each other. so there will different sizes. I think that in the end that they will look really amazing. and I will have freaked out for nothing.

This is basically how we are going to have everything set up. for serving the deserts at least. I dont actually have these. But this is the look that we are going for. So i need to go out and buy some cheap china and some candle sticks. and possibly find a chalkboard like that to write out the menu. 

and these are the two doors that i purchase that we are going to be using as a backdrop. There are going to by 5 doors total and they are going to by hinged together. I saw that some girls from snowflake had done it. I think that maybe the church own is tho, and anyways i wanted to make mine original and mine to have. I think that I am going to paint the bottom door to be yellow. Kyle had wrote this amazing poem after i told him that i want a yellow door on our house. so it has some meaning behind it. 

It may not look like alot but I feel like I got a lot accomplished. I have to put some finishing touches on my bridesmaids bouquet. But I plan on having them up soon. 

It feels a little like christmas.

Me and kyle got all registered up and are hoping for some good gifts. :) It was really fun and got us real excited for when we have our own place and we get to fill up our home with everything that we need and want. We registered at 2 different places. It feels really good to get it all done. But then, nervous and anxious because we dont know what we are going to get but we kinda need/want it all.

Here is a direct link to our Bed Bath and Beyond registry.

And our Target registry as well.

Haha. and I just realized that I spelled kyle's real name (Joseph) wrong on our target registry. haha. oops...

I have a few things that I am really excited for.

     1st is the bedding!!!!

It is from bed bath and beyond and it is amazing. and something that we had both agreed on and this is the thing that i want most for people to get us from our registry.

2nd. is our fiesta ware. 

This is just one picture of what we are thinking about we also registered for a lot of different colored ones. I saw that Kaila had some and I just thought. Dang! I need to have those. and that is what i am really hoping will happen.

3rd. is the cannon camera.

I'm excited for this one because me and kyle are going to right off the bat be going on vacations. We are honeymooning in Colorado and then a couple weeks later we are going to be going to California for one of his family reunions. So. I want it to be well documented and neither one of us has a camera so. we need one badly.

A couple other things that I am excited about is the dyson vacuum, the bird china that we signed up for, the kitchen aid mixer, the double belgium waffle maker!!, all the art work, pots and pans and the Martha Stewart cupcakes book. kyle really hopes that we get that. (he really does. no joke. i do too)

Now that we are all registered we need to start on a different focus. I think that we are gonna start looking for a place to stay. New jobs. Invitations. Flowers. Bridal shower? A lot more stuff that we need to get done, but we will get everything situated and make a smooth transition into being a married couple.

Planning. Planning. planning..

My goodness. I think that I have just about wore myself out with all this planning!!!

Today I went to a wedding expo. I was just bombarded with everything!! I did find some really good things tho. I wish that my parents had given me a budget. Because. Now I want EVERYTHING! I did find this really cute place. Or.. coordinator maybe? Its called Rust & Lace. They don't have a website. Which I am really sad about. Because. They are absolutely amazing! They are everything vintage. Everything that I want.

They have the old luggage

Old doors

Old chairs

EXCELLENT! lighting

Anyways.. They are just perfect! but...the starting price is $2000! and. my parents would never give it to me. :( which i am very sad about. because it is perfect. What I think that they do is that they go and they set up everything. They come with everything like the linens. the chairs. and they just decorate everything. at least that is what i am getting from the flier that I got today. So. I think that in order for my parents to get it from me. I am going to try and compare what I can do by myself. And what they can offer. And if it is about the same amount of money, and looks bad. Then maybe they will go after this design stuff! which. i am really hoping for. :) so. i'm going to try and be sneaky and get what i want!

I think that today. I was blown away by the fact of how much everything is! like. it is so expensive! and i hate that so very much! And one thing that I am really wanting to splurge on is a good photographer. I think that I found her too. This is her website.

She is absolutly amazing. And. I really would like for her to do our wedding pictures. She starts at $1800. And. I think that this is something that me and kyle would really like.

Gabby will be taking the pictures at the reception and before the reception too. I think tho. That we want to make sure that the ones at the temple include gabby. NOT to down play gabby's talent at all! But she just cant take these ones. And. Also I think that if Jessica gets into photography like she is right now. We will let her take some as well.

Food....

I'm dont really care about. we are going to be keeping the costs down on this. And we aren't going to be making that a big deal.

Kyle will like that I found a Quartet for us. They do contemporary stuff. So. I think that if we asked them if they could play Light Outside - Wakey!Wakey! they could possibly do it. All I would have to do is find a pianist. And. I know a couple of those. But anyways. These people are called The Encore Quartet and I heard them today and they were really good. You should have seen their booth tho. They probably had. Maybe 4 ft wide by maybe 7 ft long and they were all cramped in there. I felt so bad for them. It was really tiny. Their prices are $400 for 1 hr. I might have to pay a traveling fee. but. since I went today I get $25 off. So. we might want to look into that. Because. I think that it would be excellent to walk down the aisle to that song. I'm not getting a dj. We are just going to have the music set up ourselves. and to play our music that we pick out. Maybe have someone in charge of it. But. Free. and that is what I like. That way I can spend my money, for my budget that doesn't even exist.

I also found the cutest little invitations. This place is called. Little Owl Letterpress. They are something that I am not willing to pay money for. But I will gladly take their idea's and make them myself. :)

Mom said that she is going to get me a sizzix big shot. and its basically something that presses things down. you can cut stuff. emboss stuff. and i just found out. letterpress stuff. so. :) this makes me happy. because then. I can make them myself! I just need to get a big shot. Which hopefully will be on Tuesday. At least ordering it. I will be getting it soon. so. that is good.

I am worn out. I have so much to stress out.

Graduation

Money( No budget)

Tables ( :( very sad at them)

Cake

Parking

Lighting

Bigger list. But. I dont really want to sound like I am complaining. Because this day will be amazing. As long as I get to do whatever i want. :) people should just understand that. and get that. and do it for me. so that way I would want to have a reception instead of dreading it. and make it look nice. which i am having a difficult time seeing that it will. All that matters is that me and kyle will be married. And that really is all i want.
