My Wedding Inviations

I got my wedding invitations in the other day.  They look so beautiful; they couldn't have been more perfect.  I was very hands-on with the designing of my invitation.  I customized everything down to the art.  I went to Alan's Invitations on Valleydale Road.  The store is great, and they have an endless amount of options for every type of invite.  I even had my thank you notes made there and they match my invitation.  I will have a picture of my thank you notes at a later date. 

Here is a picture of what the original pocket invite looked like.

Here is what my invitation looks like:

That is a green paper behind the white and they text color is brown and blue. 

The color of the bridesmaids dresses are blue and green too. 

I tried to follow the colors of my wedding with everything I did. 

However, don't get me wrong I am not wanting everything to be matchy, matchy.

My Thank you notes are pretty much the star fish with my initials on the front flap. 

They are very simple, but they are so pretty and follow along with the invite. 

Reese’s First Birthday Present

I didn’t make it to Reese’s first birthday because I was having a photo-shoot that day at the same time.  Therefore, I wanted to do something really special that would be memorable for Brooke and Reese.  Brooke did such an amazing job designing and putting the party together so I wanted to make a picture frame that captured the theme and the great decorating Brooke did. 

Here is the amazing cake and this is where I got my idea for the picture frame from.

LulaKate Bridesmaid Dresses

We finally got the dresses ordered and decided on.  They are all going to look so beautiful.  All four of my bridesmaids got the same fabric and colors on their dresses, but different styles of dresses from the same designer.  All the dresses will be shortened.  They will not be wearing shoes either they will have the foot jewelry on that I am making that I showed in an earlier blog.

My wonderful mother-in-law got me one of the LulaKate dresses to wear to the Rehearsal Dinner below is a picture of my dress, but it still has to be shortened so you will notice I am holding the bottom of the dress.  This dress is called the Christy.

Brittanni got the Angela the original dress that was planned on.  Everyone will have the all green dress with the blue sash through the middle.  Here is Brittanni’s dress, but the white and orange part of the dress will be green, while the pink part will be blue. 

April’s decided to go with the Maggie with the party skirt.  Everything on the dress will be green but the band thru the waist will be blue. 

Tyler decided to go with the Pearl dress, but it is different than this picture.  The heart top has a small ruffle on it for Tyler and the dress is a full skirt instead of fitted.  Tyler is going to be close to 8 months pregnant at the wedding.  She is going to look so cute in her dress.  The full skirt looks a great deal like the skirt on the dress above this.  Tyler will also have a blue band going thru the middle that doesn’t show on this one.

Jennifer decided to go with the Angela as well like Brittanni got, but she is going to have a different skirt on hers.  Her skirt is gong to be the party skirt on the bottom which is like the one that is on the bottom of my dress at the top.  Her and Brittanni’s dress are gong to be very similar, but Brittanni’s skirt is fitting and Jennifer’s skirt is more full. 

I am so excited they are all going to be absolutely beautiful.
