Patience! i need it and it seems some of my dearest friends need a small dose as well...
ha i'm kidding, i am waiting and waiting for my engagement photos from sara. ahhhh! soo very impatient.

slightly off topic but still under the huge umbrella of 'weddingness' i got my bridesmaid dress today for miss Elena's wedding. it is gorgeous and fits pretty darn perfectly, except for it being an inch too tall. easy enough to fix. here is a photo i took with my phone


the shoes are fabulous as well. they match the top of the dress so perfectly kudos to Em for such a fantastic find and for $20 bucks you can't beat that.

the dress is champagne color with the lace overlay on the top. maria, who is the maid of honor is wearing a slightly different dress that is gorgeous. here is my mock up that i did for elena to help her visualize the dresses and her choice of deep red roses. gorgeous!!!!
please ignore the fact that the roses are just floating there since their hands are actually behind them. use your imagination people!

it is less than fourteen days till elena's big one! i can't believe it went by that fast for her. my day seems to be dragging it's feet. yes yes, it will seem like it flew by when it FINALLY gets here but as of this moment in time.... it's taking the long road.

yay for engagement photos! we have ours scheduled for the first week in October. this will be a fun step in our wedding process. it will seem more real when we can share our photos with everyone and prove that we are engaged. for most it's only official when they can put up the ultimate 'engagement photo' album on facebook. lol i such a sucker, and following suit. however i must admit that the photography is one of the most important things to me. it just makes the day live a bit longer than 24 hours.

the following weekend jordan and i get to go and visit a dear friend and see her beautiful wedding at Zion National Park in Utah! That is going to be so very exciting and i can't wait (i attached a picture of Zion, such amazing beauty)

Stationary. this is an important part for me, being a graphic designer and all. i really have no idea where i want to head style wise. im drawn to a semi classic style but with some modern twists... who knows what that means.
the colors we have chosen are going to be a sage green and a navy blue. (now for those of you who don't understand 'picking colors,' and there are quite a few of you out there, this means that these are the accent colors throughout the whole wedding. yes white is a given, but there needs to be some kind of color scheme to accent all this white. so the sage is going to be the main accent with the navy as the secondary accent.)
here are a few stationary designs that have caught my eye. the third picture is an adorable idea where the couple takes pictures holding different numbers that correspond with the table numbering. then they are either placed at the table or within the escort cards. so adorable. which brings me to another point... i finally chose my photographer! SJMacky Photography take a look at her at her site, she has a very fun energetic style. great candid shots. i'm so very excited.
