Invitation Proof. / Wedding Dress.

Got the wedding invitation proof today but there is only one so I am not going to share it with all of you since I want to keep it a secret. After the actual invites go out I'll be more than happy to share with everyone the layout of the invitation for those of you who wouldn't otherwise see it. Here is the only tiny sneak peek to a small piece of it:

As for the wedding dress, it also came today and is just PERFECT. I am extremely excited about it. I vote the next 185 days go by quickly. I can't wait to be a bride!

Wedding Shoes.

After a TON of contemplation between what kind of shoe I wanted for my wedding, I came across a pair of DARLING flats that are entirely too expensive. So, my friend Mikaela offered to create my very own custom-made wedding flats and I know for a fact they are going to be simply amazing, since she is fantastic at making things. :)

Here is the main shoe we are basing the homemade one off of:

And here is the pair that I am getting to have her decorate:

Say Yes to the Dress.

It's official... as of today my wedding dress will be purchased. And yes, it's from BHLDN and yes, it is one of the many photos I posted a few days ago. But can I tell you which one it is? NOPE! That one is a surprise, either for those of you attending the wedding or those of you who will be viewing the photos after everything has come and gone.

New Purchases.

I went to Anthropologie the other day and got two decorative pieces for the wedding. The mugs I am unsure what I am going to fill with yet or place, but the letters I plan on hanging from a rafter inside of the barn where the reception is going to be held, over the table that is going to hold the guest thumbprint tree as well as the postcards people are going to write their well-wishes on. :)

BHLDN.

I am extremely excited for Valentine's Day this year even more than normal, for the simple fact that it's the same day Anthropologie launches their wedding line. Just in time for my very own wedding. :) I haven't gotten the best glimpse yet at the line, but there were quite a few people who got a sneak peek and posted photos to my excitement. :) The top 3 are my favorites.

Wedding Party Entrance Order.

After over a half hour of placing everyone in every order imaginable, I came to the conclusion with Charles's help of how the entry was going to work out. I wanted to stagger the 3 different dresses perfectly in an order that would make sense color-wise. I also had to incorporate the fact that even though Gregg is the best man, Brady is walking in front of Gregg during the entrance since his wife, McKenna, is my maid of honor, and then they're switching. But I finally figured it out:

Shepherd is one of my bridesmaid's cousin and an extremely talented videographer. When I saw his work, I knew right away that I needed to snag him for my wedding. Here is a sample video of his work, of a wedding he shot this past year.
