Just SO ready!

lovely&bones

Hey ladies.

I'm in a chatty mood tonight and had a full day of wedding shopping. Thought I'd come by and blab on here since I can freely do that :P

I'm really just curious to see if anyone has had a low key, low budget DIY wedding like I am planning?

We're catering ourselves, I bought our invites for $10 a box at Hobby Lobby and added my own touches, etc...

I am OUT of wedding projects! I had cancer / was on chemotherapy for 18 months so I spent my entire recovery period occupying myself with DIY projects. Looking forward to my wedding was the ONLY thing that got me through this past year. 

We're also getting ready to move into our new place. It's not a house... it's a duplex that my parents own and we get to live in for $200 a month. But it's ours. Fully renovated in every single cosmetic aspect. Huge windows, beautiful wood features.

I'm ready to do this! To get married, move, have a baby and be HEALTHY!

Sorry for all of the rambles, I'm just so dang excited.

We're planning a low budget DYI wedding for this spring and Im all kinds of excited for it also! It feels like I cant think of anything but wedding planning...Im completely obsessed! I live in a VERY small apartment and dont have a lot of room to do my DYI projects...or to store them for the next 5 months once they're done so Im very anxious to be able to get started. I bet you come up with more projects to keep you busy especially with the new house! Good luck with everything!

Aww. It's so refreshing to hear a nice, positive attitude, and especially after all you've been through. I hope your planning continues on such a stress free path!

We are planning a pretty laidback affair, but not really much DIY besides STD's and favors. Maybe the invites, we will see.

Thanks for sharing your excitement with us!  :  )  Are you SURE there are no other DIY projects to do?  I've never heard of a bride running out of things to do, ha ha.  Have fun planning!

I am right there with you!

I got teary-eyed reading the replies to this!

I bought a flower for my hair last night, paid $100 for it but I really think I want to make a cheaper version of these for my MOH and the flower girls. If I do decide to do them, I will post some pictures.

Thanks again, ladies!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!! xoxoxoxoxo
