Hellooooooooo Ladies!
Tomorrow is JULY!!!! Holy crud!! I can't believe I've already been engaged for 6 months....that seems insane to me!
Anyways, tomorrow I'm venturing out with my whole crew of bridesmaids, junior bridesmaids, moms, and adorable flower girl to get them fitted for their dresses!!! (well, all except the flower girl, who right now is a whopping 7 months old!) I know this is early BUT one of my girls is from AZ and is here for another wedding....so we wanted to do this all together and it seemed like the perfect time! Plus, it was so difficult for me to actually find a dress that I loved so the dress shop suggested that since I found the one, it's better to order them asap so the designer doesn't discontinue it. SO excited to have everyone together and doing official wedding stuff!!!!

Our save-the-dates are officially in the hands of *most* of our intended guests. Joel and I got sooo many texts/calls yesterday about how excited everyone was....people even booked rooms at the resort yesterday! I'm relieved that the consensus is that it was perfect timing- I couldn't help but feel that it was way early to send them, but we were advised by the resort to send them out because they book up quickly...especially the week of the 4th! We even reserved our "grand corner suite"
yay!
I was invited to see a beach ceremony there in May and it was gorgeous! I'm so excited to get married there! The musicians playing the ceremony music were wonderful and were actually ones that I had previously contacted. After seeing them in action, we reserved them for our nig day! Check!
Sending out the deposit for our amazing videographers today...I'm obsessed with their trailers on their website....

Now, onto my DIY idea...
I forget where I was browsing a couple of months ago, but I found what I though was an ingenious idea! Vases for the bouquets at the reception! My plan is to buy the vases somewhere, probably Michaels or AC Moore, and personalize them with their names and add some decorations to match our theme/colors! Perhaps some seashells attached to ribbon around it? Not exactly sure, but I'm super excited and motivated to do it!
Here's the inspiration:
I want to do their names in a dark color so they stick out....
What do you ladies think???
Sorry for the long post!! I was kind of off wedding-mode for the past couple of months with end of school year stuff....but I'm off for the summer and back onto planning mode!!!
WOO!
