Bridal Portrait, Invitations, and Napkins... Oh My!

Whew! What a week! It started out with my bridal portrait on Monday. I had a beautiful bouquet (thanks Joan) of pink Gerber Daisies. Had my hair done by Joy, it looked perfect and didn't move an inch! The dress fit great, the alterations were perfect!

So Dana took me to The House in the Horseshoe for an outside session. It was AWESOME! I can't wait to see the proofs. We also did some outside shots at The Old Mill and some inside shots at her studio.

I will tell you that when I put on the dress at the studio I had a bit of a "moment". I hadn't seen everything together, and when I saw the dress, the hair, the shoes, the jewelry, the makeup, the flowers, the everything... my heart skipped... I am getting married... whoa. It was a neat moment. Wonder when Matt will have his moment... at the alter when he falls out cold probably.

Matt and I also just sent the order in for our invitations. I can't wait to get them back. They are going to be perfect! Brandi was so awesome, if you ever need anything printed she's the one to go to! We also ordered cake napkins through her. They are super cute and Matt picked the design out.

Tomorrow we are going back to the jewelers to really pick out the bands (haha). As many of you know this has been something we can't decide on. So tomorrow is it, we are really going to do it (or so we claim). I can't decide about engraving though...

Well that is about it for now. I think as soon as I get these invitations sent out I will be on easy street (or at least that is what I am telling myself).

Bridal Shower *Lots of Pictures*

My wonderful family gave me a bridal shower this past Saturday. A big THANK YOU to everyone who came and a double thank you for all the wonderful gifts! Here are some pictures of the shower.


The table before the punchbowl was placed on the end... isn't it pretty!?


Cupcakes and a yummy cheeseball! And pink daisies!
