2 Weeks!

This blog has lost me. To many things to get done. To little time. I'm tired and I still have two weeks to go. There are certainly a lot of tasks and items checked off the list that I last posted. This is a good thing people, a very good thing! The program and table numbers are finished and will be printed tomorrow. I had a hair and makeup trial (fun times). We took engagement photos, can't wait to see those! Mom is doing some sign making. We met with our musicians and decided on songs. I bought a cocktail dress just in case it's too hot for me to wear the gown all night. Have my accessories, made the bridesmaid's necklaces. Got my shoes. A suit, shirt and shoes for Tayson. Wow, I'm tired just writing that. Oh ya, and we moved! It's been a really crazy month and I am getting so excited for everything to be finished and for the big day to be here! Yipee!!

Of course I still need to pick the flowers with my mom. Seriously, this is the hardest thing for me. I'm sure half of the posts on this wedding blog are related to flowers. It's cause I just love them! But I think I've narrowed it down.

Here are some pretties to gawk over.

White Poppies and Ranunculus.

Lisianthus, so soft and feminine.

Not my colours, but still pretty.

Cute wooden wedding sign

I like the idea of setting up the programs on a small antique table. 

(and another sign)

The think the likelihood of it being HOT is high, so some parasols will be a much needed accessory for the guests.

I think the patterned paper for the cover of the program is super cute, and the fact that it's displayed in an old crate.

Low down on the Low Bun

I'm leaning toward a low, pretty bun or twist at the nape of the neck.

I think it's really elegant and will keep the heat off.

It also looks nice with a small birdcage veil or a flower in the side.

Kate is always a pretty one!

I like this twisted looking do!

Pina's Perfectly Pink Wedding {Real Wedding}

BFF and I attended a pretty pink filled wedding last weekend. Pina is a good friend of BFF's from University whom I've had the pleasure of getting to know. One of the first times I met her was at dinner at her home where there were pink M&M's present. Enjoy the pictures from her beautiful wedding.

The Happy Couple!

All the best to the two of you in the days, months and years to come!

A Brunch of Fun

A lovely shower was thrown for me last weekend by my dad's side of the family. My Aunts and Cousins and I enjoyed an amazing brunch spread, lovingly prepared by everyone and graciously hosted by Kev and Ang. (my uncle and aunt whom I do not call "Aunt" nor "Uncle). I realized after I did not get a picture of the great food, but just to tickle your taste buds here is a sampling of what we chowed down on: Quiche, Rhubarb Muffins and baked Rhubarb Crumble, Apple Pancakes, Fresh Fruit and Yogurt, and lots more. It was all so GOOD!
I feel so blessed to be part of such a fun, loving, caring and supportive family.

 Cousins!

 The lovely Hostess! Thanks for everything Angie.

And Laura made this beautiful and tasty cake! 

Check out the amazing design, and it was her first time trying fondant. 

Florals

As the time nears closer I'm considering my options for the bouquets. Last night we finalized the bridesmaid's attire! Yipeee!!!! I don't want to give to much away, but here is the colour pallet for the flowers that would look wonderfully beautiful.

There is something about white poppies with black centers that I love.

Productive Busyness

A lot of items have been checked off the "I do" list as of late. Some of which are wedding related and others just related to life and the changes that are taking place. The biggest one that is off my list, is our new home! We found a place on the weekend in our ideal location. Is it the ideal place? Let's just say I imagined it differently, but God knows what was needed and before we left to view 5 places that morning, I prayed that he would direct us. We knew instantly that this was the one. I feel really relieved that this BIG decision is off the list.

Our officiant is booked! The sound system is booked! We met with a baker to design the cupcakes! Tayson came to the 'taste testing' and enjoyed it the most. He was cute giving his opinion. The best thing about the bakery is that it's a local company, located right in Kettleby! I couldn't believe it. Check out Dorio's Bakery.

I also ordered BFF's ring! Yipee! From the beginning he told me he was not a real ring kinda guy, so I located the perfect "non wedding ring" from Etsy seller Naturalezanica. Check out their shop which sells natural wood jewellery. Here is a sample of some rings:
