Pretty Wedding Things

So I have been pretty happy these days. Last time I blogged I was sure that my wedding planner search had ended in epic failure. Thanks to my ever resourceful future SIL, I was referred to another wedding planner and so far she has been AMAZING! She has been on top of stuff and just knowing she is there has been a huge sigh of relief already. I pray that everything continues to go smoothly.



I love this cake, the flowers make a simple cake look breathtaking.

Here is a simple DIY project for you crafty bride to be's. Just attach a pretty farbric to an otherwise run of the mill notebook to tranform into an OOhh lala guest book! Its such a simple project that be can be done fairly quickly while hanging out at home and its an easy task to cross off that intimidatingly long to do list. Shudder. (Bluemagpieinvitations.com)

Wedding Planner Search: Epic Fail

I have been waiting for this wedding planner to send me the contract so I could approve and finally decide if I wanted to use her or not. Instead I got an email stating that she booked another wedding on the same day. I don't know, she told me that she was free on May 1st. Perhaps the other bride needed way more help than I did. Either way it sucks, because I really liked them. I guess my search is back on; something else on my list to do.

Wedding Planner Search: is it Over?

I have been MIA for a couple weeks because I started my second clinical rotation. The hours are killing me but hopefully my body is getting used to being up at 5 in the morning.
On the wedding tip: I emailed a wedding planner that I had been interested in a few months ago and we had a phone conversation earlier this afternoon. Compared to other Wedding planners, I really like her so hopefully it works out after I see her estimated price quote. I have been fighting the idea of having a wedding planner but I really need one. The reality is really hitting me that our wedding is seven months away and I have so much to do. I feel a tad overwhelmed on the wedding front in addition to all the other stuff I have to do before I officially finish my academics in Dec.
I am determined to get right back into wedding planning again. Why do I suddenly feel tired again?
My parents are still trying to squeeze more people out of the guest list and it is soo not happening. I'm trying to streamline my personal guest list so they can have a few more people but at the same time I don't want to. I would like my close friends to be at my wedding as well, so I don't want to budge too much.
Happy Sunday!
