Wedding Update

So, it's been a while since I posted an update on the wedding plans.

Eric's mom has ordered all of the supplies for the invitations. The last thing we are waiting on is a specialty cutter thing - I can't remember what it's called - that comes in on the 14th or so. Then we can officially start putting all the invitations together. It's turning out to be a lot cheaper than just ordering pre-made invitations.

The tuxedos have been selected. They are going to look really nice - the groomsmen will have black jacket/pants/tie, ivory shirt, and periwinkle vest. I think it's going to look really good. And then Eric will have black jacket/pants, ivory shirt, and ivory vest. The ivory on ivory looked really good. I'm not sure what he's going to do about a tie - either black or peri I guess. And the ushers will have just a basic black on ivory tux.

All the supplies for the centerpieces have been ordered and should be in - the mirrors came in yesterday, I think the floating candles are coming in today. All the vases are being stored at my grandmother's house.

I picked out my shoes yesterday. I will have to order them and I'm really hoping that I am able to wear these shoes all night without killing my feet. I'm not concerned about the heel, just my toes getting squished. I guess we'll just have to see! And I'll have to get a more comfy, back-up pair just in case! Here is a picture of the shoes - which will be dyed ivory.

RSVP

For our wedding, we have decided to do our own invitations. Eric's mom is a very talented woman when it comes to cards/scrapbooks/crafty stuff like that. So, she and I are going to make the wedding invitations. Below are some pictures of the basic idea - obviously the colors will be ivory, navy, and peri. Don't they look great?! She's going to put together a sketch of what we are basically going for, with our colors, so I can see what they will actually look like. After that, we will order all the materials and get to work! Hopefully we can spend a couple of weekends (or maybe more!) putting them together, and in the meantime, I can be gathering addresses for all the invitees. Hopefully by the time it's "proper" to send out invitations, we will have all of them put together. I'm very excited to be hand-making the invitations. I hope they turn out fabulous! I'm sure they will.
