Junior Bridesmaids & Flower Girl

I got a text today from my Aunt Christi telling me that my cousins Taryn, Brooke and Ava have ordered their dresses. This is exciting news for two reasons; 1) Everything is slowly coming together for the wedding, and 2) They sent me this awesome picture of the girls trying on tiaras at the store. I love this picture and just had to share!

A Few Details...

Wedding planning is kicking into high gear now! I just got back from my visit with Michael in New Hampshire where we took some time to relax and just hang out together. I returned to a VERY long "to do" list and I have already started checking things off.
Mom found a great broach for the junior bridesmaid's dresses in a "Premier Designs" catalog. The girl's dresses are adorable but are a little plain so I wanted to add some sparkle and I think these will do the trick :).

We also found our photographer, Lahra Bryant. She is super sweet and has been very accommodating with our tight schedule. She was able to provide us with a great standard shot list of both formal pictures and key moments throughout the ceremony and reception and was open to any and all suggestions or additions. We are going to schedule a meeting with her soon to go over the details and hopefully do a walk through of the hotel before my bridal portraits. Michael and I are still undecided on engagement pictures since it will be a logistical nightmare with us being so far apart and we already have several professional pictures of us taken a couple of years ago.
I know these seem like small details but I am trying to keep this blog as updated as possible so I don't forget to mention anything. Thanks for checking it out!

Bridesmaid's Dresses & Registries

It's been a while since I have updated the blog but the last few papers due for my Summer classes were pretty tough. Somewhere along the way we found time to get Kaitlyn her dress and I picked out some really cute dresses for my junior bridesmaids (Taryn & Brooke) and flower girl (Ava). I don't want to give too much away so the picture included is of a dress in the same color and length as Kaitlyn's dress but is not the dress we picked out for her.
The same day we got Katy's dress I found out my dress was in :). When we got to the store I was able to try it on again and see it alongside Katy's and I was reminded again of how much I love it. After I ordered the dress I began having second thoughts about the style since it was a lot fancier than I was going to go for but seeing it again made me remember why I loved it so much.

When I got dress home and showed it to my Dad and Papa they were as happy with it as I was, it even got a few tears.
This week I am in New Hampshire visiting Michael and we have a ton to get done. Today we went to register at Bed, Bath & Beyond and Target and it wasn't as easy as i thought it would be. Trying to decorate a house we don't have yet is close to impossible so we stuck to kitchen items and ended up with two pretty hefty registries. I was pretty proud of Michael for making it all afternoon without complaining :). We still have to get Michael's ring and Tux while I'm up here and a ton more to do when I get home so wish us luck!
