80 Days!

I know it has been forever since I have updated the blog and there is so much to say so I will just get right into it. We found Kellie, and her company Vanity Room to do hair and makeup for my sister and me for the wedding. I was able to schedule my trial run for today and was completely in love with everything she did. I actually stopped noticing the fake eyelashes after a few minutes and the makeup lasted for the rest of the day, despite 100 degree heat.

The picture is of the hairstyle I didn't choose so don't get excited :). I am trying to walk a fine line between filling people in with wedding details and giving away too much of the surprise.

We were also able to decide on the flower arrangements for the centerpieces. We went to a flower wholesaler in downtown San Antonio and bought every kind of purple flower they had that would be available in December and brought them home to figure out how the centerpieces were going to look. Nina and Mom spent a few hours doing the work while I offered suggestions and pretty soon we had a beautiful centerpiece worked out. The picture really doesn't do it justice. I am so happy with the way this is all turning out.
P.S. Ignore the blue plastic table cloth, I was trying to save Mom's table from scratches.

Finally, My something old, something borrowed and something blue are taken care of all in one! My Grandma started the tradition of wearing her aunt's glass bead necklace to get married in 50 years ago when she married my Papa and my Mom wore it 26 years ago when she married my Dad. Grandma was nice enough to have the necklace restrung and the clasp replaced and we added two blue beads for the "something blue". I am so proud to carry on the tradition and I love how it looks with my dress.

Ok, that's all for now but I will be sure to post more soon. Things are coming together so well and I am getting so excited as the big day gets closer!

Vendors are All Lined Up :)

This post is not only for those of you who are interested in our wedding details but also for those of you who may be planning a wedding in San Antonio as well. I have spent several weeks researching and talking with these vendors and I am very happy to say that it looks like they are all lining up nicely.

I have yet to find a florist but I will post it as soon as I do.

My friend Jordynn's mother, Lisa, is starting up a wedding planning business called Storybook Endings with her friend Jonett and has asked if she can do a candy bar for us. I was thrilled, of course, that she was willing to do it because I honestly don't know where I would have found the time and I was really hoping to have it as wedding favors for our guests. The picture below is a candy bar she did for a baby shower and I thought it was adorable.

I also wanted to include a picture of the champagne flutes I found for Michael and me and our cake knives that I found at this amazing boutique called Sisters. They are PERFECT for the wedding! Thank you Grandma for the early wedding gift :).
