My heart is a flutter.

The time is getting closer! 2012 is only a couple days away. And I'm super nervous.

You know how they give you that to do list on the knot or any other wedding website you join?

I haven't looked at mine in months. I'm nervous to look at it. What if I am behind? What if there is something I've missed? I plan to look at it tonight after work. Right now I am just slowly gathering information (address of my guests) and looking over my expense sheet. Weddings are hard work and my heart is a flutter with nervousness.

One thing I do feel good about is I just booked my make up artist for my engagement pictures.

I know very well most brides to be don't have make up artists for their engagement pictures but I am interested in them for while and would like to have them do  my wedding, as well.

But I wanted to try them first, before the big day. I will include a link in the posting, in case anyone else is interested in them for their special events, or anything.

Wish me luck for the year 2012, it's going to be whirlwind. :)

Thank you Microsoft for helping me with my wedding.

So like any bride to be, I know its really important to stay organized. For me that is gonna be close to impossible because I'm so disorganized. So I decided for the next year I'm gonna start getting friendly with EXCEL. But unfortunately, I didn't pay too much attention in computer class, but I know how to Google something fierce. Because I'm not too fancy with EXCEL, I found these really neat downloadable templates.I really like the fact I get to use something that looks so neat with little to no work on my part. :)

Bridesmaid Dresses +Target = Love

Target Bridesmaid Collection 

If you needed another reason to love Target...here it is! Super cute affordable dresses at $69.99. They have lots of styles, colors and three different types of fabric, Shantung, Chiffon, and of course Sateen.

I sounds like a salesman! haha. I do adore these dresses though.
There are two styles, I'm interested in for my girls.

First one is a style I've been stalking for a while for my bridesmaids but second looks really comfy and cute.

The same dress in black since it's the color my maids will be wearing.

Again in black!

The Most Helpful Blogs EVER...to me at least.

Being a bride to be is hard.
Making decisions for the one day that will affect your whole life is very hard.
Allow me to introduce some blogs that may make it a little big easier on you.

 Snippet and Ink
A blog that is just bursting with wedding inspiration.

 Des Moines Wedding Savvy
A blog that has AMAZING list of Des Moines Vendors that (sorry) The Knot or even of the other
wedding websites I go to can't even touch. Very helpful!

As I come across more I'll add them to the list. But enjoy!

Things to do!

So now that we have mostly everything straighten out with our new house! I can now go back to focusing again on my upcoming wedding! I have the photographer, church, reception, and flowers booked. Just needing to focus on some big things:

• Bridesmaid Dresses 
• My Dress  
• Table Centers 
• Chairs
• Food 

  My focus right now is on the tables. I have no clue what my table centers are going to be! I have lots of cool ideas and seen lots of cool things done but I think I want to stick with something simple and sweet.

I like to draw so I'm probably going to draw a couple ideas up. All I know is that it will include rose petals, because I love love love red roses. Wish me luck!

     Love,
    Future Mrs. Polson
