My journey, so far Escort cards, Wedding band, tux and more!

So busy lately. I was reading on a blog about the different types of brides and one of the types was "Do It Herself Bride" and "People Pleaser Bride". I would have to say I am little bit of both of those, so instead of asking for help I have been trying to do everything myself. Unfortunately I am learning that I can't do the work of 20 people :( Anyway  I was most worried about escort cards,  my wedding band, tux, guest book and table centers. So here is update on those things.
 I guess I'll try to make this post as organized as possible but I can't promise anything.

Escort Cards

I decided AGAINST assigned seating too much of a hassle. But I am reserving tables for family and coworkers, so they will at least get a chance to sit next to each other. :)

The Wedding Band 

One thing my older sister told me when I was looking for a ring was to find a set. Unfortunately, I fell in love with a ring that wasn't a set and square, making things way more difficult to find a band that would
A) Match
B) Not overpower my engagement ring.
We went to Zales, several times but I didn't see anything think "This is it!" Finally we went to Zales at Jordan Creek Mall, and after me staring at and fingering rings for what seem like forever. I found one.

 

I love this ring. It doesn't overpower but enhances my already beautiful engagement ring. It makes me happy and very anxious for the when I get to wear it everyday. :) 

The Tux  

We got the boys (most anyway) already fitted for their tux and got color scheme picked out. All the boys in red ties and Larry will be in a white tie with black shirts. My nephew requested to be in a bowtie, so I got him black bow tie with a white shirt. :)

The Guestbook

I've always known we wouldn't go with a traditional guestbook but there are a lot of nontraditional options out there. It was a decision between a signature plate or frame. We chose a frame because I would be heartbroken if I had the plate on display and it got kicked over while we had people vising the house or something. So we decided on a frame from Exclusivelyweddings.com. It's a 18x23 and can hold about 175 signatures and right now our guest list is only at 130, so we should be good. I love anything that I can display after the wedding.

 

Tablecenters 

Still working on my table centers! I wanted to do a mock up but still looking for a couple things. But I have 3 more vases to make...17 vases done! But I am going to have red roses in each vase. But still very much under construction. 

Well thats all I am working on right now. Over and out!,
