This wedding just got 100x easier.

I am a very happy girl. I found this website that has a TON of free templates for things like menus, labels, table numbers, save a dates, and a ton of other userful things. I've already made our head table signs, which you can see below from a free template they offer.

  DIY sign frames that sit on the front of the head table instead of signs that go on the back of your chairs :)

 

 

 

 

I am having an awesome time, finding stuff and adding my own style to it instead of buying stuff. :)

Love,

Ordered backdrops!!!

Not what my tables are going to look like but example of my backdrop!

First of all I love Des Moines Rental   Every time I call them, they are nice and answer any and all of my questions. I have already ordered my square plates from them and now just recently ordered my backdrops. They have reasonable prices. :) As of right now that's the only update I have, just waiting for my Save A Dates to arrive in the mail and just picked a day to try on dresses with my lovely girls.

Love,

Engagement Photo shoot with Red Door Photo & Design

If there was ever a picture to described the whole photo shoot, it would be this one. I started the the day, nervous and worried about how our pictures would come out. What if I looked extra fat in all of them or Larry didn't smile in any of them, these are all thoughts were going through my head.

The photo shoot, itself was at 2 pm on Sunday and I had appointment with my Make up Artist Danielle from Beauty of All Faces  at around 12 pm. I let her know what I wanted and she made my face look 100x times better then I thought it could be (very excited to work with her again for my wedding!)

A close up, my smile is so huge! 

We met up with my Photographers at the railroad by the Police Station. And I got out of the car, full of nerves and worried but as soon as I started talking to them that all disappeared. Paul and Tammy are amazing and the whole photo session was full of laughter. You can see in a lot of pictures are of us laughing the whole time. That's why I think the first picture describes the whole session the best.I think the pictures came out awesome and I can't wait until the wedding. But I have included a lot of pictures below that I didn't put on Facebook, because I am lazy.

FIVE MONTHS!

Its so close

5 months and I couldn't feel more unprepared.
I started everything early so I wouldn't feel like this.
But with the house and starting a new job,
the wedding got pushed to back.
So now I am here and trying not to freak out
and ensure I have the best day of the rest of my life.

Deep breath.
 
I have a lot of things to do still like pick out table centers, the invites, shoes, the girls' dresses and the list goes on.

I finally got the save dates picked out and I haven't even let any of my girls look at them. 
I decided it's gonna be surprise for everyone. :)

And for the time being I am going to relax because at the end of the day,
I have amazing wedding party to help me.
:)

I got a Oriental Trading  magazine in the mail for wedding stuff they have. I have found quite alot of stuff that I like in there and its nice to know I can find alot of stuff in one spot.

Love,

Future Mrs. Polson 

PS I'll do a post on Engagement pictures soon! And show some that I haven't posted on FB :) 

Update on the wedding.

Wedding < House.

I haven't done anything for the wedding! :( I've just been working on the house  so much, planning for the wedding gets the backseat.

Hoping to change that soon since time is a ticking away.

Dress found and bought.

Just bought this beautiful lace dress yesterday! So happy and excited. I tried it on a couple months ago and will get it in the mail in a couple days. Glad to finally not have to worry about a dress, now on to everything else. YAY!

Love,

Future Mrs. Polson 

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. :)
