Are you ready for your wedding?

No.

I always give the same answer to that question. It's one of the biggest days in woman's life, how could anyone feel ready?

I feel nervous, jittery, excited, happy, exhausted, all rolled into one. 135 have RSVP-ed. Its crazy to think I even know that many people.


Its only 8 days away.

Lucky for me after almost two years of planning, my sister and mother have taken over the planning which is amazing because it means I don't all the weight of the wedding on my shoulders anymore.

People ask me if I am ready for my wedding.
No.

What they should really ask if I am ready to married to my best friend?
Annoyed everday?
Laugh everyday?
Wake up to those beautiful blue eyes every morning? 
Become Mrs. Larry Polson and have more family to love then I could ever imagine?

Yes. Yes I am.

Wedding Make up Consultation with Beauty Of All Faces

More golden color on my left right eye, and more light pink make up on my right eye.

I love my face. I also love make up.

And for my wedding day I always knew I wanted a make up artist. It was just the task of finding one that did airbrushing was the hard part. When looking for a make up artist, it was a important for me to find one that had experience and a passion for make up.

With Beauty Of All Faces, they kinda fell into my lap. My good friend's cousin was getting married and had used them so I checked them out and like what I saw. I booked them for my engagement pictures to feel them out and I was really impressed with how professional and charming Danielle was. When I went in for my engagement pictures, I had no idea what I wanted but I know wanted something more natural (or as natural as you can get with make up :) and Danielle accomplished that (even my photographers  were complimenting how good make up was!)

I booked my wedding with Danielle the same day I got my engagement make up done. When booking a wedding with Beauty Of All Faces, you get a consultation before the wedding with two looks. I knew I wanted to try red lips but was heistant.

So when I did my two looks Danielle did one that was more for a look with red lips and another that with no red lips. I ended up not going with red lips and preferred the more pink look she gave me.

I love the fact that day of Beauty of all Faces comes to where ever you are and they are very flexible open to whatever wedding look you looking for.

But for me I love the drama of my make up and looking fab-u-lous!

Over and out,

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!,
