Another awesome website

I am going to feature another great blog that I love getting ideas - From I will to I do.

I was so thrilled to see this recent entry, because I am contemplating doing this, because we have a Sunday wedding and the place where we are holding it will also have Saturday weddings going on...

A Rehersal Luncheon
I don't know why the bride and groom planned it this way, but I like the idea. While it's true that the bride (and groom) have a lot to do the day before the wedding, scheduling a lunch time or afternoon rehearsal and meal will force the couple to check off every to-do early and give them a quiet evening to relax, and enough time to get a goodnight sleep before the big day. Also, a luncheon will be less expensive than a formal dinner.

Jim Hjelm

Next off the list is my bridesmaids dresses. I love, love my designer of my dress -Jim Hjelm. He was the designer of President Nixon's daughters wedding dresses. So here is something I am looking into, but in a deep chocolate!

More off the Checklist

So I think I have my photographer and pastor...so lets check those off the list.

The head photographer actually had his wedding this weekend, so I can't finish the details just yet, but it seems like we will have that done by the end of the week. I am so happy, because I love these guys. They do absolutely the best work I have ever seen...

On Thursday, my mom called me to inform me that their really good friend is willing to do the wedding. We just have to pay for a hotel room, so again - I could probably get married this year and not next spring with the way things are working out (knock on wood).

Another Damn you, Martha

Yeah, Yeah! Martha Stewart Weddings editor Darcy Miller is now doing her own blog. She seriously has the best ideas out there!

Today's Throwing a Wedding

Sorry -actually been very busy with work, etc. However, every year I get excited over the Today's Show throwing a wedding special! This year it is even better because Martha Stewart is going to be part of the planning! Yeah - love cross branding - Today and Martha.

So who have you voted for? My feeling is Alisa and Jason - of course - a big reason for me was because they are from Chi-town!!

Love This!

Probably the best site ever...someecards.com.

Some more ongoing projects...

Two things I am hoping to nail down by the end of this week. I am working on sending out the Save the Date magnets....long and somewhat annoying project. But I realized that the website design that I am using for our "wedding" website also came with a managing guest list function. It is awesome. All I need to do is type in all my guest's names and addresses - and then paste onto a template and tada - I have mailing labels.

Second project is finding a photographer. I LOVE, LOVE - Studio This Is (http://www.studiothisis.com/). But a little pricey. Going to talk to the head photographer later this week. Keep your fingers crossed.
