10 days

The countdown contines....
10 DAYS!!!!!

My days have been spent doing alot of this....

Planning, planning, planning....

All I can seem to think is "What am I forgetting?" I'm feeling pretty anxious and yes, a little stressed. When it comes down to it, I wish I were rich. Things seem to be working them selves out pretty well but I'm trying to stick to a budget. Budget's are hard. No matter what you are budgeting for. When it comes down to it, we will probably end up spending alot more than we actually anticipated but I seem to think it will all be more than worth it. A few plans....

We will mostly be using sunflowers....

Our colors are brown, orange, and yellow. We are trying to stick to a "fall" theme and it seems to be working out pretty well. We are getting married at 6:30 pm and according the the farmer's almanac the sun should set at 6:27 pm. Our plans are for candles, candles, and more candles. We are planning to hang mason jars (quart & pint size) everywhere with candles in side. We may even add a few white lights. ;) I sure don't think it could hurt.

I'm hoping for my bouquet to look like something along the lines of this one....
Minus the red gerbera daisies. We will be using more sunflowers and less gerbera daisies. I hope it turns out this great. I don't doubt my wedding coordinator one bit ;)

I know I made a previous post about the cupcake pom poms but we decided against them. They were just going to be too expensive. The 10" styrofoam balls were running like $20 a piece. That would have just gotten out of hand expensive. I'm pretty content with all the ideas we have though. These were just a few. I can't wait to see it all come together on the night of the wedding. I am scheduled to pick my dress up from alterations tomorrow. Then Friday, the girls I work with are having me a Bridal lunch at a restaurant here in town. I'm pretty excited. This weekend we plan on doing a few last minute things like getting the boys outfits. Hopefully we can find just what I want instead of having to look and look. Wish me luck. :) Other than that we just have a few minor things to check off our list. It's creeping up on us and will be here before we know it!

I'll end my post with a few of our sweet boy.... (Sorry they aren't too clear, they were taken with my phone)



Happy Wednesday!!!!

  1. I'm sure your wedding will be beautiful. No matter how small and inexpensive you try to keep it, it adds up fast. We had a small wedding with just family and friends and it turned out great. Don't be stressed it will be over before you know it.
