Progress, Progress, Progress

It's been far too long.

I apologize for my lack of blogging goodness. Things got busy at the beginning of this year and I moved it to the back burner unintentionally. But, all excuses aside, here I am and I'm back in the saddle.

Wedding plans have been smooth sailing for Jake and I. In the last post I reported that I had purchased my dress (which I'm uber excited about!). Since then, a few things have been decided:

• Florist is secured and we're meeting at the end of the month
• I added a bridesmaid (more about that later)
• Decorations have been purchased
• Honeymoon has been booked
• Officiant has been booked
• Invitations and Save The Dates have been designed

I'm sure there are more things on that list, but it's early and my brain isn't at full functioning capacity yet.

In the next blog post I'll introduce our wedding party. For now I'll share some inspiration and give you an idea of how our wedding will look.

Jake and I, being the pseudo dirty hippies we are, want everything to be laid back and fun and as eco-friendly and natural as possible. Here are a few inspiration collages I made depicting the "feel" of our wedding:





As you can see, lots of plants, lots of color, lots of garden gnomes. That's right ... the jolly little guys with pointy hats are making an appearance at our wedding. They were just calling out to me from the Hobby Lobby shelf ... "Buy us! We're 50% off!" I couldn't resist.


Another small piece of the wedding that came together during my mini-hiatus is the flowergirl outfit.

I ordered a custom-made crown from a seller on Etsy name Whichgoose. She is amazing. Based on a short description on the wedding, here's what she came up with:


::Edited:: I was going to post a photo of Lydia's dress, but for some reason it isn't working. Apologies.

*Side Note* If anyone can come up with a better title than "flowergirl" please let me know.

Well, I think that's enough wedding goodness for now. I promise from now on there will be more frequent updates. Cheers!
