So after talking, Charlie and I pretty much have everything hashed out for what we want. NOW comes the making of everything. In case you missed it, I'm a total DIY kind of girl. I have to make about 600 roses, 50 invitations, enough food to feed south east Alabama for a week, and every other decoration we're going to have.
I think I'm going to get started with the supplies I have here already which means... invitations! (maybe some paper roses, because I do have some coffee filters already.)
You can see how I did it on my blog here at Paper Junkie designs I'm making these in cream this time, though. Maybe some brown "natural" color -because I can also get the natural in bulk at Sams club. The white for what I'll need I have to order off of Amazon. We'll see. :)
Well, I'm off to scout pinterest and some other DIY blogs!

294 days until our wedding!
So, the date has been set- it's a definite for October 18th. Yes, I'm pregnant... again.
I'm "due" (MAN I hate that word!) April 15th. So, I have 6 months to drop some weight after the baby's born and kick some butt to get everything done! I'm prepping most everything before though.
DIY bride all the way!
So, yeah- I've narrowed it down to burlap and lace (with red accents). Our colors are tan/cream brown and red. Very rustic, very country and so very us!
Budget is still the same, but I'm going to see if I can do it on less than half! After all, we're just throwing a party; we've been married for a while.
Things I'm doing myself:
venue (our house with an enormous back yard)
invitations,
dress (mine, maids and my girls.)
food (making all appetizers and drinks as well as... shhh! wine!)
cake (actually doing cupcakes. Easier and prefer the portability of it!)
decorations (hello! I'm SO DIY)
flowers- (it's a toss up between actual flowers or hand made burlap and lace. will decide later)
And that covers everything except the alcohol (we're bikers, what can I say?) photography (I'm a darned good photographer, but can't do that myself!) and my shoes. Other than that- we're totally rocking the awesomeness!!
Pictures and everything updated as I get them done!
