Oh Daisy!

These last two or three weeks have been the exact reason why I wanted to start wedding planning super early! Well ok, I don't really think a 13 month engagement is long but some others, *cough*andrew*caugh* who think weddings can be planned in a couple hours (I think i've offically changed his mind) think so. Anyway, I have had absolutley no time in the last few weeks to even think about wedding planning. So the fact that I said the invites would be started months ago and now months later they haven't even been touched.... really doesn't bother me. I know that I have time to procrastinate and plenty of time to work on the invites. With all that said, last night I did make a little tiny baby step! I sat down last night and fiddled with the invites for the last time and then printed them all!! It really didn't take that long but was super nerve racking. I was so worried that I would print them all and then notice that something is wrong! I reassured myself many times that everything was perfect and then pressed print! Now they just need to be cut, embossed, mounted, put in envelopes, addressed, and stamped.... I told you it was just a baby step!

So this might not work because I haven't talked to the venue yet to see if they will let me have a fire BUT.... I think it would be really cool to have a fire pit and then have these cute little smore packets for people to make smores later in the night. What do ya think?

I'm not sure how many of you actually read my other blog (or this blog :( ) but I just posted over there about my classroom website that I just finished up. I re-created it THREE different times and finally gave into using iweb because it makes super cute websites very easily. I am super proud of how it turned out. I had to make it for one of my classes but really want to keep it up as part of my resume for applying to jobs at the end of the year and to use in my classroom next year! Take a look at it and let me know what you think!! (sorry that there is no new wedding news :( ) 

I've been playing around with stationary pieces like the reply cards and decided that the monogram theme didn't really work for them. So I created a new monogram. I think it will fit the flowery green feel of the wedding a little bit better. Let me know what you think!! p.s. this version of it is made in word and paint but I plan to make a photoshop version on a school computer so it will be more crisp!

The engagement pictures came in the mail yesterday!!! They turned out really good! We love them :) I'll post a few on here but i've posted more on our shutterfly account for the wedding. With all of the pictures she gave us she turned them all black and white, sepia, and played with them a little bit so I just picked my favorite one from that pose and posted it. I can show you them all when I see you all sometime! To log onto shutterfly go to http://www.shutterfly.com/, On the right there is a box that says sign up or already a member, click on already a member. Use the e-mail lynchduo@gmail.com and the password wedding (this is the account we created for the photo share cards we are going to use at the wedding). Then you can click on the E-pic album and there they are! (Mom, don't print these ones, wait until I come home and you can print the high resolution ones)

Of course one of the first questions women always ask me when they find out I am planning a wedding is "what are your colors?". I tell them green with accents of pink and ivory. Closely following that question is "what are your flowers going to look like?" I explain that the bridesmaids will be wearing black dresses and carrying green flowers and I promise you that not one of them has seen the vision! They all look at me like I'm crazy! Well just to prove that I'm not crazy (though sometimes that's negotiable) I thought I would share some of my flower inspiration pictures:

This is the very first picture that led me to believe that black dresses could be done at an early evening wedding and green flowers could work!

I might possibly let some pink in.... (but probably only for me. I don't think it would work with the girls green shoes. It really depends on which shoes we find.... if we ever find shoes.)

We had a very busy birthday weekend! Saturday morning we took the Engagement pictures. The weather was perfect!! Freezing cold but sunny and dry! They should be in the mail to me by Wednesday so hopefully by the weekend I can post some of them! We love our photographer and it was actually painless for Andy! Then we met with the catering company that we will probably go with. We have one or two more options but we have decide by the end of the week so it will probably be the one we met with. We are really happy with all of the services she can provide for us. Still more, we also met with the DJ on Saturday. The guy was really nice and seemed to understand the feel that we were going for. Andy was able to talk him down in his price some (thank you for his business degree :)) and I will drop off the deposit in the mail tomorrow! I am so excited to be checking things off of the massive list I have!
