A Gourmet Garter

Who knew garter's could be well, something other than, a bit tacky?

Who knew they could be a little classy?  Vintage.  G i r l y.

Stumbled upon this cute little site today {The Garter Girl} and found these garters.

The first in my favorite.  I know it looks like a little girl's headband, but I love it!  I'm not sexy, people.

The Dress

I've had my dress hanging on my closet door for a good part of the past week.

Zipped up of course.

(Again, forgive my iPhone photo quality)

But poor Jordan.  Temptation to look at the dress doesn't get any harder than when it's hanging on a closet in the hallway!

Finally today I had my fitting appointment - Andrea and I went to a place in Arvada called The Wedding Seamstress.  And this lady is THE wedding seamstress.   And totally affordable!  I am so relieved to have this taken care of!

Next on the list is designing invitations.  My vision is simple and clean.  With a big flower in the corner with a pop of color.  Val recommended a few at Paper Source.  See below.  You can also order the pink flower as a stamp which is brilliant - we could carry the graphic throughout other items for the wedding.

Andrea found this fabulous printing store in Littleton (can't remember the name) - I am hoping to take some design ideas to the store this weekend or next week.  If anyone has a simple flower graphic in mind, send it my way please!

 

Slacker

I am a total blog-slacker lately!

Was on The Knot reading over my "to-do" list tonight and hyperventilated over how much I have not done (that, according to the list, I should have done two months ago).

Cannot believe we've been engaged for almost 3 months!

Need to get my butt in gear - with blogging and actual wedding planning!

More later.

In the meantime, I hope you find humor in the picture below! (Forgive the horrible quality.  I took a picture of the Denver Post with my iPhone - I recommend clicking on the picture for a close-up!)

This is of Jordan and I at Sloan Lake halfway through the race to be Hitched in the Highlands!  The look on our faces cracks me up!  

Jordan's sheer look of determination.

The look of horror on my face.

Splash of Color to Keep Me Warm

Should be working right now but I'm waiting for a few packages of samples to be delivered. He gave me a 2 hour window of 8-10a.m. Ri-dic-ulous! So what does a girl do? Blog, of course.

A few updates:

• Pretty much set on the Heritage Todd Creek Golf Club as the reception site - working on the menu to finalize the logistics and date.
• Also found a beautiful church fairly close to HTCGC - the staff was amazingly friendly and we are coordinating our marriage classes now!
• .....Unless we win Hitched in the Highlands on Sunday (totally will)
• And if that happens, I no longer have to worry about any of this!

Regardless of where we get married, I figure I am going to need a cute lil' cardigan to keep me warm at the reception. An easy way to add in color without getting anxiety and changing my mind. :)

All Cardigans @ Anthropologie

What do you think? Too casual? Should I look for something dressier? Ideas?

I SO wish I could post a picture of my beautiful dress on the blog. My lovely fiance reads my blog (Aww!) and I would die if he saw it.

But just a hint. It is a Melissa Sweet.

Gorgeous!

I am in love! With something other than Jordan.

I NEED this bouquet.

I seriously am drooling over this flower combination as I type this.

That's all for today.

Maybe more later!
