Old Soul, Young Heart

Can you believe that this is the fourth edition of Wedding Wednesday? I can't believe I've been doing this for a month already! Wedding Wednesday We were in the Farmington Shopper--front page! We were also in the Peoria Journal Star, but I haven't seen it yet. This weekend I ran around to five bridal stores (two here in Bloomington, two in Morton, and one in Peoria) to see what types of belts/sashes they had. I found one that I really liked at a store in Morton and would have bought it if it were the right color. It was even on sale! Did you know that Diamond White exists as a color? Oh, it does. And it's in between the colors of white and ivory. My dress is white and the sash that was on sale was Diamond White, so it didn't work out. Poo. There was another one that I loved, but it was $330. Yeah. I'm researching websites to see if I can find it any cheaper. The bridal store in Peoria had sashes that started at $350 and went up to $650. For a sash! T...

Philip reads my blog regularly and I asked him if he thinks Wedding Wednesday is nerdy and he said, "kinda." Ha. Wedding Wednesday! I've been DIYing the invitations quite a bit. I can't wait to see what the finished product looks like. Right now I'm like one-fourth of the way done with them and even that has taken a long time, so I hope I don't regret making them myself haha. I've run out of the paper that I need, so I'm feel like I'm running to Hobby Lobby like every other day. I made my first fitting appointment for my wedding gown. I have to admit that as I was making that call, it all felt really real to me. The appointment's not until August 4. It'll be fun to put that dress on again! Michele and my aunt have both gotten their bridesmaid dresses. Here's Michele in her's! Lovely. The color is so pretty! 108 Days Until Our Wedding!

(Okay... I wrote this entry last night and apparently it didn't save, so here we go again!) My aunt got her bridesmaid dress yesterday! I love it and she looks so great in it! I'll go with Brooke and the flower girls in a couple weekends to choose their dresses. It's all coming together! And I finally got pictures of ME in my wedding dress!
