Taking advice from brides before me...

So after my last post about being bored and having nothing to do, I heard and am LISTENING to advice I was given.  I am going to use this "down time" to work on the mundane projects that I would have undoubtedly saved until the last minute.  

I'm going to hunt the thrift stores for popcorn containers....
I'm going to spend countless hours taking the paper off of crayons and melting them into my letter molds...
I'm going to search for the perfect baskets for the pashminas and flip flops...
I'm going to weigh the pros and cons of silk vs. real flowers to make pomanders for the flower girls to carry.  I really hate hate HATE silk flowers, but I would love to do this project well in advance...
I'm going to search for the perfect mason jars and ribbon for the aisle decorations...
And I'm going to enjoy every bit of it!  Hopefully doing this will make the time go by faster!!

I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL weekend!

All is quite in weddingville...

I heard it happens....
The lull between frantically booking vendors and planning details-and the actual wedding. 
It's true.  I'm in it now.  And I am B-O-R-E-D.  
We are almost 6 months away from our wedding.  
And there is nothing to do.
Which makes this girl sad. 

Here are a few details I'm excited about including in our reception...
Flip flop basket (cuter basket) with something cute like "kick off your heels and dance"

Pashmina basket with something like, "snuggle up and stay warm"
This one is super cute.

I need a new hobby.  Or I need to start planning other peoples weddings.  I love it way too much for my own good.  And I'm already sad for the planning to be over.  

I'm a freak.
