I don’t really consider myself to be that sentimental. I don’t keep movie stubs of first dates, I don’t keep old yearbooks for memories (I barely know where my college diploma is… hmm, I should find that), etc. I was just never good at that stuff.

But today I looked at my counter, which counts down to my wedding day, and my heart gave a little…

I wrote a post a while back about what to wear to a wedding. Last night, as I was walking down to my acupuncture appointment, I noticed a dress in the window of Ann Taylor Loft. I gotta say, their clothes have really surprised me because they’re pretty trendy and yet perfect for work (although, I have been told that I buy conservative clothes). They…

As the date gets closer and closer, I find myself with less and less things to do for the wedding. Aside from confirming every vendor, I barely have anything left to do!

At the moment, my to-do list looks like this:

• Wait for programs, escort cards, menus and table cards to be delivered.
• Make petal cones.
• Write out the responsibilities and schedules to hand out at the…

I’m overwhelmed.

Work has been incredibly stressful lately. I really have to finish several projects before I leave for the wedding/honeymoon vacation. I also have a ton of school things to do, including studying for a final, writing a paper, and trying to participate in my group project while I’m on my honeymoon. Add the two things to my hectic schedule and every little thing I…

Ok….I can barely contain myself as I write this. My photographer is freaking AWESOME. We took the pics last Monday afternoon, and he had them uploaded to pictage on Thursday night. I chose several shots that I wanted to post, and he customized the toning and processed them today! Isn’t he amazing??

Most of the pics are in black and white, since those are the ones…

I cannot thank my bridesmaids enough for my wonderful shower. I absolutely loved everything about it! My favorite part? The shower favors, of course!

I’m not sure, but I think in reponse to my cry for help on my seriously bad habit, the girls came up with such a brilliant idea for shower favors. It’s something that I desperately needed, and yet something that everyone could…

I know I posted some of these pictures before, but I wanted to elaborate on them just a little bit.

Ok, I have never been a scrapbooking type of person. But after receiving this scrapbook, I really can see myself getting into it! Who knows? I may make a scrapbook of my honeymoon after I get back.

I’ve been a gooood girl. I sent out my thank you cards for the bridal shower gifts one week after receiving them. Aren’t you so proud? Ok, to be honest, I just really wanted to use my thank you gift box that I received from Mrs. Bee.

Deluxe Bridal Gift Box from Paper Bride

This box contains the cutest, most adorable thank you cards ever!

I’m in love with my progams. Seriously, I never thought of myself as a very creative type, and I haven’t particularly been that creative during my wedding planning process. But with a ton of help from Custom-Programs, my invitations, programs and menus came out beautifully!

Here is the mock-up of my program.

Mr. Butterfly picked up the rest of the groomsmen’s gifts yesterday! Yay! Another thing off our to-do list.

We decided to go with the fake business cards for the groomsmen and ushers, with fake wedding titles. I absolutely loved the idea, but we needed something else aside from just the cards. At first, we wanted to get them business card holders, but to be honest,…

I had to do my own makeup for the engagement pictures but I don’t know how to apply makeup. I learned a little from my friends during my clubbing days, but usually I just let them put it on me. For day to day (when I used to wear makeup to work), I just put on a little powder, eyeliner, mascara and blush. I am…

This past weekend, I went to Bliss Spa to get a facial. I don’t usually get facials, but since my friends got me a gift certificate, I figured I should go. And boy, am I glad I did!

I wanted to get the Steep Clean, but based on my skin type, my facialist thought I should get the Triple Oxygen Treatment with some adjustments. It included…

In less than a month, I will be getting married. Woah.

During the entire engagement period, I never felt the impact of those words. It just felt like Mr. Butterfly and I were living together, and we happened to be planning a wedding. It didn’t feel like we were getting married… until Monday. We both took a day off from work and headed downtown to…

Remember my idea about mini-bells for the menus? Well, they’re finally in and I love them! Look how small they are!

Fooooooood!!!!!!

Yummy sandwiches made by my bridesmaids.

Home made pigs in the blanket (a blanket?). Soooooo goood. Gimme the recipes!
