Details are all falling into place. Still tons to do but you know what, I still love wedding planning. Am I insane to be saying that 10 days before the wedding? Or perhaps I am in total and utter denial. Hmmm….
Anywhoo, I got my garters in the mail along with my dress monogram. And can I tell you just how much I love them!!! Ooodles…

Ok so we are now 11 days away from our wedding day! Woot! Woot! I would like to paint a picture of what the last few weeks have been in the Jelly Bean household.
Hold on to something, you are in for a bumpy ride.
My dad, very ambitious but lacks “bridal organizational skills” decided to dig up a perfectly good backyard, sideyard and front entryway 1.5…

One piece of advice for all the brides to be out there if you are going the DIY route like I did. If at all possible, work on the programs early. I repeat, early!
I thought I had everything planned out. But you know what, so many unexpected things arise that you have no control over. I didn’t anticipate that the church would take forever before…

As promised here is the product of all our collaborative hard work this week. Thanks to Mr. Jelly Beans staying up all night to put the finishing touches we are finally done.
I purchased placecards from Paper Source in Luxe Blush and printed what seemed like an endless amount of cards with my trusty inkjet printer. Then thanks to everyone’s friend, Martha, much to Mr Jelly…

Today my bridesmaids and I ventured into the wonderful world of Martha Stewart. We are planning on baking cookies for our out of town guests, and I will be placing them in pink gable boxes.
Our first attempt was a disaster. Our first clue should have been the 9 cups of flour that was required. Needless to say we will now be serving them at the wedding…

Since Mr. Jelly Bean’s arrival, it has been a whirlwind of wedding activities. One of the more important but daunting to-do’s on our list - taking our much anticipated engagement pictures.
It’s almost 99.9% guaranteed that I will either have a really cheesy, unnatural smile or a super dorky facial expression. On a good day I get really lucky and happen to look photogenic in photos.…

If I could go back in time I think I would have been steered in a different direction with our favors and their respective packaging. There are so many cute and creative options out there. And they are becoming more and more affordable too.
Why am I only seeing them now? *kicks self in behind* I think I need to start planning for renewing our vows…

After frequenting our local Winners on a weekly basis with no success, I finally found my vintage birdcage! It is so true that you always find things when you aren’t looking.I was walking in the mall with Mr. Jelly Beans (yes, he is finally here) to get my ring rhodium plated, when he points to this gift shop and says “Hon, look it’s a bird…

Since my “failed” mock table appointment, I received an email response from the Catering and Sales Manager. She was quite apologetic and seemed genuinely sincere. Here is the kicker:
“We will provide you with a new Special Event Planner (insert name here). She has many years experience and is very professional and personable. I’m sure you will get on very well with her.”

I love, love, love my hairdresser Dominique! She is super nice, very bubbly and got what I wanted in one shot. I am in dire need of a haircut so the back should be smaller than it is now. She said I had way too much hair - she had trouble finding places for every strand *tee hee hee*.
