Engagement Pictures Preview!!!!

I am in LOVE with our Engagement Pictures.  

I have uploaded the pictures to our wedding blog.

Can't wait to see what our awesome photographer does with our wedding.

All photos were taken by Jessica Meinardus of Jessica Meinardus Photography.  She is located in Van Buren, Ar and is incredible.  Check our her website and blog here.

Photography

I just love when a photographer takes "ring shots."  The one below I attempted to take in my backyard.  I think that it turned out pretty good...not to match a professionals version though. :)

Any wedding shots that you absolutely love and suggest?

Engagement Pictures

We are having engagement pictures taken on the 16th of this month!  I can't wait to meet our photographer and see what she is going to do.  She has already mentioned a nice waterfall picture setting.  

Now on to what to wear....I am thinking about one of these...

Just have to figure out solid or pattern?  Color?  What to get Will to match in??

Anyone have any favorite engagement poses?

Wedding Bootcamp

Today is the day!

Wedding Bootcamp!  Day 1!

Time to eat healthy, drink water, and EXERCISE.

Must get rid of jiggling thighs, flabby arms, and spare tire by October!

Just keep remembering....No Pain, No Gain.

Ugh..Help!

Wedding Plans

Wedding plans are coming right along smoothly.  In the past week we booked our location, set our date, booked our reception, got our invitation copy ready and got the majority of vases for the candy bar.

We are getting married October 24!  We chose a Botanical Gardens location.

Last week I got to have a great visit with my parents and grandparents.  Us ladies did a little shopping at T.J. Maxx and had a blast.  Love you all!

Checklist for this week:

Meet with florist options

Start looking at dresses

Look up location approved caterers

Finish wedding party (Will!)

Check with Rental companies

Might as well do all that I can while I have the time...

Have a great day!

Flowers...Help!

Anyone know what this is????

**UPDATE**  Just met with the Florist.  She says it is a piece of sod with trimmed grass wrapped around a floral wreath with "s" rings.  I am hearing a DIY bell in my head!

Wedding Blog!!!!

I didn't want to turn my craft blog into a wedding blog so I have started a new blog, Journey from Miss to Mrs. I plan on documenting our planning experience and thought this would be a great venue to get additional ideas and advice. This wedding has lots of DIY and crafting going on! All you followers and my good blog friends go on over check it out, leave advice, and follow that one too!

He ASKED..I said YES!!!!!

We are ENGAGED!!!!

Friday night, I was surprised with a perfect proposal from a perfect man with a perfect ring!

I am so thankful and excited that I met Will.  He is truly the ONE for me and my complete match. Our whole relationship has been amazing.  We are so excited to be on our way to Husband and Wife! We spent this weekend relaxing and enjoying telling our family and friends the news....and a lot of Smiling!  I think I still have a grin stuck on my face :)
