Default CourtneyV's Planning Pics

Alright, I'm a little early to post. I use Aaron's school laptop and he has to turn it in on Friday, so I get to spend tomorrow night backing up and reformatting the computer!!

We leave a week this Friday and things are really coming together. There are still a few little things to do, but for the most part everything is done... and I'm stress FREE!! Woot!!

Alrighty so....

Our invitations

Our guestbook. We stumbled upon this months after we sent the invitations and couldn't believe it was the same mulberry paper we used (found in a completely different store). It was just meant to be!

Our rings:

Our OOT bags (1 per room):

My mom made these great welcome booklets. I'll post the template later (probably when I get back), but I was SO blown away by them, they're amazing! This copy was a mock-up we just finished today; the guest's copies will be in colour.

Our little ring bearer is only 18 months old; he's the only child attending the wedding, so we got him his own little OOT bag. There are a few little goodies missing, but this is most of it:

I still haven't decided on my hairstyle (although I have narrowed it down to two; thanks to everyone who voted in my poll!!). These are the two I'm still deciding between.

My BD book. The photos were taken by the wonderful Leigh Miller.

And last but not least, my dress!! This is from my first fitting, I think it fits way better now that all of the alterations have been done (although, isn't that the point?!!). Obviously, it's not steamed or anything here.

Yay! Everything looks great. Your invites are beautiful... and all your little ring bearer stuff is too cute. I love the detailing of your dress... where is it from?

Congrats and have fun!

I just saw your ticker. I can't believe you only have 8 days. Is Leigh photographing your wedding? I can't wait to see pictures. Your BD pics & engagement pics were so awesome.

My dress is a Maggie Sottero. Sottero & Midgley - Dress Detail - JSM1042


I actually tried it on in pink (as shown in the website pic) and loved it... and I'm soooooo not a pink person!
