1, 2, 3, 4.....and 15

Jeez, this weekend has flown by. I feel like I've accomplished nothing. I kind of did in the room aspect but not really in the wedding aspect. Up until 30 minutes ago.

I spent about an hour designing and tweaking our table numbers layout to D and mine's (I's?) liking. I printed while D set up the cool (and cheap!) Ikea Tolsby frames we bought. Actually my bro bought them for me....he works by Ikea. Thanks bro! Anyways...They only cost 99 cents PER. FRAME. $20 dollars later, we're in business. I designed the each table number using a combination of InDesign and Illustrator. Here's table 1 which happens to be our table....(the color is more blue than gray-ish)...

And here's table 2 which is the same look for tables 2 through 15.

FYI - I haven't mentioned my guest books because it's a surprise. In true Y-fashion, I can't do anything traditional and that includes just having one guest book. Not for this bride!

After printing, I headed home with my newly assembled frames and my mom and I slid each table number into the frame. (Pardon the crappy pics...I used my phone)

The whole project took a little over an hour - design and everything. Which wasn't that bad....I can now cross one project off my list....which is definitely progress!

2-for-1 special

Two posts in one day? Yup. This topic deserved its own post.

About a month ago when D and I shot our engagement pics with our fantastic photographers - Ashley and Phillip from 13:13 Boutique Wedding Photography - they asked me to model for one of their concept shoots. I was very flattered because let's face it, who thinks one could model? Definitely not me.

Thankfully, watching 10 seasons of America's Next Top Model AND seeing Ashely's many inspiration shots, I somehow pulled it off last week. The shoot was incredible. Ashley shot while Sarah from Sarah Elizabeth Designs styled the shoot and Phillip and D played awesome helpers.

The following are my favs from 13:13's blog!

Love the bird!

Can we say va-va-voom?
And oh yes, I totally pulled off "bedroom eyes."

So I won't lie, I kind of wanted to post every single pic. But I didn't want to be full of myself....I LOVED these pics!

Bad blogger!

....I've already used the wedding excuse one too many times. Let's try, I had a bad stomach bug for a solid week which set me back way too long. So that's my new excuse for not blogging in forever. :)

Wedding-wise, we're down to less than 30 days! I'm not in full panic mode yet - I'm trying my best to avoid that. I've started making a list of things to get done and I'm slowly accomplishing those. Today I woke up @ 8-ish and started organizing/cleaning/sorting my room. I'm moving in with D and we don't have a whole lot of space so needless to say, I had to get rid of some stuff. I'm either donating or selling things....got two enormous bags in my trunk already. Good news is I completely emptied out one of my two closets of "crap." Bad news, I filled it right back up with wedding gifts. At least now my mom can reclaim the exercise room. It was overfilling.

Moving on. Last night my best friend and her boyfriend, who also happens to be D's best friend, were suppose to go on a double date to Barton G's. I was so excited for it. But that didn't happen. Instead, when we got to her house and walked in, our friends surprised the (excuse the french) shit out of us. Literally, I was so scared, I started walking back out the door. My reaction was hilarious to everyone else.

Our best friends threw us a Las Vegas-themed bachelor/bachelorette party and it was amazing. We are so incredibly lucky to have such great friends. The party was very our style - it was perfect. And we had a GREAT time.
