What a relief! Check! Check! Check!

Ok well I have finalized all our vendors and sent deposits/contracts! What a relief. I feel like now I have everything in place, and can relax for a while. And stop writing large checks from my bank account. lol. My one thing i am really splurging on is my photographer. I booked Jennifer from Zenobia. She is amazing! Her work was just what i am looking for. She has a great personality and i know we will have some fun! Check out her web-site.

One Week!!

So the wedding is one week away from today!! Crazy how fast 2 years goes by - can't believe it is here!

Wasn't feeling stressed before - probably because I work so many hours every single day including weekends for my new job that I didn't really have time to think about wedding stuff. And now I have all the time in the world this week! Ah! But I'm confident everything will get done!

Can't wait to marry the love of my life :)

GOOD LUCK ALLYLYNN and some socks!!

First off, GOOD LUCK ALLYLYNN!!!! May your day be filled with beautiful love and happiness and have a BLAST on your HM to France!!! O la la!!! PLEASE post pictures as soon as you can as I'm DYING to see all your wonderfully gorgeous plans come together!!!

Second, thanks to KCT for posting the socks post yesterday because I think it brought me good luck as I found 9 pairs of brown stripped socks in Banana Republic Men last night!!! Woohoo!!! And to make the find even more sweet is the fact that I got them for $2.09 each!!! That's right ladies you read that number right, $2.09!!! They were on sale and if you have a banana card you get an additional 30% off (that promotion is going on all w/e just as an FYI)

Thanks girls!!! I felt the good luck sock vibes last night that's for sure!!!

Can You Keep Up?

Ok, So I'm new to wedding blogs! From being engaged for the past year, I have become accustom to some of the acronyms and abbreviations for wedding terminology, but there are soo many! Although, its funny know because sometimes when I'm trying emails to talking to people I use the acronyms without even realizing it and to people that aren't engaged or been through this process, I get some pretty funny looks. I started a document on my computer to try to keep up but I find I see new ones everyday!! Here is my list? Any surprises? Any missing to add to my list? Do you use most of them? I find I only use a select few. Some of these I don't even know what they mean!

Colored Groomsmen Socks!

I was just watching Say Yes to the Dress (awesome!) and Randy the fashion consultant was saying that he always matches his socks to other colors that he’s wearing. It got me thinking....what do you ladies think of groomsmen wearing colored socks?! I don't know if I can convince Mr. KCT, but the pictures I found are so cute! I'm officially in love with the idea now.

So Many Cake Choices!

Sooo we have begun the search for a bakery for our wedding cake. We want something simple, with a little details. Both my bridesmaid dresses and my dress have buttons all the way down the back of our dresses and we will be wearing pearls. So we don't want glitz and glam. My BM are in Navy so we are thinking a navy ribbon would wrap around the base of each layer. We might have some flowers, but they would most likely be white with a touch of navy. Here is the inspiration board I created based on style's that we like not on colors. Let me know what you think? Suggestions? We have been to two bakeries so far, but we plan to check out tons more!

Let the weather stalking begin!!!

So KCT just posted about registry stalking (which has begun to pick up for me since the big day is almost here but shhhhh don’t tell Mr. ESE!) and now that the 10 DAY COUNT DOWN HAS BEGUN (whoa!) at the ESE household so too does the 10 day weather forecast stalking!!! (it only goes to Friday but that’s our RD so it’s not looking bad so far! Let’s hope it stays that way!

I’m feeling pretty good with what has to get done (also helps that I took all next week off from work!)…here’s a list of things left on my To Do List:

 Final Dress Fitting
 Pick up my dress and bridesmaid dresses
 Drop a bunch of stuff off at the florist
 Make paper cones for the ceremony (these will line the church aisles and will have a single hot pink hydrangea in each cone)
 Bronzing treatments at Bella Sante
 Waxing appointment
 Hair appointment
 Meet with our wedding helper (friend of the family) to go over logistics
 Assemble OOT bags
 Get cards for gifts
 Wrap bridesmaid, ring bearer, flower girl, groomsmen, readers and parents gifts
 Meet with Colonnade to give final payment, go over final logistics and drop off a TON of boxes
 Follow up with DJ to make sure he has everything
 Make cocktail hour play list
 Finish making the flower girl parasol
 Make THANK YOU parasol
 Cut out the menus
 Check the escort cards and programs are correct
 Pack for the honeymoon!! (sooo still has not hit me yet that we’ll be going away to sunny Mexico in 11 days!!)
 ORGANIZE everything!
 Buy coffee beans for cocktail centerpieces
 Finish lollipop topiary (I keep running out of Dum Dums! I swear I have about 200 on there and I still have about a ¼ left to fill!)
 Finish flower girl necklace
 Back the posters of our childhood pictures with foam board
 Find someone who has a projector for the slideshow for our rehearsal dinner

I hope that’s it! I can only imagine what the next 10 days will be like but I’m seriously soooo excited to be marrying Mr. ESE in a mere 10 days! It honestly seems surreal!
