Update! Wedding Pants, Food, Photography, and More!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted because we’ve been busy, busy, busy! Joe got both pairs of his “wedding pants” last weekend and he’s lookin’ snazzy. He also got a bunch of nicer shirts for work and a few pairs of jeans. He basically has a whole new summer wardrobe for work. Lucky duck.

On the Arizona food front, the Greek place we were gonna have cater the festivities shut down their Arizona location and we are now looking for other options. It’s a slight speed bump, but we still promise delicious food!!!!

I’ve also ordered/bought all kinds of decorations for the Chicago festivities and for my DIY bouquet. Now I just need to figure out how I’m gonna make it all work together!

I also just made the last payment to our Arizona photographers- Simply Knot Photography. That is a HUGE weight off my shoulders. But I still have the Chicago photographers to pay now…. Whoever doesn’t admit that the money part of weddings is most of the stress involved is just kidding themselves…..lol

Next on the agenda is designing the invites. We are sending the official invitations out through email only to cut costs and save the environment (two of my favorite things to do). So keep your eyes peeled and if you haven’t already added our wedding email addresses to your address book, please do. We are also planning on sending the email invites a few times and from our different email addresses to minimize lost invites. We’ll see how it goes. Keep your fingers crossed that technology doesn’t fail us……

Hobby Lobby & Morton Arboretum Fun!!!

I’ve been on vacation this week and have actually had time to get some wedding stuff done. Hooray! I’ve added some info and pics under the “Wedding Party” page. Take a looksy, but there’s still more to come!!! I had a chance to make it out to one of my favorite creative places….. Hobby Lobby. They have TONS of deals on all kinds of crafty stuff ALL THE TIME! And surprise surprise, they were having a SALE! Everything I purchased was 50% off. Yes everything!!! Joe & I also took a trip to the Morton Arboretum this past Saturday. That also provided more inspiration for the Chicago Wedding!!!!
