Journey to Wedding

My first wedding post and I'm 52 days away from saying "I Do". Dang I'm doing a great job at this blogging thing! Lets just say this is going by wayyyyy faster than I thought it was going to. I used to have over 200 days to plan and now I am basically 50 days away. This is getting scary! I want to be able to come back to this blog and read how I was feeling what I was doing during this important time in my life. So here is a blog post about what's been going on.
Hmm where do I start? I said yes to the dress on July 7th, 2015 so I've had the thing basically as long as I have been engaged. Love my dress and it literally fit me perfectly on the day that I tried it on. I have had my love/hate relationship with the dress ever since. I've tried it on 3 times total and each time is different. We got our engagement pictures taken and I seriously can't pick just one as my favorite and I want to post them all but I'm not. We got them taken in the fall time, which we did have to reschedule multiple times due to bad weather, but I am extremely happy with how they turned out.

I found out who I wanted to be in my wedding and I made bridesmaid boxes. Not how I wanted to ask them but it's all I could come up with. They turned out pretty cute and at the time I only had asked four bridesmaids, now I have 5 total. The groomsmen are all picked out also and next step from them is getting sized. I have already talked to the place where they are getting their outfits about what I expect them to be in and what colors. I decided on a sea-foam green/ light blue color with gold as the accent color.
The boxes pictured on the left are the boxes my original four bridesmaids got. The one pictured below is the one the fifth bridesmaid got a couple of months ago. That one was a bit shorter notice and I feel bad for that.

We have someone making our cake which I am beyond excited about. She's going to make a simple 2 tier cake with cupcakes to go along with it. I can't wait to see what she comes up with. I purchased a cake topper which I think will go super cute with the gold accent color and it will just totally be us. I got this cake topper from a shop on Etsy. Etsy is quite addicting when you are trying to plan a wedding. I also ordered my guest book and my garter from Etsy. My guest book was supposed to be a Polaroid guest book where guests got their picture taken right when they got there but that plan didn't quite happen. So I ordered a cute guest book that was personalized just for us.

The venue that I am holding it at is super pretty. I really wanted an indoor wedding but settled for a partially outdoor one instead. I needed to have a backup just in case the weather was crappy that day. I found this place in my hometown that has two big ball rooms and the huge windows open up. So I will be getting married under the archway which is sorta outdoors right?
I'm just hoping we can get a good setup for a nice dance floor but yet area for people to sit. I think it will be decorated pretty cute also. It's also nice because they provide tables and chairs and we get into the place 2 days before the wedding. Just hoping we can transform this into a nice place for a wedding to be held.

My garter is so totally me and doesn't have any color relation or anything to my wedding. It just fits me as a person and I really love that! I ordered it off of an Etsy shop and I love it! So excited to wear this for my wedding!! It comes with two garters, one to toss and one for me to keep. I love both of them so it sorta sucks that I have to get rid of one of them. Especially since the one getting tossed is my favorite color of green. I was so glad to have found a garter like this because I didn't know they could even come like this!

So thats about it for the first post about my wedding. Hopefully I can make another one before the wedding actually happens because I still have a lot of things to go over. I just don't want to make this post super long.
