Because I am not interested in putting everything off until the last minute, I have decided to set a new target date for myself. I have decided that I am going to get 90% of the wedding done by my birthday which is on December 9th. This way I can enjoy my birthday, the holidays, and not worry about planning again until January!

I understand the massive goal in front of me, there is A LOT! Since I decided this I have gotten my butt into gear and I have actually gotten things done. One of which was creating the absolutely complete and totally organized list of to-dos….which goes on for quite a while. Each part of the wedding is broken down in a separate section of the list making it easy for my to think with the overall look of the venue and the wedding.

I have 3 weeks and a few days left until my birthday, but I have 4 weekends. But seeing as I work for myself, weekends don’t mean nearly as much as they used to.

So, here are the things I am going to get done by nightfall on Sunday. I figure it isn’t a bad idea to post these things on here because I actually have to stick to them!

1. Order Cotton
2. Put Lace, Hangers, Chicken wire and twine on the armoire.
3. Get wood for table legs and chicken wire from Home Depot.
4. Get cupcake stands and make the table number displays.
5. Make the ceremony sign
6. Wrap books in kraft paper, lace, and twine to see what it looks like. Mock up the centerpiece
7. Make a batch of two-tiered mini cakes to see if I can do it!
8. Go to Priscilla of Boston and do the final fitting!!!
9. Order fashion accessories
10. Research birdcages and find out where to buy and if they are expensive!
11. Figure out the save the dates and actually send something.

Ok that may be all for now. It is not really that much but it is a lot of going here and there. PS: Who thinks a bouquet of lavender and cotton would look good for the bridesmaids? I can’t really picture it but I can see it being amazing.

What things are on your wedding to-do list this weekend??? I hope you all are getting a lot done :)

As far as this past week, we had a lot going on. Plenty of giveaways, updates, and inspiration.

Discount Time! This time it is on something that you’ll love, videography packages. I know this is often the first thing to get crossed off the budget, believe me, I have been there, but having the memories of the looks you two gave each other, the speeches and the guests tears can not be displayed in photos. The good news this time is that Silber Studios is offering $500 off any package booked before the end of the year! Check out the details and the packages.

This was a super fun week for me filled with lots of eye candy and lots of wedding decision made on my part! Who could ask for anything better??? I went dress shopping last weekend and am going twice this weekend. I hope to choose THE dress within this coming week. I am also planning to make my jam wedding favors today, which should be interesting!

As far as this blog goes, we had a really fun week of lots of eye candy! First off are some of the greatest shoe photos I have seen in a long time. This one got my mind going on an incredible style shoot I am now going to do shortly.

Here is a spring inspiration board for those of us that aren’t ready for fall to come upon us!

I’ve decided to do jam as my wedding favors ( which I am making today ) and here is a bit of the inspiration that I am working off of with the jam decor.

Here is a great real wedding by Junshien Photography. So many fantastic color combos to love in this wedding.

Also, I finally got the chance to blog about Lizzie’s wedding from back in May. It was a gorgeous winery affair. ( See if you can spot me in the photos!)

Last but definitely not least, we finally announced The Inspired List to the public. This brainchild of my fiance and I is finally turning into a real thing and the site is going to be done very soon. I can’t believe that this little idea is finally something I can tell you all about! Sign up for an e-mail update when it launches. Also, we have a giveaway going on right now-fill out a survey to give us your input on how we make The Inspired List and one bride and one vendor will win some contemporary wine glasses!
