Recently Aletha from Pearls Events put me in contact with another one of her Homestead clients, Bree. Bree recently took a trip to the homestead, captured some NEW ceremony site pictures and was kind enough to share them with us. Thanks Aletha and Bree :)))

On another exciting note I recieved our first shower gift from my Aunt Mary. I took photos of it but have not uploaded them yet.

Brief recap-

Friday
Greg and I went to a wedding on the east side of the state. Unfortunately I totally forgot my camera, major bummer. This wedding was beautiful down to every last detail... We had a great time and thanks to Jen and Steve for letting us be part of your day.

One of the highlights was the photobooth... I've heard so much about them and it was about time i attended a wedding with one. see our pictures below...





Saturday we...
Went fishing. yeah, we fish together and made tacos.

Sunday
I traveled to Ann Arbor to my cousins bridal shower. I arrived an hour early (which is a shock because I'm never early) and was able to enjoy some of the downtown shops. I was a good girl and purchased nothing. Katy's shower was very very nice (again I forgot my camera), It was at a fantastic little restaurant called vinology with tasty food and a fabulous atmosphere. Its was great to see Katy, Aunt Mary and family... I can't wait to celebrate with them at this wedding, july 4th.

ORDERED MY VEIL!!!!
veil by Jennifer Leigh
It's a combination of a couple different veil designs.
the material and sparkle (non visable) from Cynthia...

and the shape and length of Eden...


MY DRESS FITS!!! (for the most part)
i will begin my fittings in mid-june... (Greg, this means adjusting little details about the dress so it fits me like a glove).
I cannot say enough great things about September's Bride in Holland, so accommodating and helpful. Tami and Rachael are fabulous.

LASTLY...
I ordered paper samples for the invites... I'm not sure I'm going to reveal until they are all sent... hm...

99 days.

Kristen, Megan and I spent some time together last week. Megan was kind enough to model the bridesmaids 'look'. They ordered green shoes to go with a blue dress, yes, on purpose...




I think the green shoes look great. The jewelry ties it together. Imagine th bouquet being made of greens, herbs, and with a little splash of white and blue. LOVE it!


Meg... don't hate me for posting this picture :)
