I Need Your Help!

So I am reaching out there into the world wide web for your help! We are doing Save The Date magnets and I am at a total loss as to which picture I want to use. My photographers are so amazing that I LOVE every picture but I was able to narrow it down to these few and I am asking you to vote on your favorite and that is what I am going to send out :o)

Cant wait to see what you pick!

Maybe this one??? I got some feedback. . .

A few favors

So 2 of my fellow knotties asked for some monograms so I of course I got right on it. . . here is what I came up with :o)

Church Door Decoration **Update**

Here are the church door decorations step by step. . .

Step 1: Take 6 pieces of paper as if you are doing a pomander

Step 2: Fold paper back and forth
Step 3: Fold paper in half
Step 4: Staple the middle of the tissue paper
It will look like this. . .
When you have all of your flowers finished you are ready to start putting them on your letter
Step 5: Start putting your flowers on with hot glue

put flowers on the top

Here is a diagram of where you put flowers. . .

Here is the finished E :o) I love it!

For my BM

So one of my BM's is getting married so of course I am going to help out. She loved all of the work I have done for my wedding so far so I have jumped right into planning for her now :o) I really should be a wedding planner! So here is her monogram. . .

And I have just designed the invitations. . .
and I did a little mock up for her to have an idea . . .

and if she wants more black we can change the design a bit and do black instead of white. . .

I hope she loves it!

In Loving Memory

I just got the call at 10:59 that my aunt who has been battling breast cancer for 7 years has lost her battle. I am at a loss right now. . .I live in CT and my family is back in NY so I cannot be with my family during this very difficult time. I am very thankful however for my FI whose arms was the comfort that I desperately needed. Also thank you to my fellow knotties, the support means more than you know! I must now remember that she will no longer have to suffer and I will see her again in heaven. She will be with us on our wedding day in spirit. You have only been gone an hour but it seems like an eternity, you will be forever missed.

God saw she was getting tired and a cure was not to be

so he put his arms around her and whispered come to me.

With tearful eyes we watched her and saw her pass away

although we loved her dearly we could not make her stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest,

God broke our hearts to prove to us. . . .He only takes the best.

Garters. . . updates

Well my garters are in. . . Etsy was great! I order it from GarterLady and they are even more beautiful in person than in the pictures! She even has a small blue detail inside, so that will be my back up if I forget something blue. Here are a few pics that I took when they came. . .

The lace and detail is amazing!Don't mind my HUGE leg. . . I have been hitting the gym :o)
I think the two garters go together perfectly even though they are different.
Close up
In addition to my garter coming I was finally able to get a hold of my dress lady and I have an appointment set up for October 11th to try on my dress again (don't worry I will post plenty of pics). Also my last BM just put in the order for the BM dresses! Yay this was a big source of stress because this dress was so important to me, its not easy finding 1 dress that 6 girls love! But they are due to come in by December 17th. On Monday the 29th I am meeting up with the AMAZING Carla Ten Eyck to start talks about a possible B-session and picking out our STD pics. Last but not least I just got the contract from Jane at Just for You for our flowers. . . things are finally starting to come together :o) ** NWR (not wedding related) Now I am going to get back to my lil Get Smart marathon. . . I am a Nick at Nite kid. . .LOVE IT!

Friday Night Knottie GTG

So Friday night a few of us knotties got together for a girls night. . .and it was a blast. Not being from Connecticut I really don't have too many friends but it felt so good to get out and spend some time with some awesome girls! We only took a few pics we were so busy talking and getting to know each other that I didn't really go for my camera. There were 5 of us all together. Alina, Karen, Jen, Emily and me. So our first shot was a ring shot :o)

We went for a bite to eat so on this side we have Alina, Jen, & Karen.

Emily and I sat on the other side.

Group shot before the movie. . .we saw The Women. . . Thumbs up on the movie!

Getting ready for the movie to start :o)

The movie got out a little late but Karen and I were still down for a drink :o) And since Karen wanted to do some shopping for engagement shoot clothing we got together today again. . . .good times! We stopped in Jessica McClintock and couldn't help but try on some veils.
and here I am. . .
Yes I know I am a dork but I created a CT Knottie monogram to stamp on our pics :o)

If your a CT Knottie and you would like this for your siggy just leave a comment with your email!
