I'd never really call myself a "careless with money" type of person, but looking at some of these wedding blogs certainly could entice me to be. Once Wed posted these lovely porcelain milk bottles by Alyssa Ettinger. Here Etsy shop is here. How cute would one or two of these look on my homemade cookie favor table! Aarrgghh! It's almost too tempting!

I have been working really hard this week, and trying to compile lists off all the little things I have left to do. Hence the reason I haven't been back to blog lately. And the verdict is...I have no idea anymore. I think I fried my brain somewhere along the line because I've got all the major vendors booked, and I've done a ton of stuff, and for some reason I've lost all the wind from my sails and run aground. I can't think of what I need to do next. Sure, I can think of things to do, but they either don't need to be done for a while or I can't do them till a certain date (ie: my caterer doesn't want to do a tasting till a few months before, and I'm still at least six months out) OR, I am trying to rely on Scott (the fiance) for a decision, or at least help with a decision. I think I need to just take a few days for myself, shut off the brain, and try to pick up where I left off.

I also have to brag a bit about my photographer. I got the best one in the world. The owner of Hazelton Photography based out of Geneva, Illinois happens to be a relative of mine and she agreed to take our photos. Now I may be partial, but I think her work speaks for itself.

I wanted to share my first must have item for the wedding. Shoes are WAY to important to me, I know, but I really couldn't live without these fabulous shoes by Touch Ups. They are call the Katherine and they remind me of a 1940's or 1950's dance shoe. One you might see Ginger Rodgers wearing as she is glided across the floor by a dashing Fred Astaire. *Sigh* A girl can dream can't she. I know I was born in the wrong era, but thank heaven for these shoes!

While I have been an avid blog "stalker" for some time now, it never really occurred to me to have my own. However, since I have not entered the full swing of my wedding planning, I thought it might be nice to share my ideas and try to keep track of everything. I'm super excited for having this blog and I can't wait to start posting.
