Shoes

So, the shoes that I wanted for my wedding (red sequin hightops) proved impossible to find even with the internet to help me, so I decided to go dressy and the shoes i ended up deciding on came in the mail today:

They're even nicer than i thought they would be and even the box they came in was lovely. I love them!
In other news I went for a second opinion about getting contacts for the day of the wedding and even though my eyes are too bad to get an exact match it looks like i might have a decent pair for the day of. Hizaaa!!!

Ooh I also got my assorted 10 embellishment buttons to use on my bridesmaids fascinators. Now to wait for the feathers to give them the final touch. I feel like such a 'do it yourself' wannabe! Good times. Almost two months to go. Geez!

My first "how to" video

I decided to make fascinators for my bridesmaids to wear. I decided to make a video to document it for any other people who are craft challenged like me. I still need to find some sort of shiny embellishment (i'll look on etsy) but other than that i'm pleased with how they came out!

Here is the video, let me know what you think!

Next on my list is the birdcage veil!

Also, in non wedding related news....

I made spaghetti and meatball cupcakes for trevors last day!

Nothing says "I'll miss you! Don't forget me!" like sending your friend to their new home with diabetes. 

I got the instructions off of this website:

Invites finished

With 3 months left to the wedding (oy-vey) we have finally finished the invites for the most part and sent the majority of them out. We've gotten some great feedback already which makes me really happy :)

On the inside of the card we have a R.S.V.P postcard that i designed and corner punched. On the back next to the guests names we have two options for guests to choose from:

-will be at the wedding, possibly dancing the robot on oct 1st.

or

-is not able to attend in which case this postcard will self destruct in 10,9,8,7,6....

 I adhered  the postcard to the card with one little square sticky so that it's easy to remove. Then i hand wrote in white pen surrounding it "I am a R.S.V.P postcard. Fill me out and mail me back please".

The bottom of the card is just the information for where to come for the wedding with an additional "Fancy hats are encouraged". I LOVE hats. And it seems to be a good compromise for me and André since i wanted it to be a costume party for the guests and he wasn't into the idea lol.

We also included a ghetto photocopied map as our ceremony location is a little random. I used the sticker that i showed in a previous post on the address labels. All in all i'm really happy with the invites and André is as well :)

Other than that I bought some feathers to make my bridesmaids their fascinators and some for my veil as well although i don't know exactly what i want to do yet. Ooh i also got my birdcage veil supply from etsy today! It was really cheap and came super fast! now i just need to work some crafty magic. I hope that it turns out okay!
