Venue Update

Quite frankly the most stressful part of this wedding planning thing has been drama with the venue. Previously on Hearts & Whimsy I thought all the drama was behind me. Well guess who showed up in my in-box the other day?

Death by Design

Holy indecisiveness Batman! Invitation designing has been kicking my butt for most of January!

February Gear Up

My first Etsy purchase – I need to buy rubber stamps for the invites (Trust me this is going to be awesome!)

Seriously, find a florist. Like, seriously

More cake designs -- I'm feeling something with words and clocks. Flourish-y Alice quotes

Guest List -- I was going to try and start collecting addresses for the invitations but I've lost interest in this item. The guest list is still morphing as I add and delete people. I'm going to table this till April. Cool?

Seriously, a florist. I need to get a florist

Try on some bridesmaid dresses. Well not me try them on. Oh, you know what I mean. This may be pushing it for February but I might as well have it on my radar.

Start ordering invitation supplies (paper, boxes (yep, boxes!))

Fitness?? Grrrr

Ummm....stop creating registries (more on this later)

Ask the flower girls

Revisit the budget – Sigh.

Flight discounts (thanks Ms. Cheetah) 

Research Transportation options -- anybody have any cool ideas?

That's all folks!

January Wrap-up

Ack! It's nine months to the wedding. Ummm...January was a bit snowy but I made some progress on my action items. Look!

Why So Sensitive?

 This blog isn’t supposed to be a place to vent but. . .today I’m making an exception. I hang out on this site called Wedding Bee (perhaps you’ve heard of it?) rather frequently. Pretty much every day, several times a day. It’s a very warm, welcoming environment. It’s a great place to find tips and exchange ideas. You can bounce ideas off fellow brides when everyone in your life gets tired of hearing you talk about the wedding. I love it there but today I got annoyed.

Previously...

on Hearts & Whimsy we were:

Blessed with words of wisdom from Pippa & The Gentleman.

Sacred, shocked & appalled by a florist quote.

Intrigued by some cake designs.

Relived that our new catering director was going to work with us & not against us. (Mad props to the sister smackdown. Oh snap!)

and...this is my 100th post.
