Wedding Planning Update...

First of all, I promise my blog will not turn into an all wedding blog;)  For now, it is consuming my life so here's the latest...

Our date, venue, photographer, favors, and my hair/makeup girl have been BOOKED and decided on!  I love crossing things off my list, and I ALWAYS have a list...or 8.

I'm glad I took all of my friend's advice about looking into venues right away since they tend to book up quickly.  We wanted to have our wedding in September or October of 2014 so I started calling some of the places we were interested in.  To my surprise, a majority of their Saturday's were booked up!  Crazy

I'm most relieved to have our venue picked and the deposit made.  That was a big decision for us, we wanted to make 100% sure we wouldn't have any regrets after the decision had been made. I know we would have been happy with the other contender (we had three we liked and were deciding between but ended up narrowing it down to two) but I feel we would have always thought about "our favorite".  The feeling of knowing where our wedding ceremony and reception will take place and picturing all of our friends and family filling the seats is so exciting.  Also, knowing the date and how much significance that date will hold for the rest of our lives is so crazy but awesome:)

The pictures do not do it justice, it's truly a large, beautiful venue and I wouldn't change a thing about it.



Choosing our photographer for the big day was also very exciting.  We asked our friend Jess, she is also the one that took pictures at the engagement party.  I love that we feel 100% comfortable with her and that we know that she won't let us down and that she will capture the best moments.  It's just a relief to know that piece of the puzzle is complete!

Another detail nailed down, hair and makeup for the big day!  I knew who I wanted to do my hair and makeup for the day immediately so I figured why not ask her now and get the date blocked off on her calendar? One more thing I can check off on my list :)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
