Mother of the Bride

We have accomplished yet another important task; finding a dress for my mom, the mother of the bride :) As I had written previously, she wanted to start early because she didn't think she would be able to find a good dress for the wedding. She decided that we should go to Macy's this weekend to see if she could at least find the style she might want. Well, we found the perfect dress for her! It is so beautiful and elegant on her. We couldn't believe we found her a dress on the first day of shopping for one, but we did! I am so excited and I can't wait for everyone to see her in the wedding...She is going to look beautiful! I posted a picture below of the dress she got (She looks even better than the model does in it!) We also had my cousin Sally try on a dress that would be something like what the bridesmaids will be wearing to see if we liked the style I want to go with, and it also looked good. We are going to hold off a while on getting their dresses though :) So, for the month of January we have now gotten two tasks checked off the list...Ahead of schedule!

A New Year...For Wedding Planning!

It's 2010 and with the new year here I feel so blessed. Last year was an amazing, eventful one for Matt and I and I'm very much looking forward to the year ahead of us. I'm sure it will be packed full of wedding planning, so I'm hoping to have many updates to share over the year. As for an update over the holidays, my mom and I went to Kirkland's today to get some autograph picture frames. Matt and I decided to have these signed by our guests instead of having a book so we can hang them in our house and see the signatures of everyone that was there to celebrate our wedding day. They are very beautiful and I'm so excited we got them (Thanks to my maid of honor, Maggie, for scoping these out!!)I also received a wedding planning book for Christmas that will help me organize all our plans and vendors. It includes a checklist for getting everything done on time and I'm looking forward to crossing some of those things off this year. My mom and I have set a mission to get one thing done a month....Stay tuned to see if we accomplish it!
