Ready...Start.....Go

Hello my loyal stalkers :). It's been a while. I think I'm going to start dedicating at least 2 nights to making sure I blog, to update you loves on life progress. Like how my mother, sister, and myself went to my first bridal show. I know it was crazy, between my mother crying over some deja voo with candy in a jar, and then spitting cake in my eye, to my sister getting emotional, I think this wedding stuff is taking off quit well. 

I found the show online randomly one evening and signed us all up to go. After we went to Joann's and I chose all my colors for the wedding. Got me a nice handful of swatches. There's a lot. I don't want to go traditional with the 3 color choice.  By the end of the night we went to eat dinner and played card & board games. Here are some of the goodies we found. 

I wore this.

 I won a bottle of wine from Kerry's Papery. Whoohoo!!!

 Not all, just some. The colors!

Announcments & Invites

Since I'm a bride on a budget I might just design my wedding announcements and invites on my own, but if I don't I might just go with these design & print shops that I adore. I'm such a control freak when it comes to designing and I am always changing my mind. I just have to keep in my mind to keep the ideas simple, effortlessly romantic, and one of a kind.

Mama Sauce is a letterpress design & printing company based out Orland, FL. I've read their blog on and off for the past 3 years. I found out about them by coming across a little (not so little) blog called Rifle Design.

Rifle Design is a husband and wife shop where wife, Anna, hand draws the best designs ever. They are located in Winter Park, FL. This is great because if we decide to get married in Florida then it will be great to have all these local vendors.

Printable Press  is based out of New York. It's a husband and wife team. Love that! They have such beautiful work. The designs are simple and classy. This one might not be my top, but it's a contender.
