Crafty Mom finished the table runners for the reception in record time!

Thanks Mom!
There will be 10 of these on the round tables at the reception
I got the fabric at IKEA, and hope to get a few back from the wedding for apartment decorating!

Etsy is so great

cause I can get so many beautiful, unique, and custom made elements for this wedding at an amazingly good price!
take my headband for instance

I got it from this shop and the vendor really went out of her way to make it just how I wanted it
And the headband is amazing!

Dress, Colour, Shoes!

For the past 5 days I have been in Seattle visiting Kris, my parents came along, and we bought my wedding dress! I can't show the photo, but its awesome and not what i was expecting at all. It was a little more expensive than I wanted to pay, but pretty good considering everything else I tried on. The store was fantastic, if you are searching for a dress in the Seattle area please go to Amanda's Bridal Botiique, she has a great selection!

On the trip we also found some beautiful green sashes on sale that would go great with the colours I had already choosen. We bought 6 of them (just in case) and I plan on giving one to each bridesmaid (Kristie already has one) so that it is easier to find a dress. They can also be used for sashes, hair bands, boquet wraps or other decorations. I may even use one in my hair. When I get a camera I will post a photo of that

I still have to hunt for shoes, not easy when you have the feet of a 10year old boy. I want to wear flats and not be uncomfortable, after all the wedding will be outdoors so heels would only aerate the soil. Unfortunately, its fall and light green shoes are not in abundance. I will probably have to wait until the spring to find anything good, but these are nice...
