I wasn't too jazzed at first with the just the invite on the background but with the wrap and the bow it really grew on me! This is definitely just a starting place but I think it's a pretty good start.
Suggestions are welcome. :)

I'm inspired!
Things are moving along now and with the purchase of my new all-in-one printer (WOO HOO) I decided to start tackling another project. DIY Invitiations! I created the invites themselves a while ago, and decided to print them out tonight and see what I could put together with the supplies I had around here. So here is my first stab at what I might like my invites to look like!

Checking Things Off the List!
Wow we've gotten quite a bit done over the past few weeks!! Major accomplishments include booking our reception site and buying my wedding dress!!
On Friday our contract (which included a Dr Pepper clause) was received by The Skylight Room at Crosstown Station and we have officially booked for June 21st, 2009. WOW! Here are some pics, we really LOVED this space the second we walked in. We really feel like it's "us" and reminds us a lot of our time at The Todd in Richmond.
The next thing I checked off the list was purchasing the patterns for my flower girls and for my bridesmaids!! My lovely step-mother has graciously agreed to make these dresses for the ladies and girls in my wedding. It will be such a big help! Here are the BM dresses:
They'll be a nice satin-y orange.
The final and most important accomplishment happened today! I ordered the most amazing piece of clothing that I will ever own and I'll only wear it for one day! My wedding dress!! Here's a link for anyone who wants to see it, I of course I can't post the pictures since Micheal might look at this. :)

IKEA - woo hoo!
So Micheal and I made a trip up to IKEA the other day because I wanted to look for vases and votives for potential centerpieces. I had identified a few online that I thought would work; several were too small, but I found ones that I LOVE!! They conveniently come in frosted red and orange and are super cool and unique and will go great in the Skylight Room (which we haven't officially booked yet...I know I know...getting on that this week.)
So here is a trial run - these aren't necessarily the flowers I would use, they are the flowers Micheal got me for my thesis defense, but some mixture of red/orange/pink/yellow gerberas and potentially other orange/red flowers (depending on what's cheap!)
Thinking about putting the silver swirl sticks in it and/or votives around the base of the vase. EEEEE - this is the stuff that is fun. :)
