Sorry it's been a while

Sorry guys, it's been like 2 weeks since my last post. Shannon had some major dental work done and I've been taking care of her, haven't gotten back into the swing of daily wedding plans. While I really love the dress I showed you in one of my last posts, I gotta say I have been falling in love with some of the weddings on Offbeat Bride that have brides in very non-traditional dresses and I am totally considering spending about a forth the price on a pin-up style sundress, like one of these at Pin-up Girl Clothing

Making my own wedding invites?

After browsing through thousands upon thousand of wedding invites in catalogs and on Etsy I have come to the conclusion that I could make something I like much better for a lot less. It would be a lot easier if I still had photoshop on my computer, but alas all I have is paint (i know, i know, i DESPERATELY need to update my computer!) Anyway, this is just one idea so far.
It's not quite this bright, my scanner sucks, it's a deeper red color, more like this font color, but you get the idea.

I found THE DRESS!!!

So I totally found THE DRESS I want to wear for my wedding!! It's Tea Length, white, corseted back, and I am getting a red sash and red petticoats like in the bottom picture. I am absolutely in love with this dress! And if it wasn't for all the shipping charges since it is coming from the UK it would be cheap. It's still cheaper for the dress, 2 petticoats, and the sash then it is for just the dress that I kinda sorta liked from David's Bridal. I so can't wait for my order to come in!
