Closer and closer...

 So Pat and I are getting married in thirty-nine days! That is so crazy and we are getting more and more excited as the days go by! We have been hitting the crafting world pretty hard. Pat has been such a huge help and I am so happy that he is back down in town. We have been making our table numbers,  hanging decorations, wrapped bottles, etc. Pat and his family have wrapped so many wine bottles--they literally have a small factory going on in their home! Our table numbers are small chalkboards that we found at a craft store. We just covered the wood edges in moss and will draw in the numbers in a fun way for the day of. We originally wanted to get wood numbers and cover them in moss, but we couldn't find simple, affordable numbers anywhere. We found some--but they were elaborately carved and ridiculous in price. So after walking around the store, Pat came up with the chalkboard idea--and we have already made a bunch of them. The paper rosettes are decor that we plan on hanging above the dance floor. They are super easy to make and add so much color!

This is only half of the bottles that Pat and his family wrapped in a two day period of time. They will be incorporated into the centerpieces.

These are the paper fans that will be hanging along with one of the table numbers. The rosettes are super easy to make and we have started making some in patterned paper as well. The tutorial for them can be found on the Paper Source website.

More in wedding world...we scheduled and booked our rehearsal and dinner--We found and ordered our wedding bands--We had our first marriage counseling appointment and discussed the ceremony with Brad (our officiant)! We also started looking at apartments to move into after the wedding. We are focusing more on the downtown Fullerton/Chapman area. We are looking for a place that is close to stores, coffee houses, etc., that we can walk to. Overall, we are still on the move and are crafting/organizing up a storm. I am so thankful for all of the outside help and support from our families and friends.
