On the road again...

ha ha I am such a cheeseball!

Anyway, I'm just a ball of excitement (I'm some kind of ball!) today was so great. I have had so many blog posts in the works (you should see all the drafts) but I just cant seem to get any finished. I have sooo much going on. But first and foremost I want to update on the biggest news of my life so far and thats the wedding planning! Gosh I am just so excited.

We went cake tasting today. Talk about sugar and yumm overload. I was in HEAVEN! There were so many awesome flavors (and the display cakes and sample photos were beautiful!!!)  and I couldn't decide. We tried like everything: traditional yellow, traditional chocolate, this triple chocolate with this ganache, german chocolate, banana, red velvet, blue velvet (her own creation - so good!), strawberry, cherry cordial, lemon, white, coconut, a really desserty carrot cake, almond, buttercream, I dont know, I don't remember they were all so good. I am no where near closer to coming to a decision but thank God we have time! A fw months still! Although it's sneaking up on us.

With the Holidays approaching (and everyone KNOWS how psycho I go over holidays and planning and all of that) as soon as the hullabaloo (i'm such a cheeseball for these words today) is over, we have to jump full steam ahead into finishing touches for the wedding. Finalizing details, finishing invitations, stationary, dress, and attire, guests, venues all of that has to be secure. January and February I am not going to sleep a bit! I just know it. Plus I am starting classes too? am i crazy, you bet!

So today after we got back from the cake tasting, I sat down with hubby to be and discussed everything I htink we need to do. I downloaded some helpful wedding planning sheets online and then I cried and moaned over the fact that I don't know how to design my own stuff and want to take a class!! lol.

So after that we browsed color schemes and pinterest and I found our PERRRRRRRRRRFECT wedding colors and theme. We were both sold immediately, without even saying anything to the other, we found ourselves drawn to it all and we are sooo super excited (okay I'm excited and Dane is all like "okay babe cool") so our wedding colors are set in stone. I will NOT change my mind. It's so perfectly suits us! I can't wait. It's feminine and masculine at the same time. It's perfect!!

But here's some eye-candy, all photos courtesy of Google
Pinterest and then courtesy of wherever they weere found before Pinned! (I loooove Pinterest, omg)

Is this not to die for? I searched Coral & Navy in Google and these came up. THIS is my bouquet for SURE!!

PERFECT for Spring! And the best part is the bridesmaids dresses can be worn again

vavavoom

maybe for the bridal shower??

I am so ready to jump full swing into this. I just wish I knew how to design and what to use to make really pretty paper goods! I am on the hunt for a good designer. I dont want to use vistaprint again, we used it for our save the dates (which totally dont match our theme now at all! LOL) but I wasn't thrilled with it, and it didn't feel uniquely ours.

The look I want to go for is overstated elegance, with a casual flaire (does that make ANY sense?) So we are thinking now to balance the bold coral and navy that we will do a neutral color, not stark white. So either NUDE, or a taupey grey. I'll figure it out as we go along. AHHH I AM SO EXCITED!

In other news:

Speaking of designing, I need a really sharp Resume Design. I have reached out to a few people and am looking to see who can best help me for what I am after. If you do resumes or know someone who does, please contact me and I would love to see samples to know that I am paying for the right stuff!! :-) The content is already written, so I am more looking for eye-pleasing layout and design. I use WORD all day at work but all I can come up with is so basic and bland to me! I am about to figure out how to do this stuff becuase I want to be the master of all my plans. Can you imagine all the pretty charts and lists I could make if I learn design software?? 

Off to research! and PIN and PLAN!!
