Tuxes, Dresses and Lost keys "Oh My!"

This week has been interesting. I feel like I have gotten nothing accomplished as far as wedding planning goes but somehow, in getting nothing done, I have managed to make Stephan exhausted.  We did at least look at wedding bands (for him) and found one he really likes. We wanted to look around at a few more stores before we made a final decision.  We have yet to get my bridesmaids or his groomsmen in to be fitted. My girls will be done by Saturday and Stephan will have his tux ordered by Saturday as well. I am so excited to see Stephan's tux 1. Because I've never seen him that dressed up and 2. Because I really love the tux he's picked out! Here is a sneak peak! 

This tux

With...

This vest and the bow tie, a white shirt

And...

These pretty awesome shoes

(unless they find some turquoise converse)

We're using {Mens Wearhouse} for the guys

Stephan's groomsmen will wear the grey pants from his tux with a grey vest, the blue tie that matches Stephan's vest and the same awesome shoes. I'm also looking forward to seeing my girls in the dresses I've  picked out!    

They will be the same color as Stephan's vest and bow tie and the groomsmen ties. Their shoes will be black pumps
We're using {Davids Bridal} for my girls and my dress as well (but that's a surprise)


On Tuesday we were planning to go taste some cake. Yum! However, that did not happen due to the loss of my car keys (or actually my dads keys). At first I thought I locked them in the car that was my best guess because recently I do this on a monthly basis. I called a locksmith yesterday morning to rescue me and when he opened up the car I realized the set of keys I was looking for was not there. I have searched the house up and down and have yet to come across the keys. I am living in a house with a three year old and a two year old and also another three year old and two year old that are here the majority of the day. Which means there are no telling where my keys are.... Maybe I should learn to keep better track of my keys before my baby gets here or else I could see myself getting into this situation way too often.

Alice Wedding Planning 101

So I have a lot going on in my life right now but at this moment wedding planning is taking up most of my time.  The date is only a short 79 days away, and although that seems like a long time, to me, I am quickly realizing how close it really is. I am absolutely in love with Alice in Wonderland (in all forms), so I decided to use Alice and the Mad Hatter as my inspiration for our wedding. I found these gorgeous pictures from a photo shoot done in honor of the new Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland and decided to use these as an outline for my decor. I am using the silver tea pots, I've found at thrift stores, as my center pieces filled with blue and white hydrangeas. We are going with cream linens for the table and are still looking for a few more cream lace overlays to go on top.

{Wedding Chicks}

I've had the most fun shopping with Stephan's sister every Wednesday for amazing thrift store finds! We have a rule that we only can buy when it's on sale and so far we've saved over $200! I never would have thought you could save at the thrift store. I thought I was already getting a good deal just by shopping there, but Holly is the "deal finding queen" and I'm glad she is here to keep me from spending more that necessary.

I feel like everything is finally coming together and it's bringing me a little more peace.

On our to do list for this week:

*Get Stephan fitted for his Tux-- and get his groomsmen in as well

*Finalize our location (which I'm crossing my fingers will be done by tomorrow)

*Get my bridesmaids in for a fitting--and their dresses ordered

*Finalize the invitations-- and get them in to be printed

*One final cake tasting (That's today! yum)

AND

*Buy wedding bands!
