It's been a while!!!

Well, we are currently 64 days from our wedding day! Lots of things are being put in a row at this point! Sorry for the lack of updates, but it's been a crazy time recently! So, here's where we are at!

We had engagement photographs taken: http://www.martiniphotography.com/weddings2011/JenniferLauranEngagement.html

Invitations went out a couple of weeks ago. Lauran had the very great help of MooseL and Aude, and the art of the lovely Jennifer Kennedy to help make out invitation just beautiful. Here are some photos of the invitation:
This is the front.
 This is the inside
 This is the back complete with the very pretty red envelopes we got at Paper Source here in Portland.

Every single one was individually hand stamped and sealed. We had a fun little party and with the help of Jason and Deana and Wendy and Chris it was all done very quickly! We also used Garden of Love stamps.

I ordered red love mugs from Mug Revolution of Bend, OR for my bridesmaids. Once I get the actual mugs I will get some photos of them and the super cute gift bags that we found for them. But, here's at least an image to give an idea:

We went yesterday and got all of the men's wedding stuff sorted out with Men's Wearhouse. All of the groomsmen should have the information, but if you need it again just let us know! I have only seen 2 of my bridesmaids dresses, so I am anxiously looking forward to seeing my last two, both Michelles by the way. :)

We took advantage of the back-to-school sales and got colored pencils and pens for our guest book pages. I am very excited to see all of the things our friends and family write down for us!

My mother will be doing all of the bouquets, and we've decided to go with artificial flowers rather than real flowers just for ease of handling and we don't really have a dozen refrigerators to hold flowers in to keep them fresh. Here's some images of the flowers I had managed to find! I have more than this, but they're not on my computer yet.








Today I went in for dress fitting (yay! no alterations needed!) and for having my dress bustled! I will get to pick it up on September 16th and it will have all of the bustling things put in. Here are some photos from my fitting!



These are my wedding shoes!

Deana, Lauran and I also were shopping at FancyFlours.com and got some really good cake decor and cupcake things!
These will go on the sides of our wedding cake.
 These will also go on our wedding cake

These are the cupcake liners were using for the cupcakes!
Well, that's about it for now! Stay tuned as we get closer!!!
