The Wed-Site

I'm on top of this wedding-planning shit, as long as I can do it from my couch on my laptop.  So one thing that's been accomplished is setting up a weddding website.  There are several templates availible online, but we went with mywedding.com since it had a design we liked. 

Take a look: Paul and Ellen's Wedding

While I get that there are still some people who won't be visiting the site (hi Grandma!), I'm hoping this will be useful to at least a few guests.  Especially the out-of-town, staying-all-weekend guests. 

Please give me some feedback! 

Bridesmaids Dresses

THE BRIDESMAIDS DRESS

Emily is on the left, Lindsay on the right.  These dresses are cotton/sateen, so they're not shiny like a typical dress. 

Lindsay liked the green one better, and since the colors are green and blue, I was like, sure, go for it.  Emily is showing her opinion of the green color. 

I wanted the dresses to be something that they might wear again.  These are casual enough to wear as a cute summer dress but still fancy enough for a wedding. 

Oh, and they have pockets!



Table Runner Fabrics

So Pilgrim Center will rent white table linens for us, and include them in the overall bill. I like this plan because it means I don't have to do anything.  However, a room full of white table linens might look a little boring.  So I need table runners...like this:

only in blues and greens.  I like the idea of them not matching; every table will have a different style of fabric for a table runner.  I can't take credit for this idea, but I also can't remember who came up with it first (one of my crafty aunts, most likely!).  So after dress shopping, we stopped by the fabric store and took pictures of different fabrics.  These are my favorite:

I like paisleys, polka dots, and embroidery.  I also like the idea that after the wedding, I (or someone more talented) could make a quilt out of all the different fabrics as a wedding souvenir.
