Her Wedding Band

We finally bought my wedding band. I had a hard time finding anything that matched my engagment ring. I decided to do a white gold prong set diamond eternity band from Rogers and Hollands, a local mall jeweler by our apartment.

My other idea was a custom band to fit right up against my engagement ring. We got an estimate of $1,500 which I even thought was ridiculous, so we said no to that.

Another other idea was to do a rose gold eternity band with either pink sapphires or diamonds. I decided against that too because I could always get that on my own. Even though I would love it, it isn't necessarily a wedding band.

All in all, I am happy with my choice and I can't wait till my future husband slips it on my finger as we become man and wife! =)

More flowers for Brides Bouquet

I went to Hobby Lobby with my friend and found some more flowers to add to my bouquet. I felt like something was missing from the original arrangement. I added a few white and peach roses and a few hot pink calla lillys. I think it looks much better!

I want to go back to get more flowers for the bridesmaids bouquets. I might add some white and peach roses to theirs too.

Groomsman Attire

The 6 groomsman will be wearing the same gray JCrew suit pants as the groom. Also, they will be wearing a white button down dress shirt. They will not be wearing the vest or jacket. We also bought all the guys brown flip flops from Old Navy to match the groom's brown boat shoes.

To tie it all together, they will wear a brown belt and a pink Calla Lilly boutonniere. This is a silk Calla Lilly from Hobby Lobby. It will be a future DIY project to make this into a boutonniere.

Invitations

My mom's old co-worker owns his own print shop. We visited his store to get some ideas. Before that, I had browsed online web sites and contacted some local stationary stores. Everything I saw was just okay.

Bill, the print shop owner, suggested we use his graphic designer to create our own one-of-a-kind invitations. We agreed and he drafted something in the matter of a day and emailed me the proof. I loved it!! My mom was also ordering the shower invites through him and they worked out a draft too. A few weeks later my mom and I went back to the store to pick out paper.

The only thing I was not sure about was how to do my RSVP cards. We are sending out 160 wedding invitations and I am only expecting about 30 of those to RSVP yes. So, in order to save postage and paper, I decided to make a small RSVP card stating to please reply on our knot.com website instead of the traditional reply cards.

I put the deposit down today, and they should be here in a week! =) I'll post pics as soon as I get them!
