Guest book: Progress

The guest books are covered (no, I didn't do that in one day...) but they turned out pretty darn cute. Here they are all stacked together, looking really book-ish...

These are the fronts:

And the backs...




All together now!!!




Next step: titles...

Guest Book: pink and gold forever!

My next little project is a spin on the guest book. The idea is to make a couple pretty books and label them with questions like "Where do you see us in 10 years?" and "What should we do for our 1st anniversary?" Then, instead of signing a guest book, people can answer a question and sign their name. Here's the supplies I've picked out so far:

Pink and Gold forever!

Favors from the Willamette Valley

Because I don't have much control over wedding things a continent away, I'm going crazy with the things I can control - I am becoming the DIY bride... Martha would be so proud...

These are going to be our favors: grape wine charms! It's our "made in Oregon" touch for the wedding. Which is your favorite color/color combination? Murilo thinks the pink ones look like grapes with worms... >:( thus it's in the back, but he is very supportive of the other colors...

Aren't they cute?!

A funny bridesmaid story...

Trying to be the easy-going bride, I first proposed all ladies pick their own pink, knee-length and above, non-cotton dress for the wedding. Only one bridesmaid liked this idea. As discussions progressed I moved to a more traditional "I'll pick the color, you pick the dress" idea. All picked the same dress. So we have come full circle, and all bridesmaids will wear the same dress in the same color... and here it is!!! (official color: guava)
