take on me.

so i have just stopped trying to write blogs at home because it is too annoying, and i also can't comment on them from home... and i don't always have time when i am at work... so i guess it will just be sparse. whatever.

today is exactly one year to the wedding. my mom has been saying things about how it is our one year prequel anniversary. i want to start creating a photo album with random things in it for the year leading up to the wedding. there will be soooo much work done this year for the wedding. i should take some pictures of the yard and to compare to what it will look like AT the wedding. i am HOPING it will be drastically different, haha. it does scare me a little... i worry that we won't get enough done. fingers crossed.

another thing i am worried about is the dresses!!!! i want to get working on that right away. there are so many things to do, and it seems so early to be planning all of this... but... its too much to wait to plan everything. i want it all planned and on track so that later on down the line everything will just fall into place. easily. no stress. hahaha. i realize this may be a bit naive of me to think that it could actually happen that way, but i am REALLY hoping.

curious about the patterns i chose for the bridesmaids? i'll show you!!!

jasmine - although i am unsure about the neckline on this one? i was thinking either a deep v or a scoop might be better? i don't know. thoughts?
megan - this one is a SURE thing. it was the first one i picked. and so perfect for megan. SO perfect. and she loves it... win win!
suzanne - i actually have this pattern (it is one of the ones i bought in too small of a size and was trying to convert it... yah... that project is long abandoned. but i would REALLY like to get back to it... really....). i THINK it will look really good on suzanne.
gillian - this one i am not positive about. gill doesn't normally wear form fitting clothing, and CERTAINLY not dresses... so i don't really know what kind of thing she will look good in, or what is the right shape for her... but... we'll see i guess? i love this dress. i love the buttons down the front. i think it is beautiful.

now to pick fabric. i found this. i REALLY love the picture in the top right hand corner of the collage thing - the flower arrangement. i want to use those greens for my bridesmaids dresses. and then the bright blue for the flower girls. and then accent things with purple - the groomsmen will probably have purple bowties, little peacock feather corsage things, and maybe we'll line the vests with a purple satin-y fabric? i have yet to decide on my SHOES, but this is a very important question. haha. what kind of shoes do i want to have? they're going to show... so... really it could be something FUN! i saw a picture of these awesome blue sparkly ones, like the colour of that bright blue. that might be cool. i haven't been able to decide what i want the groomsmen to wear exactly. we know that we don't want jackets at all, just vests. and bowties. i was thinking it would be cool to have grey pants and black vests - but i pretty much got told by everyone that it was a bad idea - 'WHAT, not the same colour? thats too much...' i still like the idea. but it IS hard to invision when i haven't seen it. thoughts?

pretty much working, derby, gym, and wedding have swallowed my life whole. there is nothing beyond those 4 things.
