Engagement Pictures

Here are a few other pictures that were taken by the lovely Shayna Sherbondy. The lakefront is in Milwaukee and the rest of the shots were taken in one of my most favorite places, Third Ward! I was so excited to get my full disc of pictures that I couldn't help but to show them off. Enjoy!

These are just some of my personal favorites! If you would like to find out more about Shayna Sherbondy Photography or to book a session please visit:

Cards, Candles and Crinkled Sentiments

This week has been productive to say the least. Nothing is better than that feeling you get after checking things off your wedding "To Do's before the I Do's" list.

Flowers of all sorts were first on the agenda, starting with the most sentimental bunch. I decided to take all of the roses that Joel has ever given me and sadly peel away every petal. I will use those petals for my flower girls to throw at the wedding. I will be walking over our past and towards my future husband.

I also met with my lovely florist this week and decided on bouquets for the girls and I. 

I finally put together my unity candle set-up. I was fortunate to find the candle holders form Goodwill and the candles are from Hobby Lobby. The fabric is left over from my place mats. 

I still feel like it's missing something... I'm open to suggestions. I have a hard time committing to one look. 

The back drop is a prototype but I plan to do something similar on a much larger scale.

Card Box is finished! Thanks to my vintage suitcase finds and some crafty paper and letters, I am more than pleased with the outcome of this project

Hope you enjoyed the updates. I will try and keep you posted on a more regular bases from now on. Between work, Sunday school lessons, Kids Club, and Reading I haven't devoted much time to blog posts. My goal is to make Saturday-Wedding update Day! So for future reference please visit the blog on a weekly basis, or however often you would like, and log in Saturdays for new progress and completed projects. Have a great weekend and a blessed Sunday! 

DIY Glitter Bottles

Remember these guys?

I finally decided to put my coffee syrup bottles to good use. I stripped the labels, washed them clean and began my glittery project. All you need is some sort of bottles or glass, mod podge, tape, and a brush. It was very simple and turned out quite nicely if I do say so myself!
