Bridal Talk Tuesday: Save the Dates are out!

Linking up with Elizabeth from 

Life with Elizabeth today for Bridal Talk Tuesday..

Yes, one day late. Don't judge! Beverly from Preppy Wife

Preppy Life's wedding planning is now in full swing

with only 10 days left and we are busy bees!

I started working with the ever so fabulous Nico & Lala

for our Save the dates and we are using them for our

wedding invitations as well. They are fantastic

and I highly recommend them. They made my Save the date

visions come to life and I love what they created!

I was so excited to see this box at the front door!

 Everything Nico & Lala does oozes fantasticness (yes, just

made up that word!) Look at these adorable return address

labels!

 Perfectly packaged, of course!

I also ordered custom stamps from zazzle.com and

used one of our engagement pictures. I think they turned 

out perfect and add a special touch to the front of the envelope!

 Front of the envelopes stamped.

 Beverly & I printed all of these using the same

font on the card.

And the big reveal....

Once again I love how they turned out! I blurred out

our wedding website at the bottom because the password

is listed on the invite as well and no one likes wedding stalkers.

 I love how the front turned out. Classic and simple.

Just like I wanted.

 And the back with our wedding logo and return 

address! LOVE! 

On the way to the post office!!

Of course I still had to take mailbox shot to send to 

family and friends letting them know they are on the way!

Check out Nico & Lala for all your invitation needs and

they just started making the most adorable Ipad

covers ever! Check them out here. Think I can 

convince them to throw the nautical kelly one in?! hehe :)

Hope you enjoyed this Bridal Talk Tuesday! More wedding

updates coming up soon. Beverly gets married

in 10 days yahoooo!!!

Bridal Talk Tuesday: Engagement Picture DIY/Behind the Scenes

Linking up with Life with Elizabeth today

for Bridal Talk Tuesday! 

Today I am going to reveal how I made some of the props

we used in our Engagement Picture shoot. Most of the ideas

that I found were from Pinterest (surprise, surprise!)

 These don't look like a total fail but they were. I painted

them a pretty khaki color with a gold sheen and then

used the crackle paint and it didn't work. I still think the color

turned out nicely and went well with the background colors.

These are from Hobby Lobby.

 The banners were something I knew that I wanted

to do from day 1 of engagement prop planning.

The anchor stencils are from the Martha Stewart

Michaels nautical collection, and the letter and

number stencils are from Hobby Lobby. 

I found a tutorial online

that was kinda confusing so I ended up making them

all on my own. I measured the burlap and cut one to use

as a stencil for all the rest. 

 I ended up making two banners, one with the date

and one that said 'Save the Date'. 

 After they dried I simply folded a tiny flap of the top of the

penant over the string of burlap and got glued it.

 I LOVE LOVE LOVE how these turned out.

Especially the anchors!

 The next project was these numbers. I painted them

the first time and it was too blue (see the back of the right one)

so then I bought a darker color which was more navy. 

Then I used the pop-top part of an aluminum can and hot

glued them to the back so that I could string them all on my 

jute.

 Final product.

Final product.

I can't find the pictures for how I made these

but there are SO many tutorials out there to do so. 

All you have to do is google 'Moss Green letters'. 

I bought the sheet moss from Joann Fabrics and

cut it to size around the cardboard letters also from Joanns.

 I used two packs on these. I love how 

these turned out as well! 

 Of course my BFF Carrie was my hair inspiration!

(as she almost always is) 

 This is how it looked when I left the salon..

A little poofy and a bit too curly but

it fell out so nicely! I love my hair stylist. 

This is where we took our pictures.

Boca Grande, FL. It's so weird that this 

is in the same county as the one I live in but

it still took us about 1 hour 30 minutes to get there..

but so worth it! 

Let me know if anyone else has any other

questions!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Linking up with Elizabeth from

Life with Elizabeth today for Bridal

Talk Tuesday to share some more of our engagement photos!

I actually wrote this post last Wednesday thinking it was

Tuesday.. that's how busy it gets when you have nothing

to do. You forget what day it is.

These pictures were posted on our photographer, Maria Glassford's

blog, found here. 

Whatcha think?! We obviously are in love with them.. and

we are busy having our Save the Dates designed right now! 

More on that to come soon.

Also, I will be updating y'all on everything going on

at the moment sometime this week.
