Well, the Royal Wedding is over.

Kate was Beautiful, of course.

And now, we can finally move on to the 2nd most highly anticipated wedding of the season- OURS!

Only 3 more weeks!

Eye Candy: shades of purple

"Lilac Love" from Green Wedding Shoes

As of late...

6 weeks from today,

Jordan and I are off to Costa Rica as

Husband and Wife!

Can't wait!

This past weekend was very productive

as far as planning goes.

We made final decisions on cake(as seen here)

and flowers.

We chose hydrangeas for our flowers

and while we are using a florist for our bouquets,

we are going to be putting together the centerpieces ourselves!

We also visited with Diane at Cragun's, again,

to finalize details for everything from the rehearsal to the dancing.

The only thing that was unsettling while we were there

was just exactly how frozen the lake is still.

Being that Brainerd is 2 hours North of where we are,

they are just that much further behind in thawing out from winter.

In fact, they had another foot of snow just over a week ago!

Our fingers are crossed for some serious spring weather in the next 6 weeks

to melt that ice;)

Other than that,

it has been so much fun recieving RSVPs in the mail!
We are so pleased with the turnout so far! 

 And, I am looking forward to another wonderful shower

hosted by Jordan's aunts this weekend!

Another Great Etsy Purchase

I am loving my latest wedding purchase, the ring pillow!

I found it here.

The seller also sent me some extra lace to tie onto the flower girl basket or bouquet.

Plus, I love how it ties in with my burlap banners.

Remember these?

It's all coming together!

"Sole"Mates

Okay, here it is!

I have had a few people ask what shoes they should wear for our outdoor wedding.

Being that the wedding is in the grass, I know they are concerned about their heels sinking into the ground.

The solution?

SoleMates.

These discreet little protectors attatch easily to most high heeled shoes and increase the surface area which helps to prevent you from sinking into the ground and keeps your heels clean.

They come in multiple colors and  can be found online or in these retailers.

So, wear the shoes you'd like and don't forget your

SoleMates!

Link Love: A Cup of Blonde

I can't believe how fast this week flew by!

And here we are in the first weekend of APRIL?

We can officially say we are getting married NEXT month!

How crazy is that?

Needless to say, while I have been slacking in the blogosphere,

my favorite bloggers have been hard at work.

In this weekend's edition of Link Love,

I wanted to share a blog written by a mutual friend, and fellow hairstylist, that is quickly becoming one of my faves!

Ally writes "A Cup of Blonde", a fashion blog that covers anything from easy DIY hairstyles:

to the latest must haves for spring:
