Wedding Wednesday: Updates

It's been a few weeks since I've done a "Wedding Wednesday" post. I've been so busy with work and just life in general, that I haven't had the time to do it! So... today I'm updating on what's new. *Warning* Lots of pictures to follow.

I've scheduled my alterations and bridesmaid dress shopping appointment for November, when I'll be back in Indiana for a week. Here are a few bridesmaid's dresses that I like:    
I've been looking at groom/groomsmen options for the wedding (other than suit & tie). Because we're going for a more casual setting (and cheaper is always better), I just think that suit & tie might be too formal. Nothing has been decided yet, but I really like this concept; dark jeans and no jacket:
We've I've decided to put my DIY skills to the test and make our invitations, stuffers, save the dates, and programs. Not only will it be fun, but I'll be saving so much money in the process. I ordered all the supplied for everything yesterday, and I can't wait for it to get here and get started! Here are some of the invitations that made it to the final five (I can't show you the one we picked quite yet; but I will as soon as possible!):

 
I've decided to go with a red bouquet and have my girls hold white ones. I think this will look great since I'll have the white dress and they'll have red!
And last but certainly not least, I told asked my dad if he could put something together for an entrance. Because our ceremony will be outside I wanted something to kind of hide myself from everyone until it's time to walk down the isle. I sent him this:
Fingers crossed he can accomplish something like this! I hope everyone has a fantastic Wednesday!

  2. Everything looks amazing!! Our groomsmen wore vests with bowties instead of jackets and it looked great. My husband wore a jacket though so he could stand out a little bit.
