the not so secret anymore wedding journal

my little coffee table in my studio full of all things wedding related!

girls, we all know that we start a binder or book of ideas for our wedding before we are actually engaged! now... I didn't let myself start mine until a few months before being engaged because I didn't want to plan too much before the engagement excitement began!

This whole engagement makes me realize how much I am like Monica on Friends! haha... my brother and I laughed about how most girls wish they were like Rachel, but more of us are like Monica than we think...haha!

this is the first page of my wedding journal

I have been collecting invitations, envelopes, save the dates, shower invites, etc

Loyd is totally excited about doing a wax seal on the invitations... AND I found out the other day that you can buy wax sticks for this that go in a hot glue gun!!



I got this handmade journal from a street vendor type shop in New York when I was there in college with my roommates! I knew I wanted to save it for something special....

how to plan a wedding in 90 days...week one and two:

week one:

asked bridesmaids, groomsman, & flower girls,
booked church for wedding and reception
gathered addresses, made save the date, bought my wedding dress

week two:

asked pastor and ceremony musicians, sent save the dates,
almost all bridesmaid ordered their dresses, had my first fitting
looked into catering, registered for gifts

  1. I thought I recognized that journal :)

    I like what you've done so far! I recognize one of those invites...

    Wax seal sounds awesome!

    Your save the date was so cool! I like that clear layer thing. How did you print that?
