Today we got a big box in the mail.
Our invitation paper is officially here!!  I'm so excited to get started on my invites.  I know I've been saying this with basically every check, but this makes it feel so much more real.  Ahhh!!

I also got an email from Carnival.  I had emailed them last week because we booked Early Saver, which guarantees the lowest rate.  They had a lower rate published for our cruise/room type and so I sent in a form and got our rate lowered, too.  So yay- that's exciting!  I'll continue to stalk the website to make sure we don't miss out on any lower fares as well.

Sunday we registered at Target and it was actually a lot of fun.  I can't wait to register at Macy's on the 15th now.  We had a really good time and had a lot of fun imagining what our future home will look like and stuff.

Last but definitely not least, our flowers are ordered!!!  We're getting a 23-piece package from Etsy seller ShayesBridalBoutique and I love love LOVE our flowers.
My bouquet will be wrapped in teal and ivory (in the pic above, imagine the green ribbon as ivory) and topped with a starfish brooch.
All other bouquets/boutonnieres/corsages will have purple ribbon.  I know it's not one of my wedding colours, but it is my favorite colour.  And blue & purple is my favorite colour combo.  AND Chris liked it better than the brown, so whenever he has any kind of opinion about the wedding I take that as a good sign.

Things are coming along swimmingly!!
 
Though my bank account is slowly draining, I love making wedding purchases.  Nothing like going to the mailbox and finding a package- however small- with wedding goodies in it.  The wedding stash I currently have in our bedroom keeps getting bigger.  It's lovely.

I'm pretty excited about this VS "newlywed" bikini bottom I purchased from another DW Knottie.

Just a close-up shot of the "newlywed" detail. I love that the crystals are in blue!

I plan to use this in my hair for the ceremony, and then hopefully on my bustle for the reception. It might become a bouquet charm, though. We'll see!
