i know i say this in each countdown, but i seriously cannot believe it’s only 3 months away! this was a very exciting month. all the things we did made it that much more real that i will get to marry the man of my dreams in
t h r e e  m o n t h s!!!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

previous wedding countdowns // {10 months}   {9 months}   {8 months}
{7 months}   {6 months}   {5 months}   {4 months}

this month we:

• ordered my wedding shoes. so adorable!
• ordered our guestbook, and things that go along with it
• ordered our unity ceremony. you’ll just have to wait to see what it is!
• WENT TO TEXAS FOR MY BACHELORETTE!!!
  • you can find part one here → {a texas bachelorette-part one} and part two here → {a texas bachelorette-part two} i still have a bonus post coming for that so stay tuned!
• while i was in texas i met my coordinator at my venue and had meetings with practically all of my vendors. it was pretty much my final walk through as that was the last time i would be going to texas, with some free time, before the wedding.
• we met with our caterer and figured out placements for the food, the napkins, the favors, etc.
• we met with our dj and discussed music and played with some uplighting.
• we hopped on over to the place we are renting our linens through and played with some new linens…we ended up just sticking with our original plan.
• and the last meeting was with our florist! let’s just say she had a lot of work to do after we left. is that typical though? do brides start changing their minds the closer they get to the wedding?
• paid off all of our vendors except our photographer…how awesome is that???

 the front of the chapel looking towards the back. this will be cale’s view when those big doors swing open and he’ll see his girls walking down the aisle. OH MY GOSH!

 i’m still in so much awe in all the details this venue has. picture these with lush greenery hanging and intertwined all around. dreamy right???

 i’ve been waiting and waiting to snap my own picture of this view. it’s absolutely breathtaking.

happy happy three months!! it’s going to go by so quick!

always,
