Flowers

100 paper flowers and counting...

A couple of weeks ago the girls came over and we had a HUGE/SUCCESSFUL flower making party. Thank you to Lisa, Linnea, Teri, Courtney & Johanna for tracing, rolling and gluing. 

You may ask, why do you need so many paper flowers? 

We will be using them for part of are decoration for our center pieces. When I first started talking about flowers for the wedding someone quoted a price that was a big chunk of our budget, 

so I realized I needed to get creative. 

So of course I turned to pintrest and found my inspiration, resulting in these cute paper flowers.





I am wondering if I make these flowers out of ribbon and then solve my bouquet troubles. Thoughts?

These flowers have nothing to do with my wedding day. But this past weekend my fiancée (hehe) brought me flowers and they are still alive. This says two things 1. Paul is super good at taking hints from me 2. I CAN keep plants alive :) 

No Sun, No Productivity

I have the hardest time being product when the sun is not out. I think my body feels like, hey if the sun doesn't have to work today, why do i? oh silly body. 

These beginning posts will catch everyone up to speed on how the wedding planning is going. Which if you know me, you know that I have 90% of the wedding already planned. So in my opinion, it's going great!

Please note the really great hair piece the lady told me would be perfect for me,
 right after I told her I wanted something simple.

 So I went to a bridal shop just to see what kind of dresses there were out there. The lady and I didn't seem to meet eye to eye on what style I wanted. I kept saying simple but the dress she kept bringing me got bigger and more detailed. I am so glad that I don't need to go from store to store finding a dress because Lynn Fish will be making my wedding dress, which I couldn't be more excited about! I got to come up with my own design, a expert seamstress will be making a dress just for me, and we are saving so much money due to Lynn's generosity. Thanks so much Lynn!!

Laurel LOVING trying on dresses with Grandma Nyberg

Also, a big thanks to Betty (and Laurel of course) for coming with me to look at wedding dresses. We made sure to give Laurel some time to figure out what she would wear for the big day. She kept telling me that every dress would be prefect for her and is quite worried about not finding a dress for herself. 

Do not fear Laurel, your perfect dress is out there. 

If at first you don't succeed...

 ... try, try, try again.

Well, here goes my second third attempt at blogging. I thought it might be nice to have a blog. It has the potential to be a place to say my ramblings (eventual even Paul's ramblings),

cool nature photos

Cutsie couple photos

and of course, adorable photos of Townes!

Oh, and probably some information about a little event that will be taking place on September 1st.

 So stayed tuned for good fun to come.
