it's official!

It's official! We got engaged last night on Wollaston Beach. It was a gorgeous afternoon and the skyline was behind us. It was really sweet and perfect!

wedding band

I really love the idea of this wedding band, especially since it incorporates the Claddagh. They even have a matching one for K!

We went ring shopping last night! Pictures to come on Tuesday when we get the ring back from being sized. Finally, the engagement will be official on Tuesday, Valentine's Day! We didn't even plan it that way. Just how it worked out with the jewelry store. The ring is gorgeous, it's a single solitaire with a simple band. We looked at some that had a more vintage feel, but this one just looked and felt right as soon as I put it on my finger. Yay! Can't wait to share the photos. xo!

wedding shoes?!

I just ordered these adorable shoes from Toms. Will they be worn at the wedding? It's looking likely!!

pencils for mad libs

(from etsy seller thecarboncrusader)

one thing we're thinking of doing are wedding mad libs for all the tables.
these pencils would be great to go with them!

a tie for K

A cute King Charles Cavalier Spaniel tie from Vineyard Vines! What a great way to incorporate Coda into the wedding!

Whimsical, Casual, Fun

Those are the words I would use to describe our wedding. At least, those are the words I hope will describe our wedding! I've been posting lots of pictures of dresses. I have an idea for the bridesmaids to wear dresses they pick out that fall into a palatte of pastels and florals, and for the groomsmen to wear dress shirts and ties but not a full on tuxedo.

We want a very casual vibe. Of course K and I will still be dressed up but I think I'll be wearing sparkly converse under my dress. We will be having BBQ and cupcakes which are fun. The flowers will be in mason jars on the reception tables which gives a whimsical feeling. We will have cross-stiched table numbers on each table that my mom and I are going to put together, also adding to a whimsical nature. We are thinking of making mix CDs as a favor, but I'm not sure if we're doing that or not. Basically I want it to feel like a big party, and not a wedding. I think we'll be successful at that.
