Wedding Stuff

Preview

Freedom is more than liberties, it is a state of mind; it is the deep seated sense of serenity, peace, and faith that comes from living toward a greater good. Happy fourth, everyone. Thank you, my ancestors.

Spent yesterday picking up stuff for my bridesmaids. While they'll all have black heels for the ceremony, for the reception we're switching them into 'vivid blue' Chuck Taylors for comfort (and style! ;))A week and a half ago, I ordered everyone's shoes - apparently the shipping center sent one pair in the wrong color (so we reordered it and we're waiting for that one), and then the size list got lost - soooo, I'm hoping that we have everyone's shoes in the appropriate size. If not, well, at least they'll be a size too big rather than a size too small? Oh details, details...

I also ordered their necklaces:And their earrings:

I also ordered a few things for myself, to try on with the dress (which, yes, I realize there are no pictures of yet... patience, patience...).

These are the necklaces:


And here are the earrings:

Both the necklaces and the earrings were ordered through an Ebay seller - Beadscorner - and are Native style, though not necessarily Native made. Their prices were exceptional; more on quality when they arrive.

We also went and got the wallet-sized photos to drop into our invitations, and the custom guest book that I ordered arrived yesterday. I ordered it through Picaboo, and I really could not be happier; the only issue I have is that one of the pictures came out a little lower quality than I would have liked, but that's my own fault for not having a larger/higher resolution photo on that page - they warned me that it might come out that way. Either way, it's still leaps and bounds ahead of the sterility of the traditional ones I've seen; they always make me feel like I'm signing in and out of a hospital.

I hope it's big enough.
