Speaking of the Invitations…
I realized I have not posted photos of my revised invitations and the inserts. So here ya go! Oh yeah, made by yours truly, the mastermind behind elle Z designs of course. (Gotta throw in my shameless plug; I’ve gotta pay for this wedding somehow, right?!)

Front – Gatefold Style

3D Name Banner – My Favorite Part!

Entire Set – Invitation, Directions/Info Card, RSVP Postcard
I’ve said it many times and I’ll say it again, 1 year is too long for me to plan a wedding. Obviously I love all our wedding ideas, crafts, etc. but after poking around online and seeing other amazing work from FABULOUSLY creative and talented brides, I have started to second guess some of my projects. I keep looking at things and finding minor details I would do differently now that I’m up to my ears in wedding ideas.
Check out these girls and you will see what I mean: Amber (who has similar colors, GORGEOUS invitations, AND PERSONALIZED BRIDAL CONVERSE SHOES that make me so insanely jealous I might have to “borrow” the idea!
) and Heather who is also extremely talented. So many fun ideas!
But, I am trying to keep myself from redoing everything. Instead, I keep adding on more and more projects.
This crafty wedding may be overkill for some so…you’ve been warned!
Who else has had too much time planning that they find themselves redoing projects or adding more and more to their list?
Will You Be My Bridesmaid/MOH/Attendent/Usher??
I have been meaning to blog about this for a long time but I had to wait until everyone received their package and then I guess I kind of forgot about it. Other brides have posted on forums asking how other people asked people to be in their wedding and it reminded me that I have not shared my photos and stuff online yet.
For the girls I made a CD Jewel Case Calendar. I found photos and quotes online and did a layout in CorelDraw.

Hand Painted Aisle Runner – Part One COMPLETE!
Yay!! After about 4 sessions, or an estimated 8 hours of tracing, painting and
outlining…I present to you the completed part one of our personalized aisle
runner!!!

Ta-Da!!
Now, part two is to finish the monogram section and part three
is to put ribbon around the entire thing. We’re talking over 100′ of ribbon
folks. I’m a little nervous that I might mess up this whole project at the very
end. Stay tuned…
