As it Comes to an End…

Posted June 25th, 2010 | 9:00 am | By Jessyca Mullan | 8 Comments

I couldn’t even really believe that this is my last blog post! I was about to write as if I had another one coming. But I guess not only am I writing like normal, I am also saying good-bye. I have really enjoyed this time with everyone. The other brides-to be, you’ve all been wonderful, and the time just flew by!

As I write this, I am watching Say Yes to The Dress and I can’t help but think about my fittings coming up in July. I will be heading down to Kleinfeld’s for a three-day, three-fittings, round of appointments. After more than a year-and-a-half of waiting for it to arrive, now I can’t believe it’s sitting there waiting for me and when I go for the appointment the wedding will be less than a month away! I’m really looking forward to our wedding day, and I hope to hear about all the other bloggers days as well! I feel like I know you all now and I feel very lucky to have had this opportunity with you all. Read the rest of this entry »

Tying up the Loose Ends so We can Tie the Knot!

Posted June 11th, 2010 | 9:00 am | By Jessyca Mullan | 7 Comments

The bow on the front of our menu booklets

I guess when you’re just a little over two months away from your wedding, that’s when everything really starts coming together. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve had more appointments than I can count.

To give an update on my hair, I went for another trial and it was much better than the first. Completely different style and this hairdresser really knew how to handle my thick hair. It didn’t budge at all. I made sure to jump up and down to be sure! I’m really excited that that aspect was taken care of.

My room has now turned into a printing press! I’m printing maps, menus and ceremony programs, and the piles of paper are starting to overtake me. I keep saying I’m glad the guest list is on the smaller side, because it would have multiplied the cost and the amount of work. For our menus I decided to tie Tiffany-style bows around every single one. I’m glad to say I completed the task much faster than I thought, and it really cut down on what it would have cost if I hired someone to make them.

I was hoping I would have a photo of our centrepiece by now, but the stock has not arrived as of yet. We decided on renting centrepieces using silk flowers rather than real ones from a florist. This especially kept some costs lower, considering florists don’t offer rentals! Not that I know of anyway. If everything goes as planned it will be a very tall trumpet style vase, with a large pomander or roses and Gerber daisies. Read the rest of this entry »

So much to do! So little time!

Card Box design (mine will be in Tiffany blue and ivory with pink flowers)

As the weekends are slowly crossing themselves off my calendar I’ve set my mind to trying my best to get everything done by the beginning of July (my aunt says I’m kidding myself) and I probably won’t be even close to finished, but I’d like to have less rather than more on my plate.

The past couple of weekends have been wedding-filled. I stumbled on a great special on the exact paper we had been planning on getting for our ceremony programs and our menu cards—75% off! I was ecstatic! Construction on our house was completed. I found a beautiful card box and matching guestbook (from etsy.com), that will be arriving in June. I finalized the linen rentals for the guest tables, I’ve started to look at everyone’s schedules for a good night for the rehearsal dinner and I had a trial for my hair.

By the time the weekend is over I don’t want to think about weddings anymore! I’ve been surprised with my productivity and my luck at finding and getting things done the past few weeks. Unfortunately there’s always some bad to go along with the good. Read the rest of this entry »

Something New and Something Blue…

Posted May 14th, 2010 | 9:00 am | By Jessyca Mullan | 7 Comments

I have two great things to blog about today! And who knew one could be so excited about two little things!

I really wanted a unique garter to wear for the wedding. The traditional white lace with blue trim was just not going to cut it for me. I checked in some stores in town but they all looked the same. So I turned to the world wide web for help. It didn’t take long! gartersbykristi.com turned out to be the perfect match for what I was looking for. She has an endless supply of sports themed garters, paired with a great variety of “classic” styles and other designs as well. I was able to find a garter that matched my wedding and it will really stand out with the flash of colour. Read the rest of this entry »

If The Shoe Fits…

Posted April 30th, 2010 | 9:00 am | By Jessyca Mullan | 6 Comments

I found them!! Hoorah!

I love shoes. I have at least 50 pairs of them, boots, stilettos, flip flops, flats, sandals, sneakers, you name it I probably have it. And I knew what I wanted for my wedding. Being 5’10” with a fiancé who is exactly the same height, I decided to stay completely away from heels. This was a tough decision for someone who wears them almost every day. However, I really do not want to be taller than Joseph, and even though he said I could wear them if I want, I’m sure deep down he doesn’t want me towering over him either.

So what I’m searching for are flats. Not just any flats—flats that look just as beautiful as a great pair of heels. At first I didn’t think it would be so hard. Boy, was I so very wrong. Read the rest of this entry »

Stop and Smell the Roses…

Joseph and I enjoying a day of skiing!

With everything going on—building our house and planning the wedding and honeymoon, it feels like that is all we talk about. Joseph’s been working long hours, I’ve been trying to make sure we don’t forget to book anything, and it’s starting to wear down on us.

I had read some good advice about going out together and not talking about the wedding. Lately it didn’t seem possible. It really starts to consume your everyday life! Especially as you get close to the date.

Between his work schedule we finally got to plan a night out, on the anniversary of our first date. And it wasn’t even hard to not talk about it for the evening. It was very refreshing and some much needed fun and time together. I highly recommend anyone feeling a bit stressed out should definitely plan a night where you don’t talk about any of that “stuff.” It really did us both a lot of good. Read the rest of this entry »

Your Chariot Awaits…

Posted March 26th, 2010 | 9:30 am | By Jessyca Mullan | 12 Comments

"Its even got a blue interior!"

I had been completely ahead of the game on planning this whole event. We had decided to be engaged for two years, which gave us plenty of time to find vendors we loved, and really think about what we wanted. It was nice to feel relaxed about making decisions and not rush into anything. I have to say that so far, I think that has helped make planning this wedding less stressful.

Now, as we are getting closer I’ve started to realize all these tinier details that still need to be worked out, and just when I thought it had all calmed down, I find myself pre-occupied with yet another checklist of things to do!

One of which, (not so small a problem I might add) is whether we should hire a limousine or not—either for us, or our wedding party. I’ve always thought that this was a way I could save on costs. My father has an old 1955 Chevy, in “almost” Tiffany Blue colour that he could have one of his good friends drive us around in. Now I thought this could be a great idea, with a nice vintage touch.

Our Wedding, in a Virtual Scrapbook!

Posted March 12th, 2010 | 11:00 am | By Jessyca Mullan | 10 Comments

I had been looking for a way to get the information about our wedding out to our guests, and also get both sides of the family to know each other a little better before the wedding. Joseph and I thought a great way to do that would be with a wedding website that shares information about ourselves and about our families.

This way, even guests that were out of town, or that we hadn’t seen in a while could feel closer to us and the events leading up to the big day.

Now that the save the dates are mailed, (like Emily, I can’t call them STD’s either!) I can share with you our wedding website. Read the rest of this entry »
