I am so happy to have found your planning journal. You and your fiancé make a great couple. My husband and I were also together a long time before getting engaged. We also went ring shopping together before he proposed. I don't regret that choice as I have a great ring and wonderful memories shopping together for it.
I love you dress, especially the beautiful chiffon bottom and gorgeous detailed back. So romantic!
Love your invite too with the watercolour splash in the background. Wow
Can't wait to see more, keep'em coming!
Just got caught up on your PJ. Love your dress - it is beautiful!
Your invitations are GORGEOUS! Love the colors and all the patterns - so unique but so elegant!
Love the invitations!
Catching up and following along!
Love your gown! And Blush must be the in thing this year. So pretty!
Finally I have some time to write an update on my wedding planning progression.
Another big task on my to-do list is complete!
Invitations!
The invitation process a bit more problematic for my DF and I than I would like to admit.
When we first started looked at invitations we actually decided on the passport looking ones.
We even put a deposit down to get them designed.
Now here is where the biggest problem is, the design process with the particular designer was so complicated!
Now I feel like i need to put a disclaimer here, DF and I are VERY tech savvy.
I used to work in a technology store and my DF currently (and for the last 6 years) works for a very popular technology company. So usually things like this aren't confusing or complicated for us, we can figure things out fast.
But the format, forms and decisions we had to make (with no samples or examples) were baffling!
I was so annoyed! I didn't want to give this shop my business!
So with that and the fact that the passport kind of invitation wasn't as unique as I would have liked my invitations to be, we canceled and got our deposit back and continued to look for invitations we liked.
Honestly, I think it was a miracle when I came across KLynxDesigns on Etsy. As soon as I saw her designs I fell in absolute love and couldn't get them out of my mind but DF didn't want to make the same mistake we made the first time around with the invitations so we kept looking. Looked for another week and there was nothing I loved. I was comparing everything to Kim's designs! I made the decision that I needed those invitations, DF was completely down for it as well and the decisions was made.
I can't remember what I searched to find Kim's shop, I couldn't remember the name of her shop and I was never able to find it again! I was devastated! Why didn't I save it?!
So I pulled up my browser history and just searched and searched and searched until I finally found it!!
No joke, I was doing a major happy/victory dance!
I sent Kim a message about what I was looking for and she was so wonderful and understanding! She told me not to worry about anything, she would make sure it was all to my liking! The process was so smooth and simple and the results were perfection!
Obviously the picture above is not a photo of my finished invitations. The photo is from Kim's Etsy shop.
My invitations are currently in printing!
I HIGHLY recommend KLynxDesigns!
Kim is so creative and it really shows in all of her designs and she is just an absolute pleasure to work with!
What do you guys think of my invitation decision?
and thank you for reading along

We just mailed them off to our guests yesterday!

I may or may not have been stacking the boards waiting on your return back!
So much has happened in the last few weeks.
Lots of wedding planning progress!
The most exiting thing, in my opinion, is.....
