Everything YELLOW!

I have been a horrible blogger but I promise to be better once all the wedding mayhem is over. A quick update, I used 5+ bottles of yellow spray paint this past weekend and cannot wait to show you all the fun projects I've been working on. We are getting down to the wire but I am trying to enjoy every moment of it and limit my stress as much as possible. More frequent posts coming in less than 20 days!!!

Wedding Mayhem

I have been a horrible blogger the past fews weeks but the truth is it will probably be this way until after our wedding. The next 30 days are jammed packed with bridal showers, vendor meetings, and baking! In order to prove that I haven't forgotten about my blog and that I've really have been very busy, I have posted a few snapshots of what I've been working on the past few weeks.

Letter Cakes

We aren't planning on having a traditional wedding cake, but if we were I love the look of these seemingly plain cakes decorated with a splash of color. Of course if these were our cakes they would surely have yellow writing instead of red and pink!

Polka Dot Wedding Invitations

With 6 weeks until our wedding I am starting to enter panic mode. There is a never ending list of things to do and of course no time to get them done. Ian and I are spent the 4th of July weekend power washing and spray painting in order to try and cross a few things off our list, this weekend Ian is celebrating his bachelor party while I work on to a million DIY projects.

One thing that keeps me smiling through all the stress is our polka dot invitations! I designed them, hand cut envelope liners and even addressed them myself. I couldn't be more pleased with the final result and I especially enjoyed receiving the polka dot response card envelopes in the mail for the past month!

The Happiest Place on Earth

I am headed to Los Angeles for work, hopefully squeezing in some wedding band shopping, and definitely Disneyland! I can't wait to catch up with Minnie and Mickey after all these years. I didn't have time to bake for the occasion but if I had I would've used Mickey as my inspiration.

Summer

As we hit the 2 month mark I already feel the summer slipping away from me! I recently organized my calendar which led me to put together a list of all the things I wanted to do before Labor Day. Between bridal showers, bachelorette parties and our wedding in August I would like to squeeze in a few summer favorites!

1. Spend a day like a tourist in San Francisco - Ian and I have been trying to walk across the bridge or visit Alcatraz ever since I moved home 3 summers ago, hoping this is the summer!

2. Enjoy drinks/dinner outside whenever it’s warm.

3. Go on a hike or two or three...

4. Spend some time relaxing in Kenwood not focused on the wedding (seen here).

5. Organize our Kitchen in hopes of fitting at least a few of our wedding presents!

6. Get a tan - I don't tan easily but I'm hoping between Kenwood, Tahoe and Mexico I can form at least a little tan before August.

7. Find time to bake a fresh fruit pie in our new pie dish.

8. Spend time with family and friends!

9. Spend at least one weekend in Tahoe - it's embarrassing but Ian and I have been to Tahoe together since last September when we got engaged (seen here).

10. Get Married (no biggie)!!!

What’s on your summer to-do list?

Veil or No Veil

I have my first dress fitting this weekend, which has me thinking about how to complete the look. I'm not sure if I'm a veil kinda bride, but I also don't see myself with a headband or a birdcage. Thoughts?
