Wedding Colors
I love the combination of red and turquoise. I am still crossing my fingers that I will be able to use this color palette at my wedding, but I'm still a little undecided. Over the past few months I've gathered a good amount of pictures to help explain why I am dreaming of these colors together. Most people say I'm crazy, but let's see if I can convince you...

Friday: Wedding Inspiration
What I'm currently thinking about the most is how to make add amazing personal touches to show our personalities and make the night unique.
I like the idea of having an old fashioned photo booth that prints two copies, one for the guests and one for a guestbook. I am hesitant to go forward with it only because it feels a little trendy and I think almost EVERYONE is going to be doing them this summer. My alternative idea to the photo booth uses a Polaroid Camera and quirky prompts on how to use it. The set up would look something like this...
Instead of putting the names of all the guests, I'll put instructions on the tags like
"Take a picture of you and your guest."
"Take a picture of someone getting down on the dance floor."
"Take a picture of you and the cupcakes!"
"Take a picture of someone playing outdoor games."
Something else we are planning on is personalized water bottles for the outdoor ceremony. We will buy labels, stick them on Costco water bottles, and place them in colorful buckets around the ceremony area. It's the perfect accommodation for guests attending an outdoor ceremony in August.

Organization
My system for organization keeps me grounded. I go crazy when my life is cluttered, so I usually stay on top of the organization in my life.
I keep a planner that I write EVERYTHING in. Without it, I would be lost. Barnes and Noble has the cutest planners that are fun to write in and have thick enough paper to allow for colored pens. There is also a folder compartment in the back to stick small papers, sticky notes, things like that in.

In my closet, I organize all my craft supplies into plastic organizing drawers. On top of that, I have a few rows of shelving for things like my Cricut, beading supplies, and pens. I couldn't include a picture of my closet because I am in the process of moving but this closet example from the Container Store is very similar. I love putting up wallpaper, posters, or even wrapping paper on the back wall of the closet to keep in bright and fun.
Favorites
Every week I will add a new favorite picture, link, product, or recipe that I have stumbled upon.
Week of January 15-21:
On an episode of Four Weddings on TLC I saw the perfect idea for ceremony decorations at my upcoming wedding. I didn't want anything too over the top and this simple decoration is not only affordable, but creative and whimsical. It ties in amazingly well to the large white ball lanterns we will have hanging from our reception room. I could go on forever about how excited I am about this touch!

About Me
I am excitingly close to graduating college and becoming an elementary teacher. A few months ago I got engaged to the most amazing guy. My life is filled with student teaching, wedding planning, eating healthy, crafting with my mom, and trying to save money for our upcoming endeavors!
We are starting a whole new adventure in the suburbs of Seattle. Luckily, I was able to convince by future hubby to uplift his roots in Denver and start a new job to be out here with me :)
I love finding ways to personalize my upcoming wedding without spending a fortune. In the next few months I will be moving into an apartment with my fiance, so my mind is swirling with ways to decorate.
I am incredibly blessed to have found the guy of my dreams, an amazing family, a great group of friends, and the best future in laws I could have ever asked for.
