the binder/my favorite inspiration

i began my "idea" binder last night.. there are SO many beautiful photos and blogs out there.

those women really put together some amazing and breathtaking things!
i am currently following about ten wedding blogs.. and they all have something fresh each day. it's nice to have so much content right at my fingertips... so inspiring :)

here is one of my absolute favorites. natural. elegant. rustic. simple.

days of rest

i've taken a little break from the whole wedding deal. since wedding planning IS my dream job, i've been a little indulgent in it! it was nice to remember i do have FIFTEEN months :)

i took my 12 year old sister to the brookfield zoo and a jonas brothers concert saturday.. we had such a great time! the weekend just flew by.
and on top of that, i'm moving out of my apartment WEDNESDAY!
it's been a very busy past couple of weeks.
i can't believe the last time i posted was on june 30th... wow!

i am just IN LOVE with this mason jar idea! i don't have my heart set on it 100%, because they are slightly expensive ($24.95 for a one gallon dispenser)

i am planning on getting several handles of sweet tea vodka. (YUM, you should try it!). it will be the only liquor served which will help save on costs (you mix it with water, it can't get much cheaper than that!)


oh, and the lanterns. how absolutely romantic.

dreamy. romantic. rustic.



hanging mason jars = gorgeous and inexpensive.

love the bouquet colors.

we can't have candles inside the barn. i'm thinking flameless? not quite the same, but i'll do.
