Save the Date!!

We are knee-deep in wedding stuff now and really looking forward to June 16th! We have set up a website so that our family and friends can access all the information they would need for the wedding. Events, places, times, maps, photos, stories, registry info...check it out!: www.jakelovesheather.com

A couple of weeks ago we sent out save-the-date cards. I don't think a lot of couples in Utah do them, but since we have so many friends and family out of state, we thought we’d give a heads up to those who need more time to plan travel arrangements. We sent them out as fun little postcards. This is what the front looked like:


And this is what the back looked like:

I don't think I've mentioned on here before, but my mom is a fabulous seamstress and I've asked her to make my wedding dress. Last week she came to my house in SLC to go fabric shopping, and to make a dressform. She wrapped me with this sticky paper, then dried it with hair dryers and cut it off. Now she has a model of my body to start making my dress with when I can't be there in Logan. For some reason, the whole process reminded me of making pinatas out of paper mache in elementary school. Pinata of Heather's body? Ole!


My mom is working right along on my dress...here's a sneak peak!

And the last topic on my wedding post today....Jake and I won a FREE engagement photography session from my friend Megan at Easy Dreamer Photography! I love her work and we are so excited. Check her out, she is amazing!

LOL I saw the brown paper and was instantly worried that that was a beginning version of the wedding dress (ie a paper dress) haha, I'm a moron.

It's so wonderful your mom can make yours for you - so it's exactly what you want - so excited to see more!
