Mason Jars Galore...

I'm so glad Pinterest is around to help me plan my wedding! Oh the ideas! My recent love is mason jars - all shapes, all sizes - I'm not biased. I don't think I would put names on the tags, but maybe write a cute saying like this...

Then I would add an additional matching tag they can write their name on or something similar. 

I just purchased a bountiful supply of mason jars from kmart.com regular price $9.99 on sale for $8.99, then I used a promo code: KMART10PSAVINGS that I found on Retailmenot.com and saved 10% PLUS FREE SHIPPING! A killer deal which scored me over 100 mason jars for $72 (which included tax!) Once it was all said and done I paid roughly $0.67 a mason jar! You can't find those savings at the dollar store! :P

I may be on mason jar overload, but I am loving every minute! 

If you have any cute ideas let me know!

I found it!

After several attempts of trying to find the perfect wedding dress I finally found the one this weekend! It's beautiful! I'm so glad that my mom, granny, and several of my friends were able to be there and support me in this big decision! Their reassurance made me feel so much more confident in my decision.

After explaining my Steel Magnolias wedding inspiration (you can stop laughing now) and what I thought my dress would look like the sales lady came back into the room with the first dress. It was a miss... a big one. Then the second dress she picked seemed a little grandma-ish. Then the third dress she brought me was satin. Satin. The look on my face must have said it all. Samantha (my MOH) sprung into action saving me from having to tell the sales lady how much I hated the dress and that we were on the completely wrong track. My saleslady (Ashley) was extremely helpful and patient. With persistence I took a spin around the salon in a sea of ivory dresses and found the one. Stuck between a silk dupioni a-line dress and a satin ball gown it shined and was everything I had been looking for and more. It's long, ivory, covered in lace and the perfect amount of beading.

In short, I don't have pictures of the dress because the salon (to be mentioned in a later blog) was extremely picky about no cellphones and no pictures... even after I gave them my VISA -Rediculous - almost made me change my mind, but the dress was too perfect. 

I can't wait to show it off to everyone once I have my hands on the dress! Much love to my friends and family that made this day extra special!

My Pinterest Problem(?)

I know most of us have been "bitten" by the Pinterest bug, but here recently I think I have logged in to Pinterest more than Facebook. After searching, planning, and "pinning" this evening I started to wonder... How would I have planned my wedding without Pinterest? 

In the search for rustic, yet chic wedding ideas I came across some of these great photos! 

My flower inspirations.

 And my gift inspirations. Spill proof cups to protect bridesmaid dresses while getting ready (top left,) bridesmaid day-of emergency kit (bottom left,) and my favorite the grooms beer "cake."

What are your favorite inspiration boards?
