Confetti fun!!

I’ve always been a huge fan of confetti! You can usually find me with some crazy assortment of it that I’ve recycled and used again and again! I used to put it in letters I used to exchange with Becca- my old best friend in KY and …the kind that was really just teeny bits of cut up paper, so when she opened them the confetti would dump out all over her!! She often re-payed me by sending the exact confetti back in a return letter!!

Just this past weekend, I gained a new obsession- custom made confetti by Designs in Paper which is a local, Nashville company. I’d seen Ashley raving about it on her website, and Sunday saw it in person! It’s amazing!! It’s the cutest stuff!! They make it with a couple’s names, monograms….just about anything you can imagine!! Kelley was with me at the Perfect Wedding Guide show and saw a piece that said “Michelle and Todd” which just happens to be the names of her best friend from college and most likely “soon-to-be” fiance! They were so nice and let Kelley take that piece with her to give to Michelle! They also passed out these ADORABLE pins that said “The Future Mrs. H” or whatever the initial of your future last name! I proudly pinned mine to my purse to show it off….only to discover last night that I’d lost it!!! Waaahhhh!! Here’s hoping they’re at another show soon so I can get another one!!!

Even though I probably won’t order invitations through them, I am definitely and strongly considering the confetti! Maybe with “Stacey and Ray” and the date or maybe hibiscus flowers?? ) I wish I could afford their invitations, but I want something very basic and simple that I’ll probably do myself- after all, who’s going to keep it but me and my mom!!

Take a peek at DIP’s confetti- this is the kind they made for Ashley at her booth at the Frist

Welcome to my blog!!

Well, here is my little attempt at conquering the “blog-world.” I am by no means a pro at this, but I LOVE reading blogs- especially those of people I know and at the moment, I’m currently obsessed with WEDDING blogs!! Hmmm….could that have anything to do with the fact that I am getting married in a few short months??  I figured this might be a good way for me to record all of the amazing things I find while surfing the net hour after hour searching for the perfect accompaniments to the biggest day of my life! Some of them will be WAY out of my personal reach, but things that I just absolutely adore and can only dream of! Others may be things that I actually turn into reality for my big day….and still others will have NOTHING to do with weddings, but will still probably be pretty girlie!!!

So welcome! And please leave me comments and check out the blogs that I have linked to!! And a shout out to them (even if they don’t ever read this!!) If you are planning a Nashville wedding, DEFINITELY look up Mary Alice at A Delightful Day to get help planning your big day, and also check out Ashley’s awesome website, blog and message boards at Ashley’s Bride Guide. Mary Alice and I sang together in choir back in the day at DCA (and now work together!), and this past weekend I got the chance to meet Ashley (whose booth was right next to Mary Alice!) at the Perfect Wedding Guide bridal show at the Frist. She’s awesome!! So currently……those two blogs are some of my favorite things!!

Look for more soon!!!!
