I will become Mrs. Newkirk! I know it's still a long ways away, but we're making progress. In wedding update news, we've been eyeballing some catering businesses around my home town, and I'm still trying to cut the guest list, ugh!
We're also getting our engagement pictures taken next month, which I am super excited for! I'm currently trying to find some props so if anyone has any vintage hardback books or old blackboards I can borrow please let me know!
I have also been slowly working on growing out my hair for my big day! I'm getting it thinned and trimmed about every 9 weeks to keep to growing healthy! My hair stylist, Laura, (who is amazing!) is helping me pick a wedding day look with my hair. Each time that I go in before the wedding, we end the appointment with a different possible wedding hairstyle, take a picture of it, and save it until the wedding day! Then I'll pick my favorite at the end and go with that one! :)
I had been putting wedding plans on the back burner since Spring Break, but wedding season has put a spring back in my step for wanting to get things done. I went to my friend Lauren's beautiful wedding last weekend, and it really made me want to plan away!
I think what I'm most nervous about is decor. I have no idea what I'm going to do for centerpieces, reception decorations, or even ceremony decor. I don't want my wedding/reception to look like everyone else's but I also have a very limited budget. ...oh the woes of a poor bride. ha! So, if anyone has any cool purple/yellow/grey summery fun decor ideas let me know!
I'll try not to wait three months before my next post!
