Engagement Photos

We arrived back from Florida earlier this afternoon. Flights from Miami to LAX always feel endless, but I'm back and already in the swing of things. I'm in my Comparative Religions class now. So...tired...but it was worth it. Lindsey and Jared's wedding was beautiful. All was chaos leading up to it but in the end, it went not only smoothly but peacefully. They will lead a wonderful life and I am so excited for them! My friend and old roommate, Kaitlyn, made a blog post with photos from the weekend. They're so great. :-)

Kurt and I got our engagement pictures back from Joshua David Watson. Here are a few of my favorites. I especially like the first one, Kurt and I are holding one of the burlap signs I made and mentioned in an earlier post. I think it turned out really well.

Next up

Kurt & I want our wedding to be up-beat, fun & creative. I've been brainstorming on fun things to do for our wedding photos & when I came across Victorianstation's Etsy shop & saw her work, I knew I wanted to make some burlap signs. They are so cute! I already love burlap so I have plenty of it to work with. I started the project yesterday & it's really easy, I just need some hemp cord to finish it up.

Mason Jars & Burlap

I love mason jars. And since I'm not going for a super classy, traditional feel for my wedding, I'm going to use them for centerpieces and also to hang from the ceremony chairs. I got the idea to wrap burlap and lace around them from Ruffled blog to dress them up a little and add a unique touch. They're super easy to put together. It only took me 5 minutes to cut the burlap and lace and secure them to the jar with a little hot glue. :-)
