organisation!

Ok so I'm slightly....over organised. I love check lists, To Do lists, pretty stationary....I love it all. If you've been following the blog, you would have already seen posts on my Wedding Folder, and my fabulous Wedding Notes.

Well, thanks to Caizn of Homespun Bliss and this post, I'm now going to be spending the day printing out all of the marvelous templates for my folder that can be found at the Russell and Hazel website. Dangerous. Yet so satisfying!

For anyone just starting in their planning and creating their own wedding folder, check out the awesome templates over at Russell and Hazel. They cover almost everything you can think of, although I will be adding a DIY list. They even have some templates for destination weddings!

I'm looking forward to spending the day relaxing, listening to some Adele and organising my folder...I also plan on going hunting for some cute little boxes for a wedding-related delivery that arrived yesterday! Unfortunately, I can't share with you til after the wedding (over a whole year away!)! How will I survive!? Ah well, more to write about after the big day...

Coming up soon - bridesmaid dresses, groomsmen boutonniere and my DIY plans!!!

i love mail deliveries...

...and I've had a few of them this week!

First up, our stamp came! And I love it! So all our Thank You's have been stamped and were mailed today - yay!



Then, I had a little envelope from twobirds arrive, with some sample colours I requested...If you haven't checked out twobirds dresses before, definitely do - they are awesome and about a bajillion dresses in one! (may be a slight exaggeration!) Very versatile and the colours are lovely...but I just don't think I'm a fan of the material. For any other occasion, yes, but the material is a little too, hmm, shiny maybe? for what I have in mind for bridesmaids? I think I'm leaning more towards soft and ethereal...But they really are gorgeous dresses...



THEN I got another AWESOME delivery from good ol' kikki k! You may remember I ordered my Wedding Folder from them? Well I got a $15 voucher from kikki k, just for having a birthday (isn't that nice!) and decided to buy their AWESOME Wedding Notes. Seriously, if any of you guys are just starting out your planning, or need a present for a bride-to-be, this is the BEST organiser I have come across! (and I am an organisation/stationary freak!) Check lists, lovely layouts for budgets, sections for EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF - this planner has it all! Plus, it is pretty and elegant. DEFINITELY recommend it!!! I was in my happy place this afternoon filling in all the pretty little areas and ticking off enough things to make me feel satisfied that I am an organised little bride-to-be :)




I was filling this out while watching "Bride Wars" today. I had my folder, my organiser and a bridal mag in front of me...all while watching a bridal movie...the future hubby walked in from mowing the lawns, took one look, shook his head and walked right back out. *whoops*

I also bought myself the newest Wedding Style Guide yesterday - it's my fav. wedding mag and I intend to get all of them before my wedding next year :) They just look so pretty too!!!



I also contacted a man about a car today (and future hubby is currently decided yay or nay!) and have a number of posts planned for the upcoming week! Going to try and blog for frequently!

Until then, I leave you with a picture of this stunning vintage Dior gown that The Lane posted on Facebook this week...*sigh, happy place again*....

Enjoy!

wedding related delivery!

Whoo! I had been waiting patiently for this package all day...by 4:30 I had given up. At quarter to 5, a lovely lady knocked on our door! Couldn't believe it, I was very excited. (warning: yes, I AM a stationary nerd...) It is my wedding organiser!

I ordered this last week from Kikki K and have been waiting rather impatiently for it to arrive. After opening it all up, it's already filled with all my contracts so far and a bazillion wedding related items. I feel much better already, knowing it is all organised and in one place! *sigh happily* Below are some pics of my new baby...Anyone else slightly OCD about organisation? What kinda of things do you have to keep all your wedding gear together?
