(like the rod stewart song)
i'm an elder millennial living in the bay area who loves dark beer, the environment, and sewing for the tiny humans in my life.
aside from flower girl dresses and food trucks there is one more thing about our wedding I've had planned for years: the table names.
in addition to lavender victor and I are really digging the dylan family these days.
for the second part of our honeymoon went to yosemite.
our first we checked into our cabin, unloaded the our suitcase and the yeti from the Volvo, then kicked back to enjoy a beer.
for #weddingwednessday this week I'm going to do a final post about our seating chart!
not to brag or anything, but last year victor and I had a pretty epic harvest:
one of my favorite gifts from victor came on Valentine's Day 2014 when for $19.99 he got me a rose bush from Whole Foods.
remember how we got awesome beer and wine for our wedding?
victor knows me so well.
for christmas he gave me the kinkajo bottle cutter and it is so much fun!
so back in college vic was known as "bro theme". we're alike in that way and these days we have quite the theme going on: lavender.
here is one thing I learned about wedding planning: once you decide on a venue and guest count the amount of money you are going to spend is pretty much set. but while you can't save money you can get more for your money.
when I first moved to California in the fall of 2013 the drought was big news, so one of my first acts of gardening was planting six lavender plants, which are notoriously drought tolerant.
when we last left off with maya's dress it was in pretty good shape.
I knew one of the flower girl dresses would need to be my favorite oliver + s pattern: the library dress, and who better to make it for than my rough and tumble namesake etta?
my youngest niece is miss neela banana peela. Now this child is so perfect anything would look great on her.
you may recall for our seating assignment display I was inspired by this pin:
let's get these flower girl dresses started shall we? first up: my maya.
thus far in our invitation adventure we have:
and I have to say all the pieces were looking pretty good.
so far in our wedding invitation saga we have:
but wait, there's more!
