wedding ideas spewing!

okay, so, about two days ago i was completely stressing over the wedding (we still have 11 months.. does that mean i'm already becoming a bridezilla?! oh geez...) it got to the point where i felt my wedding was not going to be as vintage as we want. i had a few good ideas, but couldn't figure out how to make the picture bigger and better with more full ideas. then yesterday i was texting my mom about getting my bridesmaids dresses made. i have a whole 50's inspired look that i think is going to be a vital piece of the vintage feel. i never envisioned formal 'maids dresses because that's just not my style at all. i want our BIG DAY to just be relaxed and happy. then the ideas started spewing. i'll give you a  picture show on just how crazy i went.

then i got to thinking about the tables (table covers, centerpieces, confetti's, ect) my favorite fabric of all time is burlap! i'm just in love with it. i probably have 10 messenger bags made of old burlap coffee bean bags. i thought about it and even if we just use plain old white table cloths, i can make a burlap runner much like in the photo below. it would be a super easy and cheap make!

then i started to think about how else i wanted to decorate the table with out going overboard, i thought CONFETTI! i searched around etsy and saw the absolute cutest idea. heart shaped cut outs of old vintage papers, hymnals, french dictionary's (ect)! the prices weren't right for the amount they were willing to sell, so i decided to search deeper into etsy for hymnal pages, dictionary pages ect and found a great shop! [http://www.etsy.com/shop/tripletrouble] i bought hymnal pages and old german to english dictionary pages (i thought it was fitting since josh is german!) i plan to just make these myself.. how simple! here is the play by play:

(we've already seen the centerpieces, but i wanted to get the full effect here, haah)

  i'm very excited and so happy that my brain started going crazy with ideas. i think i just needed to remember that i've never done this before, planning a wedding isn't something you can just know how to do. i'm still not sure when to do what, when but it'll all fall into place, there have been millions of weddings before mine and they all survived, let's hope i do too.
