Warm and Fuzzy :)

Aw, how cute. Our first piece of mail addressed to "Satterlee Family" Pretty cheesy, eh?

Ceremony Flowers

Experimenting with some jars I picked up from St. Vinny's last weekend. I think they would make awesome pew decorations. Whatcha think?

Flower Girl shirts

So, I have been trying to find these iron on gems that spell out "flowergirl". Amy and I searched the aisles of every craft store last Saturday before finally giving up. So, I got a little crafty with these and I think they turned out even better than I had pictured. Eat that JoAnne Fabrics :)

My little treasures :)

So, what better does a crazy bride have to do on a Saturday night? Why, wash 120 jars and vases of course! We will be using these for the ceremony centerpieces, so if anyone has any little container with old vintage character they are willing to part ways with, please let us know! We are about half way to the amount we need.



Jars for the candy buffet. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the one that is temporarily holing our potatoes!

Love you all!

To my beautiful ladies and a gent :)

My choice in bridesmaids (and one groomsmen) was simple. I often get the jaw-drop-dear-in-the-headlights look when asked how many bridesmaids I have. It quite entertaining, actually. The fact of the matter is, you have all been a huge part of my life and I can't imagine going through my wedding day without you.

Flowers

I am SO excited that my very good friend, Sasha Tootla, will be helping coordinate the wedding. She has been an absolute lifesaver so far. She helped me find a florist who will be making some amazing flower arrangements! (Yes, I changed my mind on the feathers.... surprised?!)

My bouquet (The girls will have mini versions of these!)


For the boys :)


Corsages

My favorite part :)

Brandon and I were able to drive to New Buffalo last night to taste test food for the wedding. Let me tell you...it was well worth the drive. Danielle is the owner of "Maison Cuisine" and proudly uses fresh organic vegetables and meats from local farmers. She even drives to Chicago the day of the wedding to pick up fresh baked breads from a local bakery! Two words: Pretzel Bun.

Some insider info: Danielle also makes everything fresh on site. Appetizers will include a cheese plate, fresh guacamole, a (to die for) mango salsa and homemade hummus.

This makes me SO hungry!

Table Settings!

I am SO excited about these! Brandon and I have been collecting random jars for a long time to use for our centerpieces. We are using a white burlap for the linens ( Now taking volunteers to help cut enough for 40 tables :) and having wood slices cut as the base to the centerpieces.

We also received our Verterra plates which I LOVE. Frank loves them too...I now have 247 thanks to him :)



Yes, I'm a dork and wanted to see what food looked like on the plates :)

Makin' some letters.

So here is a project that turned a bit messy. These are for the back of our chairs. One will be yellow polka dot, the other a flower pattern. Thanks to Frank, he decided to take a nice chunk out of the letter "B", so I never got to finish...but had fun practicing.

I love packages!

I have a sick obsession with packages lately! I love getting them so much that I strategically order things so that I get them everyday :)

We LOVE our bambu dinnerware! We also bought some amazing Verterra plates...to come in a later post! "Enjoy"...oh, I will :)

Flower Girls

Our flower girls are my adorable cousins Corrine and Claire and Brandons niece, Erica. In addition, we have asked my cousin Karle and Brandon's niece, Hannah to do the readings at the ceremony.


Us with the girls at Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs in 3D :)


Hannah and Erica with Uncle B :)

I am SO excited about the girls dresses! My Grandma, the sweetheart that she is, is making all of the girls dresses. I can't wait to see how they turn out!


The fabric!

The little things in life :)

Here are all of the little details I have been collecting the past few months. You will see some of these finished in later posts.

Thank you, Craigslist! I've been trying to find blue mason jars FOREVER and they are super hard to come by. I found a guy on craigslist who sold all 45 of them to me for $40! And, not to mention drove them all the way here from Muskegon!



This awesome antique barrel I got for our cards!



Pinwheels...I have no idea what for yet, but aren't they cute?!



Letters for the back of our chairs :)

The Reception Venue!

As you all know, we moved our venue to Mill Creek Barns in Watervilet,MI. Here are some pictures from when we visited, although the pictures don't do it justice!

The reception area!


The bar area (minus the colored flags)


Where we will get our dance on :)


The bathrooms looking into the reception area. Aren't they cute?!


The firepit...under the snow :)
