in the garden by the barn, that's where it'll be.

Today was such a wedding planning day. I met with my dress designer and finalized the design. The muslin fitting is on Saturday and I know it will be long and tedious, but I'm very much looking forward to it. I mean, this process is exactly the kind of thing that thrills me to no end. Pattern making and measurement taking, good grief that sounds like fun. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly with this dress...I'm certain it will, but I'm sure to have a few anxiety dreams about it anyway.

The RSVPs keep floating in and since we used a postcard with room for each guest to write a few lines, lots of sweet and funny notes from friends and family make it even more exciting to get them returned to us.
Our invites are very simple, unlike our engagement announcement. I made a pact with myself (and Dustin) that we would keep every thing very relaxed. He is still getting over all the gluing and x-acto wielding from the announcements...and frankly, so am I.
So, here they are. I drew the design, did a little photoshop magic and then goccoed each and every invitation, rsvp and envelope. It was quite a little printing press around our living room for a few days. I had so much help from my sweet friend Aimee she deserves an award. She will get her shadowbox, and that's a promise (thanks for being so patient, lady).

Okay, I'm off to get some Korean food with friends.

More soon,
leya

love these. you should consider putting a stationary line in your shop. the pen and ink drawings you do would be great for that.
