So many choices, so many pretty paper choices I was overwhelmed, but love my purple theme which I tell my fiance it's "amythest" to quell his color craziness!
I found great envelope liners in a multi stripe tones and really great modern fonts on the invites. We skipped the save the dates since most everyone is in the Chicago area and used those $$ get menu cards and pretty table numbers.

I ripped out a Jenny Yoo ad out of a magazine and it was the start of my inspiration wedding board. Their dresses are beautifully made, designed and the colors are amazing. The staff at their Chicago store is really nice, helpful and patient.
I'm so happy, my attendants are happy and everyone looks gorgeous in them!

Attention ladies...I now know more about wedding shoes than I ever imagined and researched them to death (well almost!) Anyways, I finally found them and paid less than I anticipated which hardly ever happens to me. These people really know how to fit and the best shoes for nearly every foot style. I visited the store a few times before purchasing and wound up finding some pretty earrings for my bridesmaids ( purply raisin colored Swarovski crystals from Meg Jewelry) and a pair for my Mom as a gift. Warning; you can spend a lot of time looking at all the eye candy here, so it may be difficult to focus on your first visit!
