ideas for garland

some ideas for garland.. i don't think we need much decoration at the full moon resort as the back ground is super beautiful in itself. But i wouldn't mind having something that was sweet and easily made. I keep coming back to these really cool garlands and trying to think of something that would be easy and yet represent Jameson and myself ... i think i have some ideas but i thought these were mucho cute!

so i was toying around with the idea of maybe drawing something fun for my invitations.
i've been looking at other peoples invitations just to get a feel for what i like and i have to say i really love julia rothman's illustrations.. you can see her textiles @ lovely corporation.

The Place: Full Moon Resort

After finally deciding which which state to have this shin-dig in we didn't have to search very long and hard to find an awesome place. 2 of our good friends have had their weddings here and raved about it. Although i wasn't a guest to either on of these weddings (met them after they were hitched or just before).. it is always super nice to have someone throw you a bone and tell you about a truly amazing place. SO below is a brief description of what Full Moon means to Full Moon. I would have posted my pictures but it was dumping rain that day so they are not the best thing ever, but i do have to add that these pictures do not do it justice.

Full Moon is a year-round mountain resort located in the heart of the "Forever Wild" Catskill Forest Preserve in upstate New York. Dedicated to the celebration of nature, music and the arts, this one hundred-acre wonderland of mountains, fields, and streams is a world of its own.

The Beginning

a mini story to get you up to date with where i am so far along this bridal road..
first.. i got engaged, which makes this whole thing possible.
second.. it was last year.. ha ha we've been very lazy and relaxin this whole time.

• side note my brother got himself hitched to an awesome lady this summer, hence why we were so lazy about getting our ball rolling down the road. (their wedding was lovely and in Hawaii need i say more)

third.. after a year of doing nothing three of our most awesome friends got engaged, which made us speed up a whole lot.
fourth.. we finally this summer got our crap together and started looking for a place..
finally we picked a place and set a date...

oh boy.. it took us a year to do just that. now we have just about a year for this planning stuff and this is going to be an awesome roller coaster of events. I am super excited for all my pals and family to share this with me/us. Now let the geeking out begin!!
