It’s been over 4+ months since we have been married and I finally ordered our wedding albums. I ended up ordering my bridal shower, honeymoon and engagement photo books from shutterfly.com. These books were fun and easy to create. I was satisfied with the quality and though they were appropriate “photo” books but not album quality. For the wedding album I wanted something more similar to my photographer’s album but without the hefty price tag. After reading a lot of reviews from different sites I decided to try mypublisher.com I really liked their easy to use software and the page layouts. You had the option to use words etc similar to shutterfly but I chose not to.

I also like the options for the different covers, they offered a picture cover or leather and the lay flat pages. I also really liked that the album could contain over 200 pages. The only negative is they are on the pricier side as compared to shutterly. Since I needed 3 albumns I waited until they had a sale of 60% off photo book before purchasing. After receiving my albums I must say I am really pleased with the quality.

The pages are scratch resistant, have a gloss and the layouts are beautiful. Overall I love the albums and I can’t wait to give them to our parents this weekend while I am down in Florida.

Here is a picture of the different albums, in the first picture the three on the left are shutterfly albums. The shutterfly albums are glossy and the mypublisher album is matte finish.

After the wedding I disappeared, so instead of blogging here are some pics from the wedding events leading up to the wedding!

Our Rehearsal Dinner

My B- Party!!

 
I woke up around 5am today and got right to work on my projects. We finished all of our final DIY projects, the candy bar bags, candy bar tags for the jars, finished folding all the programs, finished the rehearsal dinner menus and finished some honeymoon shopping for the Mr.Our to do list is DONE!! In 7 days it will be official. I am so excited! 
 
Today we received our first wedding gift in the mail! It was completely unexpected. 14 days to go!!!
 
We got our marriage license!!
 
Had my trial this week, not quite sure how I feel about it. I'm thinking of going with a more "natural" look. Its funny how you have an idea in your head and then once you see it you realize it was for someone else. Well that's how my make up went. I think I may need a second trial the week of the wedding...
 
My honeymoon stash is growing, I seriously have to stop buying stuff. 32 days to go!!! I still need some sunglasses and a new sun hat!
 
“One shoe can change your life.”
-Cinderella

This statement is so true. Prior to wedding shoe shopping Kate and I had not been introduced, but when we met it was love at first sight. It was almost as if she design the shoe just for me. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love things to sparkle and oh how I love bows. In fact Sparkly is my favorite color. Pretty little sparkly bows it was truly LOVE......until I saw the price tag. 325.00 the most expensive shoe I have ever bought was 110 dollars on sale. So how could I ever justify 325 dollars...the sad thing is I can't. ::sigh:: Oh well a girl can dream can't she. Meet my first shoe love...
