The blog is having a makeover! Stay tuned!
My name is Belle & this is my blog.
I love my fiancé, Rick, and we love our bulldog, Rigby. Our house, is a home. I like taking photos. I like dressing up. I have the travel bug. I spend most of my money on books, polaroids and diet coke. I really do believe love makes the world go round.
(A new dress here or there helps too.)
This year, Rick and I have jumped right into Wedding planning. We have possibly found our venue, I’ve got a few deadlines set in regards to my Wedding dress, we’ve started our designs for invites and favours, celebrant & photographer are sorted, and I’m spending a lot of my spare time researching and putting together our ideas for our special day so they can become reality.
I kind of loving Wedding planning. But maybe that’s because I love my future husband so much?
Right now, I am hoping on a plane to Sydney (actually I might have even departed by now, my flight is supposed to leave at 8.00am but who knows with Qantas).
I’m only going to be away for a few days - I’m home on Monday, but I’m pretty excited regardless. I have a super busy weekend;
Thursday: I arrive in Sydney just after lunch. By the time I get to my hotel, settle in, and then meet up with Jess, Stuart & Tornado Tiah (who are also having a mini getaway to Sydney!), I can’t imagine I’ll be doing much else.
Friday: Meet & greet with Kristine & Kevin, and a visit to the Country Club. And hopefully some shopping. Also, I really am hanging out to take a trillion photos of Tiah being adorable around Sydney. And then a delicious dinner somewhere! And thennnnnnn…
Saturday: WEDDING! My first, very own Wedding photographer job. I’ve done a few Weddings now, but as second shooter, not by myself. And not as a photographer with a business. It’s exciting and scary and… real. I might actually one day make a career out of my passion for photography. Man I hope so!
Sunday: Okay. I am going to admit it. I’m excited/nervous for Saturday. But Sunday means Harry Potter Exhibition. I am just plain flippin excited for Sunday. And I just don’t think I can contain my nerdy excitement either. The Harry Potter Exhibition. I might cry. Or wet myself. (Yes, if you haven’t noticed by now, I’m that kind of HP fan.) If Jessica let me I would totally be dressing up as Hermione.*
Monday: Early flight home with Jess & co, to my beautiful bulldog, and Christmas ready home.
You guys. YOU. GUYS. I am so nervous. And excited. And pumped!
Wish me luck.
*I wouldn’t actually dress up. I’m not that kind of fan.
It’s nearly been a whole year since this boy proposed to me. I can’t believe how quickly it’s gone, or that very soon I will be able to say “I get married in 12 months!” …before I know it I’ll be Mrs Lavers.
Woah!
(In a good “woah” way of course!)
Pinterest is actually the greatest thing ever when you’re looking for inspiration or ideas.
Just some of my favourite Wedding picks this week.
Have you guys signed up yet? Get on it if you haven’t!
We aren’t sending out Save the Dates until later next year (even being the crazy organised freak that I tend to be - I know it’s wayyy too early for that!), but when this arrived in my inbox I couldn’t help but share it with you guys.
What you’re actually looking at is a stamp, that has been made for Rick and I. (I love thoughtful surprise presents.) I do realise it’s for envelopes, but when this goodie arrives, I plan on stamping every piece of paper I come across.
Rick and I happily crossed off the two things on our “Wedding To Do List” for the year (setting the date and finding the perfect reception venue - check and check!), and even though it’s over 18 months away, I think it’s worth making a fuss over.
Plus it’s rude not to use someones gift, right?
I’m really excited for our future :)
