So anyone that knows me well knows that myself and my fiance are avid hunters. Fiance really wants to have a full camo themed wedding but I said no way! I will try to have things that he likes though, and am looking at a more vintage/rustic/country theme. The pretty whimsical style for me, and the rustic touches for him that are as close to camouflage as I would possibly allow (not very close at all!).

When we were talking about our wedding bands, my fiance suggested camo ones. At first I thought how grosse and tacky, but once I looked I actually really took a liking to the pink girly ones. They are a bit different, and really appeal to my split personality when it comes to things I like. I love hunting and the outdoors, but I also love girly things and particularly the colour pink. I’m looking at the first pink camo ring with sapphire here on Camo Wedding Guide.com.

We definitely had to go online to get the camo rings – I guess they’re not popular enough yet to be in all the jewelry stores. Though I thought with Mama June’s wedding earlier this year that the full on camo theme would be more popular and hence there’d be more rings. Just to be clear – my wedding will be NOTHING like Mama June’s haha.

I found this great video on Youtube with some inspiration for the rustic wedding – this is nearly exactly the style I had in mind and the small touches I would like to have.

I confess – I am a total Pinterest addict! I started using it about 2 years ago now, and have been using it on and off since then. With the wedding planning, I’ve been using it an awful lot lately. I’ve come across a heap of awesome hair and makeup tutorials – they’re really great inspiratin to try something different with my look for once.

This is one of my favourite makeup boards – it’s full of eyeshadow tutorials showing you exactly how to achieve the look on your own.

Here’s to a refreshed hair, beauty and cosmetic routine thanks to Pinterest!

And here’s a good tutorial I found on Youtube:

If you’ve ever planned a wedding, I’m sure you can relate to the fact that for the year or however long you have leading up to the big day, wedding planning pretty much consumes your life. I personally quite enjoy it, mostly collecting all the pretty images for ideas and inspiration. Pinterest has definitely become by best friend for collecting all these images and discovering new wedding sites.

Now I do have a maid of honor, and the MOH would normally help out with lots of the organisation, particularly for the bridesmaids. But my MOH is even busier than I am at the moment, she studies as well as working full time so I completely understand that she doesn’t have time on her hands to help out much. We actually started talking about speeches for the reception the other night, neither of us are much good at public speaking. I guess it’s also not right for me to help her out with her maid of honor toast, I just want her to say what comes from the heart. I did point her in the direction of the-maid-of-honor.com for some help with it. Hopefully she’ll get some inspiration for the bachelorette party there too!

Speaking of writing, I’m starting to think about my vows. We’ve decided to write our own, and while I know the sorts of things I want to say and exactly how I feel, it’s really difficult to put it all down onto paper. Oh and I know I’ll cry when I say them, I can’t help it! I’m getting so excited just thinking about being at the altar!

I can promise you there’ll be lots more posts here about my wedding, as I said, it really is consuming my life at the moment. Off I go back to Pinterest for more beautiful images <3
