DIY Boutonniere's and Makeup Trial!

I also forgot to mention that this month I finished making all of the groomsmen's bout's! And they look pretty darn good, if I do say so myself. :)

And I had my makeup trial done at Avissa Salon by Kristin...and it looks pretty fabulous as well! :) (also, we are going to go a bit darker on the eyes and lips, fyi!)

3 MONTHS!!!

We are coming down to the wire here people!

It feels like it is so far away...but it's not! Only 89 days til the wedding....

andddddddd 67 days til I GRADUATE!!! 

And right now that is my main goal!! haha!

I seriously need to see that light at the end of the tunnel because right now, in the middle of these midterms, things are always SO bleak. So graduation is just my top priority! 

Yet, even with exams lurking around every corner, I still managed to find time to wedding plan (as a stress reliever lol!)
