Our Planning Bio
Jessy & Jesse

We met through a mutual friend. Pretty boring, but we have been inseparable ever since! Jesse graduated with his Bachelor's in Business Management and Sales. He is a manufacturer's rep. for his dad's company. They deal mainly with electronics. He absolutely loves his job, which I love because he comes home happy! As for me, I am going to school at Dunwoody for construction project management. I have worked with Veit Companies for the last 4 years and will become a project manager in a year. It's a family business and I love it! In the summers I drive over-sized dump trucks. This past October we bought a condo on Lake Minnetonka at Lakeview Lofts. We love our condo, it's the best decision we have ever made. Oh and we have a puppy, Nico!

Please let me know if I'm using any of your pictures and I will remove them or give them proper credit :)
Attire

This might be the BM dress from David's Bridal.


Here is a flower girl dress that I found at Davids Bridal. It actually matches the detail of my dress pretty well and the satin is the same color of my dress.


Here is THE dress!! Pronovias "Deimos"


I will be doing something similar to this with my dress instead of a veil.


Here is a pic of my shoes under my dress....a perfect match!.


Here is another pic of my shoes!


Here are my earrings from etsy seller "Bridalb"


I'll be wearing these shoes to the rehearsal dinner.

Flowers and Centerpieces

For my bouquet I want to use peonies, both fully opened and half opened, and hydrangeas. I want them to be in ivory with a hint of yellow like in this pic.

The girl's bouquets will be peony, hydrangea, and rose.

We will be doing something similiar to this for 1/3 of our tables.


We will be using pearls in square vases like this but the pearls are bigger and different sizes. The flowers will be black and white.

Here is another pic of cylinder vases that I like.
Inspiration

This is my inspiration board thanks to knottie "ChrissyMarie"



Rings

Here is an online pic of my ring but my center stone is a cushion cut. I'm sooo in love with my ring. It was the first one I tried on with FI and nothing else compared to it...anywhere! FI picked out the center stone and surprised me!

Here is a pic of my ring but it was kinda dark in my place. I'll try to take a better one later.

Here is a pic of my e-ring with the wedding band. Love it!

Hair Inspirations

I want to wear some fake flowers like these in my hair since I won't be wearing a veil.

This is how I want my hair done.

This is how I want my bun to look.

The Wedding Party

Here is a pic of my sisters and I. Tabitha, far left, is a bridesmaid and Tara, far right, is my MOH. LOVE THEM!


Here is my FSIL, Sarah, who will be a bridesmaid.


Here is Charlie (groomsmen), Jesse, and Joe (groomsmen). They have all been friends for a really long time!



Cake Ideas

I love this cake! I'd like to do something similiar....same color frosting, shape, number of tiers...just no flowers and have strings of pearls randomly hanging for the cake.


I like this cake too. I'd probably do it in white with the black swirls and have thick light yellow ribbon instead of the black and no fresh flowers on the cake.
