Besides all of that, Mike and I have set up tons of appointments with vendors and our venues to discuss details of the wedding while we'll be in Massachusetts in March. We aren't in Mass very often so when we are we have to get as much done as we can while we're there. We have appointments with our florist, our wedding consultant, and our videographer. We also have our taste testing while we're home and our co-ed bridal shower known as a jack and jill while we're home in March. Did I also mention is my birthday while we're in Mass? lol. It is going to be one jam packed week! I can't wait :)

Hair and Make-up ideas?
So I have been browsing wedding blogs looking for inspiration for my wedding day make-up and hair style. I really like a pulled back loose look. A low bun with some body to the look. I have also thought about wearing my hair down with some pull back like some pictures above, but my dress I think would look better with my hair up.
As far as make-up, i really love a soft feminine look. I love Carrie Underwood and Hayden Panetierre's make-up in the above pictures.
What do you all think? :)
DIY Projects
Over the past few weeks I have been attempting to get some DIY projects done for the wedding. I figured that when we start classes in January, I won't have much time to get things done so might as well accomplish as many as I can now. I went to Jo Ann Fabrics to pick up some supplies for my DIY projects.
The first project I worked on was VIP seating signs for the ceremony. I just wanted to do something simple so we'll have those for our family for the ceremony. All I did was buy card stock in both blue and orange and some ribbon. Then I typed out the "reserved for.." part glue them together and poked hole through the corners and strung the ribbon through. There's some pictures below.
I also wanted to have "Mr." and "Mrs." sign for our seats. I've seen them in a lot of weddings I found on wedding websites and they make for great picture opportunities. A picture is below.
I also designed some reading cards for those who will be doing the readings at our wedding. I may re-do these. I am not too sure about how they look. I want the to look a little more professionally done.
I also wanted to make some cute shirts for my bridesmaids to wear while we're getting ready the day of the wedding. I bought plain pink tanks from old navy and some fabric paint from JoAnn fabric. Each shirt says "bridesmaid" on it and for my sisters' shirts theirs says "bridesmaid..Matron of honor" and "bridesmaid..maid of honor". There is also a flower on each shirt in place of the dot on the letter "i" in bridesmaid. I pretty happy with how they turned out!
Some pictures are below.
I also made a shirt for myself to wear when getting ready. It says "soon to be mrs. lindquist" on it. A picture is below.

On a side note, Mike and I have decorated our apartment for the holidays. First christmas while living together! It has been so much fun decorating and listening to christmas music :). I really love this time of year! It just makes me think of what's most important and how lucky I am to have the life I have. Happy holidays everyone! :)
