Short little update!

Ok so there really is not a whole lot to update on....

Except for the fact that I now officially have four bridesmaids!

My two Maids of Honor were a given, so I didn't really even get the chance to think of a creative way to ask them... I'm sure that they will get a little something creative at some point! ;)

But my cousins were not such a given; especially since one of them has been in Paraguay for a while, and will still be there next september (She is a wonderful person devoting herself and serving in the Peace Corps). So I was thrilled to find out that there was even a small chance of her returning home for the wedding, and wanted to take advantage of her temporary visit (ironically to be in someone else's wedding) to ask her and her sister to take part in our big day.

Keep in mind our theme is apples, apple green, and brown....




My mother picked up these adorable little baskets. Inside was an apple the exact color of our wedding, and a simply tag asking the big question.









I used a "G" off of Word and just traced it with a brown colored pencil onto a sheer green paper. I then layered it over a harder cardstock, and attached it with a brown bow to the stem of the apple.












I then cheated.... I had my mom write on the back of the tag (I have the handwriting of a little boy).

They seemed to appreciate getting more than just a hug and a question. This is really the first DIY that I have done for the wedding so far, and it has me itching to do more!
