Whenever I'm asked how wedding plans are coming, I keep telling people we're almost done... but I keep thinking that can't possibly be right! We have our ceremony site, reception site, DJ, all the dresses are ordered, tuxes picked out.... oh and we have a photographer now! I'm so excited. So we're working on bouquets, invitations, and the veil.... I keep checking my theknot and onewed checklists to make sure I'm not somehow missing something. It turns out wedding planning is somehow much easier than everyone makes it sound.
We're working on getting hair and makeup appointments set for the wedding day. It sounds like we're all going to take over Salon Georgette for a few hours. Should be very fun!
....I wrote the above in April, but I never finished the post! I actually don't think I posted anything at all in April.... I've been a bad blogging bride! Really, though, I was so busy with finishing the semester that hardly any wedding planning has been taking place at all.
But now, with Anthony off doing army training for the next three weeks and classes over, it's time to get back into the wedding planning! First thing on the list: My Wedding Dress! At 5 today I have an appointment to go try on my dress... SO excited! I even have my shoes, so we can figure out if any hemming work needs to be done. (Of course, with the bottom of my dress being as gorgeous as it is, hemming isn't really the right word... it needs to be "taken up," I suppose?
So we've got less than 4 months to go now... I think my countdown at One Wed said 118 days or something insane like that today. Wow! My goal is to finish all the roses and hopefully whole bouquets by the time Anthony gets back... we'll see! We're also busy working on invites... I'm planning on a pocketfold invite with a fabric outside, so my mom and I have been ordering swatches of fabric so we can get started on that.
Today I spent quite a bit of time trying to find creative, unique, non-floral centerpieces that I loved. I saw a few interesting things (I'll try to post links later) but I think I've merged a couple ideas into something I'm really excited about. I'm going to shop around Ikea & a garden store and then I'll post some updates... Ever have the feeling if you share too much about something you're excited about, you won't like the idea as much anymore? I'll keep this one to myself for now and we'll see what happens.
I was hoping that Anthony and I could get our engagement pictures done soon, but I missed the boat on that one, since now he's gone for most of May! I feel like I've been terrible at communicating with our photographer (Sorry Amy!!)... every time she e-mails me it takes me weeks to respond since I talk it over with Anthony and then we try to figure things out... ugh. But hopefully I'll get something set up for when he's home. We still need to decide on exactly what we're wearing! For half he'll wear his uniform (swoon!) and I have a dress, but I also want pictures in jeans and something more casual... we'll have to figure it out!
It feels great to be excited about wedding stuff again! Not that I wasn't excited before, but I just had so much on my plate that wedding stuff had to be pushed to the side. But now it's all wedding all the time! <3
Edited to add: Apparently this post is now under the day I started writing it, instead of today, May 1st! Oh well!
