Ribbons and Tulle, and Tins Oh My!

This past weekend Brandi came over for the weekend so we could go to GASC and she also offered to help with wedding favors.

We got tons done!

The centerpiece is just a prototype. I've got it figured out (and have floral tape that's not white!) I just need to get more of the colored pebble things.

The dress is in the house

Thursday I went to Becker's for my final fitting and to hopefully take the dress home. They got it out for me and I got to try it on again. The alterations were great and it just needed a touch more work up top.

They said that if I could hang out for a bit they'd try and get the final work done while I waited. No problems here. I had all day.

I did some shopping while waiting and picked up my earrings and garter. I'm now completely outfitted :)

About 30 or so minutes later they brought my dress back and asked me to try it on again. Like you need to ask twice. Got my dress back on and it's now perfect!

They pressed it again and put it in a garment bag for me and off I went.

It's now hanging in the closet waiting for the 23rd of August.

Hooray for Google

Once again Google has saved the day.

I've been looking for inexpensive, not disposable white tablecloths for the reception. Several searches proved that they were way too expensive. Tonight I dug deeper into Google and found a place that had a great deal on them.

I've been obsessing about tablecloths for a few weeks and am so glad that this is out of the way. I'll breath a big sigh of relief when they are delivered :)

Wedding things

I'm finally settled on colors.

I have been changing my mind on colors several times in the last month or so. Jim has jokingly asked me what are this weeks colors? :)

I'm finally set on black and aqua with silver as an accent. Since I agreed to not have a pink Barbie wedding the flowers will be pink and white and maybe some yellow gerber daisies.

Melissa and Heidi have helped me find some cute bridesmaid dresses. The dresses will be black with an aqua sash or ribbon.

I ordered some samples of invitations and can't wait for them to come in! They have daisies on them and they look great in the catalog and online but I'll know for sure when I hold them.

Oh, I mailed back a check and the rental agreement for the reception site today. I feel like things are slowly starting to come together.
