XP : So many checks I dont know what to do with myself!!

I had to repost this in a more active subforum than my local one, lol :D

Woohooo!!! 

I took off work yesterday so I could finalize everything. Linens, centerpieces, bridal party flowers, cake, ceremony, cocktail hour, everything! ! The only thing we have left to choose is our food and we will speak with the DJ 2 weeks before to give our music. I am going to do up lighting, and pin lighting which will enhance the centerpieces.

I switched our favors for gold chargers. I also switched the flower arrangements for the ceremony and opted to put flowers on our chuppah, and we will use 4 of our centerpieces to line the isle.

I will have white or ivory chair covers on the chairs for the ceremony, and even though I really like the glitter table numbers, Im just going to save the time / $100 that it would cost me and just use the white ones that they provide free of charge.

 But holy shit there's a huge weight that's been lifted off my shoulders! 

I also chose our guest book, champagne flutes, and garter.The other things that I still need to get are my jewelry, kettubah, 4 cylinder vases and some floating candles for our sweetheart table. Crystal garland for my centerpiece and kettubah flowers.

 Then I went to the Hyatt Recency in Coral Gables and looked at their suites so that I would be able to see if there was enough room for my ladies and myself to get ready in. Was definetely large enough! I also discovered that I could use the promotion code that I am giving to our guests for blocked rooms, so I can get an additional $100 off!

I know our wedding is not until August, but I really wanted to get the majority of the things done so I dont have to miss time from work. In May a lot of things are happening, my dress comes in, our engagement shoot, the bridesmaid dresses come in and that when we will choose the food too. 

Feels great!!!

  • The past two weeks have been like that for me too (my wedding is June).  Groom got suits ordered (he bought new suits for him, groomsmen, and FOB), we ordered both wedding bands, finalized pre & post wedding hotel reservations, bought flower girl dress, picked my wedding jewelry, ordered sash for my dress & flower girl, decided on flowers, finished printing my invites (should have them assembled this weekend), decided on favors, decided on parent gifts.  It's like everything just fell into place all of a sudden. Most of these are things we were undecided about or hadn't even started looking into and the right choices just popped up in front of us. Earlier today it hit me that most of the planning is done now and I can finally picture what the end result will be, which made it all seem more real. It's a very giddy feeling. I think it was the first time I really had that, "OMG, I'm getting married!" feeling.
