5 weeks out and so much stress...but it's handled!

what a stressful week!!! But after all the stress and hassle I am finally truly happy and calm. 

If you remember my post about firing someone who you hadn't actually signed a contract with but was a good friend, here is the full story. (this is the culmination of the story about the decorator who didn't like out vision and changed things for us etc)

We had a decorator and decoration plans for months now and 5 weeks out we hadnt signed the contract because the lady kept putting up excuses and pushing things for x, y, reasons. I had a breakdown on Sunday because she had told me she would call me and have some changes quoted for me by Friday or Saturday and she hadn't sent them so I hadn't called her. 

Well I messaged her on Sunday to meet up and talk about those things and she couldn't because she had plans and I hadnt called her soon enough. "Sorry we will reschedule, organize yourself and let me know" I started crying and raging and called another woman I had talked to over a year ago and lo and behold she was available for out date 5 weeks from Sunday! 

so we sent her some changes to the decor and we hired her for decoration and coordination for just $100 more than we would've paid the other lady for decor of her vision not ours. 

Now we have issues with the DJ but we are dealing with it. She (the first decor lady) had made the contact for us but she didn't give us his phone or email or anything. So we have yet to give him the signed contract so I am looking elsewhere for a new DJ and possibly for cheaper. 

Even though it was a rough couple of days I am happy that things will look very pretty simple and elegant and my mom and me won't have to worry about anything but enjoying the wedding day. 

Attached is a pic of what the decor will look like (with 2 instead of 3 flower arrangements) and I am very pleased, happy, and excited.

    I will never understand people who act crazy when you (general you) try to give them money.  

    I'm so glad everything worked out! :)

    ETA: the decorations are so pretty!!! :)

    I'm glad you're working it all out. Hopefully talking to the friend decorator will go well.

    And your decorations are so pretty! Yay for getting what you actually want.

  • Beautiful! I had similar visions for my wedding. Came out beautifully, and yours no doubt will too! I'm glad it all worked out in the end.

    This baby knows exactly how I feel
  • thanks ladies! I could've saved myself a headache or two a few months ago when wonderful knotties gave some advise to boot the original decorator. Since so many favors were being made and I am a nice (sometimes naive) person I tried to work things out with her. 

    Although I was stressed out things worked out so I am happy now. And thank you I am super excited to see everything play out!
