October 2013 Weddings

Check, check and check!

My fiance and I finally completed our registry today and Bed Bath & Beyond and Pottery Barn.

Last weekend my bridesmaids ordered the dresses.  It was our first trip out...all 6 of my girls were actually available on the same day....and we all found a dress we LOVE within an hour!  It was too good to be true lol.  (http://www.billlevkoff.com/style/bridesmaid-dress/334)

AND we finally ordered Save the Dates and are in the process of finalizing our guest list.

Thing are moving right along!  The next big thing I have to do is pick a florist.  I'll probably do that at the end of the month or in April.  I'm leaving in a week for a business trip and I'll be gone for 7 days.  I'll handle flowers AFTER that haha.

Hows everyone else doing???  I've been a little MIA (super busy at work prepping for our big conference in Austin, TX).

  • Love the BM dresses! They are very similar to the dresses my girls chose, also by Bill Levkoff:

    What color did you choose? Ours will be the aqua that is shown in the sample. 

    Very pretty!

  • Love that dress too!
    We went with "cranberry" which I think is what's shown in the sample.

  • This weekend wasn't too productive for me, I was sick and then I had a baby shower on Sunday.  After the shower however, I did start to spray paint some of my lanterns that are being used for the centerpieces.  I have many lanterns and some of them that I had ordered were black and I really want them white.  It was actually a nice day out for a change so I decided to get some fresh air and paint a couple.  So far so good!

    FI and I are going tomorrow to get our passports finally.  We already booked the honeymoon so passports would be a good idea at this point.  I also setup a hair and makeup trial for the 30th with a salon that I am thinking about booking.  I want to have the trial done first before I commit to them, just in case!

    <div>Nice!

    </div><div>I would suggest getting the passports as soon as possible. They will come in time, but you'll just have peace of mind once that is done.  I had to wait in a long line one day and fill out a lot of paperwork, and had my photo taken at the passport center. Then, about 2 - 3 months later, my passport arrived in the mail.</div><div>
    </div><div>I went on a cruise to Bermuda and needed the passport, but also chose to get a passport card.  It looks like a license and although does not have all the power of a real passport, it can be used for cruises and as another form of identification. When you go to do the passport, look into it and see if that is something you could use as well. I figured I was there anyway, why not get the passport card too. (And I think you can travel to Canada/Mexico???? with just the passport card. However, you will not be able to fly with it. Again, I could be wrong, but I *think* that is it.)</div><div>
    </div><div>As we boarded the ship each time in Bermuda (leaving Bermuda and getting back on the ship) we needed to show ID - that did not have to be our passport, but could have been a license or passport card. It was helpful. (It is also waterproof and made me feel better to NOT carry my real passport all around Bermuda and on beaches and whatnot. Still gave me ID to carry on me.)</div>

  • Wow! I need to start checking things off my list!! You just motivated me to register this weekend!  Hopefully Saturday, as I don't think FI will want to spend St. Patrick's Day doing this!
