Update Update....

So since we have decided to do the civil ceremony we have finally picked a date 10/20/13...

We would go to the courthouse that Friday and have a reception at our clubhouse banquet hall, and it's a very nice hall might I add. We actually had our baby shower there and I'm gonna reduce the guest list down to 75 ppl 80 max (although the hall can hold a little over 125) we should have enough room to dance and have fun...looking forward to planning and getting this all together...

Now, with that being said uhhhh WHAT SHOULD I B DOING NOW????? Lol, I'm completely lost....I guess I need to jump on a guest list and can someone plz tell me What are some good colors for that time of year or should I keep my same colors?
Thanks for any help, advice or suggestions you ladies can make!!!!

Yayy..I'm so happy things are looking up for you ! I hope your happy. I wanted to have an October wedding and wish I would of kept my date..I need that extra time for sho now lol. What are your original colors ?

tirathemrs

I'm very happy, I actually mentioned to him that we do it this way...that way I'm sure we both get what we want....I've already talked to my planner and she's getting on it as we speak... My colors are Magenta, Plum Purple, Silver and various shades of pinks... But now I'm thinking about Ivory, Silver and Burnt Orange...not sure about that though

MrsBad13

That makes me happy that your happy especially because your getting married sooner than you anticipated and don't have to fuss over a venue ! Ha ! I think you could still go with your color scheme. Especially if you darken the pink. I've seen purple and burnt orange together and to me its looks very pretty and vibrant for the fall. If you wanted to keep the purple .

Congrats hun! We're almost wedding day twins. My date is 10/19/13. I say stick with your original colors. They sound beautiful. I went back and forth with fall colors and decided to go with fuchia, black, and silver. But any color you chose im sure it will be beautiful.

Your colors will be beautiful fall. Glad you not going to have the stress of choosing colors. So yes get to dress shopping ASAP. When I order my dress it took 6months for it to comes and its been a month since I went to my 1st fitting and the alterations is not going to be ready for a second fitting until end of this month. So get it on girl !

Let me know how that wrap party goes I have a friend that sells it but I'm skeptical because she couldn't answer all of my questions like I believe it works but for how long?

Tira... Take care of you FIRST and FOREMOST.... you are going to be beautiful whether you lose weight .. or not... hey... if the wrap works.. let me know... an extra pound or two won't hurt me to lose..lol

Yayyy Congrats.. So yes, take a look at your guest list. and i think you can still keep your colors.. I love them. You do not have to change them because of the season.. You know how fall is all dull etc.. brighten it up.. I think it would be lovely.. Okay what about your menu... and cake.. Does the venue come with everything?

keysmit

What about a reception dress? what did you decide about attire?
