Hey Hun... These BMs a trip aint they. LOL.. Love pearls place.. I'm in the same boat with the bm dresses.. 8 out of 9 girls ordered. I called pp and ask them what was the cut off date. they said this week. so we shall see if the last girl orders. I'm not gone hunt her down tho..

What was wrong with the centerpieces?? Hopefully they don't be all up in your pockets. I hired a decor person.. and she is cutting me a heck of a deal.. Hmm.. thanks for the idea for VS. hope the sale not over..

Hey ladies, I ordered my dress from Pearl's Place

. OH and I need to check on VS too since BM got me a gift card to there and what's better than a sale.

WR:

working on my labor-intensive invitations today and addressing envelopes. Need stamps but have to send FI tomorrow since post office is closed for MLK day.
Met with coordinator/ DOC yesterday to lay out my vision for decor and flowers. Waiting on my quote.
Made a decision on what to do for BM's shoes.
Ordering the little one's dresses in 2 weeks.
Found and booked videographer! Super great check since I was able to find good quality on short notice (2 months out).
Of course, paying off wedding bills (lots of them lol)

fancywright2 · January 2013

WO: slacked last week, but I worked out this morning and will try to do 2x/day for the next 3 months. On a side note, even though I didn't really work out last week, I lost 4 lbs! WR: addressed invitations and will be sending those out this week. Meeting with the harpist on Saturday to pick out ceremony music. Going to pick up FI ring tomorrow and meeting with a MUA for a consultation. Our cruise is booked, but we still haven't bought plane tixs to Puerto Rico! Hopefully prices will drop soon. Either way we have to buy the tixs by March or the ship will be sailing without us.

</div><div>My BMs are really cool and have their stuff together after reminding them. Only one got me a bit upset, but I'm over it and will not let me get to me. </div><div>
</div><div>The centerpieces are baby brethe puffs...I think I would just like to have a professional help with them to make sure I have enough and make sure I can store them in a cool place. I also need 10 of them and they are big...</div>

WO- I worked out with my trainer today. He almost killed me! On the days that I'm not working with my trainer, I am doing a 30 day fitness challege with Mr. Shutupandtrain (fb). Im using Herbalife to help with my eating habits.

WR- Ive finalized my signature drinks. Hopefully I will be able to send my invites out by the end of the week. My dress is finally in and I will go for my first fitting on Friday (Yay!!!!!). I also got my BM jewelry and picked out their shoes!

Dannitra01 · January 2013

I know I'm late, but I'll post anyways

WO: Walked/Ran 2.5 miles Saturday morning, 2 sets of walking squats and lunges. On Sunday I walked 17 blocks in a parade with my dancers (legs on fire!!!) Did nothing Monday, still recovering from the weekend. lol My diet WAS going great until Saturday when FI and I went to a birthday party. The invitation said "Seafood Extravaganza" and of course, I ate like I was about to go to the electric chair. Stewed conch, conch fritters, fried conch, seafood gumbo, fried fish, garlic crabs, boiled shrimp......it was delicious, but it wrecked my diet.

WR: Mailed out my bridesmaids' newsletters with all of the info they need for ordering their dresses and shoe guidelines. Paid a huge chunk towards our venue, replied to the graphic designer about the save the date. Waiting to hear back from her. Had a conference call with my planners about caterers. Still haven't chosen one and I need to make a decision by the end of the month. My planners and florist both follow me on Pinterest so I have been pinning like crazy so that I can give them an idea of the vision that I have for the ceremony and reception spaces.
