- I had my second (and hopefully final) dress fitting. I just needed it taken in a bit more in the hips/stomach area so it fits nice and snug there.
- I ordered the ribbon for my sash. It only cost me $1.70 + shipping! Here's the bling I'll be adding to it:
- I finally made up my mind about our ceremony decorations. I was having a hard time figuring out how to pull everything together, but I think I came up with a good game plan that solves a lot of problems! I ordered these kissing balls from afloral (it was WAY cheaper to buy them then try to make them myself...also saves me a TON of time! lol):
I'll change out the ribbon for some navy satin ribbon I have, and maybe add a peacock feather at the top (where the ribbon attaches to the ball). These will hang from the end of the aisle (I'm ditching the lanterns I bought and reselling them ASAP). Lining the floor of the aisle, I'll be using these luminaries I'm DIYing:
For the reception, the pomanders will go on top of the luminaries for half of the tables (with glass stem candle holders). The other half will have the manzanita centerpieces I made.
- I ordered our cupcake stand and these bird cages (to use for cards):
- I made my birdcage veil last night! I have to make the other part of my headpiece, so when that's done I'll take a picture of both together for all you ladies to see.
Phew, that's a lot of PIP! I'm so happy I got all this stuff ordered...once these packages come in, I will FINALLY have all the materials to finish my DIY projects! Hurray!
