So today was quite a productive wedding day!
I had my first dress alterations appointment today, and not too much needs to be done. I had one layer of crinoline removed and the top part is a little big and needs to be taken in. At the next appointment, they'll put my bustle on and hem it. (BTW, I was SHOCKED by the price of alterations! I guess it is my fault for not checking it out first. But, this place came so highly recommended to me, I guess I wasn't worried about the cost at the time. But when she told me my total, my jaw almost hit the floor. Like I said, it wasn't a ton of work that needs to be done. I tried to stay classy as I handed her my credit card, but the inside of me was saying WTF?!?!) Anyway, that is over and I'm paying what they asked, I don't want any blunders on the dress and my friend swears by this place.
Then, I had my hair trial appointment. I LOVED my stylist and my hair. I also got three inches cut off and highlights. I'm so, so happy that I liked it. It'll be half up/half down with the bottom curly.
And, I'm only a few envelopes from being finished addressing the invitations! I decided to handwrite them because I'm horrible with computers and I have nice handwriting. I bought a fancy pen, and started last weekend. It has surprisingly been fun, a good stress reliever after work. They look really good, I think.
FINALLY, my sparklers for our send off came in! Yay! I used VP to make a card that says "Let Love Shine" and I'm attaching one to each sparkler. Here's my question for those of you doing them, how are you displaying them? (They are three feet long- no joke). I'm thinking about a large basket or bucket. Or several vases. Any ideas? (I have 150).
Thanks. Hope you are all having a great weekend!
