July 2012 Weddings

More checks!

Picked my florist today! My BM dresses are wisteria and I reallly didn't want o do just different shades of purple, so we're also adding pale apricot roses. I wasn't even thinking about it until my mom told the florist,"I figured as much-her favorite colors all her life were purple and orange!" 

We also picked our invitations, haven't ordered them just yet, but at least we know what we want!

Now, all that is left is deciding about limos...any advice there? I live 5 minutes from the church, FI will be 1/2 hour from church, then reception is 10 minutes from church. It just seems like a lot of money for a grand total of maybe an hour and half of having the llimos. But I do like the idea of riding to reception with the WP. Wondering if I should get one limo for the guys to take to church then we all take to reception?

...and we also need to buy WP gifts and favors (although we're pretty sure we're doing for both).

Oh, and decide on a honeymoon!

Re: More checks!

  • Congrats on the flowers! That was the hardest part for me.  As for transportation, I don't think I'm any help because I haven't really decided on ours yet either.  I'm in the same boat as you in that it is a lot of money for not using it a whole lot.

    We are still working on WP gifts. I think we are going to get the groomsmen a cooler that doubles as a chair that will already be stocked with their favorite alcohol.  BMs I'm still having a little bit of an issue with, but I'm sure it will come together.

    Favors we weren't going to do, but my mom really loved the idea of a photo booth so I said okay to that so that kind of counts as a favor.  I'm trying to find little magnetic frames for the photos so they have something to put the photos in instead of them just getting lost.
  • Hey Meagan, now's your chance!
  • Congrats! Sounds like you are getting quite a few checks done.

    As far as favors go, I want to try to make cake pops, and if they come out, that'll be our favors. Anyone make them or use them as favors? Bride will be red velvet, groom chocolate, and the ribbons will be purple  to match our colors:

    As far as the limo goes, if it's in your budget to get the limo, go for it.  If not though, it's not that important that everybody rides together. Great job on the other checks!  Do you have pictures of the BM dresses?

    Okay well Meagan isn't around and I got balls just like her so I'll do it......

    Good for you but  Umm who are you and why do we care that you got "checks" done if you rarely post here?
    . Anniversary aandt image
  • LOL! Oh, gotcha...I guess I lurk here more than posting although I feel like there is more support here than on the other boards I've posted on recently! (attire, and WP...)

    AllyG, thank you for your post!
    Here is all the attire:

    My dress, I am adding straps:

    BM dresses in wisteria and tea-length:

    Guys tuxs:
    I know it's a no-no to wear tuxs in the afetrnoon, but FI wants to and I like these! I think it looks classy, simple and casual, and goes with the BP in the formality sense. The guys will wear wisteria vests/ties and FI will wear gray vests/ties. His boutonniere will most likely have purple in it to tie him together with the color theme. 

    So excited to have these details done! What do you fellow July brides think of our attire choices?
    ~ES~
  • I think you have a gorgeous dress, beautiful choice.
    . Anniversary aandt image
  • love the dress - congrats!! it is beautiful.  i am also having one shoulder strap added to my dress (people tell me i am crazy but i truly, honestly am not comfortable in strapless dresses, even if it fits me well). 

    I do not think there is any problem with wearing tuxes in the afternoon.  my fiance and his guys are wearing tuxes and our wedding ceremony is at 2:30. I am not worried about it at all.

    OK, I see what the whole "Meagan" comments are all about. Sorry, I didn't realize some of my previous posts have disappeared. Whem I 1st joined, I introduced myself and also commented on some threads, long before I added any checks. I don't generally "watch" threads but it appears many of my posts don't exist. Never intended to boast about "checks" just felt this was the appropriate board to share what I have gotten done and see how far along other July brides are, as well as what different things your July weddings consist of. :-) 

    Strapless dresses look weird on me, on  top of me not being comfortable! I think I'm shallow in the torso or something because that dress looks like it has a bunch of room on other people, but on me, the top is like 3" from the top of my shoulder! Straps make it look just right.

    Congrats on the dress! I love it. And adding straps is a great idea - you'll be more comfortable that way.

    Also, our GM and my fiance are wearing tuxes. Our ceremony is at 3pm. I'm not concerned about it, either. Do what you want! It'll look lovely, for sure.

    Sorry for LOLing at your expense. Thank you for not taking it too seriously :)

  • I love the tux choices!  It looks sharp without being overly evening formal looking.  Pretty dress, too.
    Wedding Countdown Ticker weddingpreview
  • So glad to see more brides are doing tuxs for afternoon weddings! Not that it would've changed our minds if you all said,"OMG what are you THINKING?!" but nice to know we're not crazy! 

    I think I am an abnormal bride because the only thing I was stressed over was picking attire and flowers. Now that that is done, I feel like there's no stress! Maybe as the date draws closer, my tune will change, but it just seems like another party event to me! So excited!
