- Went to that bridal show on Sunday and got some info about florists
- Made 1 appointment with a florist.. that I might actually cancel though... I didn't love their bouquets they displayed and that's really all I'd be paying for, along with boutiniers because my planner is doing my centerpieces
- Met with my planner at the reception site to see what the lighting would look like (she's doing those flood light things on the wall in orange) and get floor plans
- Started looking at decorations for the ceremony/reception with my planner (somehow I always like the more expensive option more in look, so now I have to decide are people even going to notice for example the plastic chairs versus wooden ones during the ceremony when they cost double)
- Mailing out my Save the Dates TODAY! I went to do them yesterday and realized I was missing the top one, so I got panicky and needed to triple check that I had them all... it turns out that top one was left on the table... oops
- I'm attempting to make my cake topper, so I'm tried that a little bit... If I don't like how it comes out I'll buy it (but the one I want is like $200...). It's little figurines of me, FI, and our dog in polymer clay.
- Also started working on my headpiece (basically a beaded ribbon that will match the design of my dress). I'm making it myself, and I realized I had pearl beads in the wrong size, and stores don't sell any smaller so I had to order some online. Hopefully they'll come in the next week so I can start on that again.
- Started my bridesmaids necklaes... also making myself (yes, I am insane...). They're coming out OK, but I need to go to the craft store for one more thing to add to the necklace.
- I started a wedding blog a year ago and made all of... like 2 posts, so I whipped up another post about bridal shows.
Hopefully this week I will continue with that trend...
- Still on a search for shoes, but to no avail. I went to about 5 stores in the last week... I think I'm going to take a break on this because I'm just getting frustrated that I'm not srue what I'm looking for... but either way I'm not finding anything I love.
What have you ladies been up to with your planning?
