Wedding Plans

Wedding plans are coming along, but there is just still so much left to do. So I thought in order to make myself feel less stressed I am going to blog about what I have done, that way I can get some feeling of accomplishment.

I have already had 2 fittings for my dress. It is going to be fabulous. I still have to pick out a veil and shoes, but I thought I could wait since there is still plenty of time to do that. The lady at the bridal boutique said she is going to be getting more veils in so I might as well wait, instead of picking now and regretting later.

I decided that since I am going to be staying at the hotel the night before, I booked a great hair/make-up stylist to come to the hotel and do my hair and make up as well as the girls the morning of the wedding. That way I don't have to get up and drive some where. Here is a pic of how I kind of want my hair. Since my dress is pretty elaborate I think the rest of me needs to go simple.



The venue is booked for the ceremony and reception. They are also going to cater, so that was kind of a few tasks in one. We have a food tasting in a couple of weeks, that should be fun. We pretty much have narrowed the menu choices down. We just need to pick the rest of the appetizers for our cocktail hour. Also, I am so excited about having a chocolate fountain, I think it's going to be great. I just hope I get a bite or two out of it.

The cake is taken care of and is being paid for by my cousin Gib. He is fabulous. Shelly Wade is making our cake, here is a pic of what it is going to look like.

The girls have already gone a measured for their dresses. They are on order. They are great, I wish I could have got one too!

We have also gone and picked out tux's. So let's just see how responsive the groomsmen are. They know better, I have already gotten on them about not replying to emails, they don't want to deal with me so much anymore.

Our Florist is booked, but I am kind of easy. Since our colors are black, white, and red, I am going with nothing but red roses. I am keeping it simple.

Roy Dressel is our photographer, I think he will do a great job. He is booked and paid:) Yay

Our DJ/Emcee for the evening is Mancini. They are wonderful, I have seen them first hand and am confident that they will make this an event to remember.

Well as I am writing this I know that yes the major ones are taken care of, but I need to get at the small stuff, that way it doesn't creep up on me all at once. If you read this, thanks, I know it's alot.
