Awesome shoes. I love the ribbons!
Thank you! I think the girls will go crazy over them
ur shoes & ribbons!
Thanks! You can't totally tell but they have just a tiny bit of bling on them. Know you love that!
Well today I finally got the official contract for the Dessert Party on Sunday at Grand Floridian, Sago Cay. Its been a bit of a PITA but glad I can get that ball rolling. And I am so lucky, my Mom agreed to bring in our professional photographers and videographer to capture the Dessert Party too! I'm really excited about this because I feel like it will be much more "reception like" than our seated dinner after the ceremony will be. So having the pro photos and videos is going to wrap everything up so nicely! I just need to get a good headcount so I can decide which menu to go with. I have a more expensive one now, but as the head count goes up, the menu $$ will need to go down. Especially since I lost the battle of being cheap and using an ipod instead of spending $500
to "pipe" the music in (which especially irks me since the equipment is already there, they are basically flipping a switch for 500 bucks.) But everyone wanted it and I can't say I won't love having it too
I went to Nordstrom yesterday and fell in love with a purse! But it is $80 and I feel like the budget keeps growing and growing. Seems like latley everything is "Why not? It's your wedding! Go for it!" which is becoming expensive. So I am going to try to hit some antique and thrift stores and see if I can find a vintage one that I might like just as much. For reference, these are the two that I am debating about. The first is the one I saw in person at Nordys (Which in person it is much bigger and fluffier. Like a marshmallow flower lol)
Nordstrom Purse
Etsy Purse
Any favorites between the two??
I've been debating about jewelry, hair, makeup for awhile. I think I'm pretty sure I'm going to do big earrings, no necklace, hair up with my veil (and blusher veil) and maybe small flower pins in my hair. I don't normally wear earrings and my ears are very sensitive, so it will be a bit of a challenge to find just the right pair.
We need to sort out who is getting a Tshirt since DF just informed me that several of his Aunts and Uncles won't be coming into the parks at all
Kinda bummed me out, but I guess I get it. (well, I don't but to each there own) So I need to get the head count to my relative who will be making them. That will also determine how many welcome bags we make. And we are still deciding if we should try to assemble them ahead of time and deal with bringing them there, or buy all of the stuff once we have arrived. It will mostly depend on how many bags we do.
I have my first dress fitting on Sunday!!
I'm a bit nervous about the fit since I ordered it a size smaller than the size I was when I bought it. According to the measurements of the dress though it should be pretty close, so we will see. I need to make the appointment for the bustle and fingers crossed, if I can stick to this current work out and diet routine I just might need it taken in. I also am making an appointment at Nordstrom for a bra fitting. I was going to do a corset type thing, but I think I have been talked out of it for the pure comfort factor of a strapless bra with spanx. So we will see!!
Oh and one final thing. If I can squeeze a few more dimes from the budget, I'm considering buying these soaps for our welcome bags. I saw them on Kathie Lee and Hoda this morning. You can get a sample pack and customize the wording on it! Looks so cute!
