Nice binder Doesn't it feel good to know that there are so many other neurotic planners out there?!?!

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

Love the binder! I wish I could make spreadsheets like that, but I cannot figure it out on my Mac...well, I figured out how to make one, but it wants to print out on 4 pages! So I have to type everything up in lists!

Yay for one month!!!

Thank you! I used to run into the same problem with my Mac. I had to do some pretty large spreadsheets for a school project, and I think I got it to work by inserting the spreadsheet into Word (as a file though, not an object) and then resizing it there, plus setting the paper to print landscape. It's been a while though, so I might be wrong!

yay for one month!!!

We can't wait! I hope this month goes by quickly!

Love, love, love the binder!!! Yay for one month!!!

Thank you! It's so good to finally be under one month!

Definitely! It's nice to know I'm not alone in my planning ventures!

Yay! I love keeping myself organized with a binder-- yours is great! You are so close-- it's crazy to think how holiday-immersed the parks will be then! I can't believe how quickly this time of the year is coming up!

OMG! I don't know why I never thought of that!

I tried it, I made my whole spreadsheet and then saved it as a file, and tried to open it in Pages (a Mac word processing program) and it wouldn't open...so I cut and pasted it and it fit! Half of it was on a 2nd page, so I had to make the font kind of small, but I got it on one page and added some color and everything! Still not as nice as yours, but much better than the handwritten one I was using! Thanks for the suggestion!

WEDDING DETAILS – THE ATTIRE

Time for another wedding update! This time I thought I’d focus on the attire that the ladies in the wedding will be wearing. I think I mentioned already, but just incase I didn't my colors are blush pink, ivory, gold accents and pale green accents. Here are the bridesmaid dresses:

I think that this style will be really flattering on both of my bridesmaids, even though they have two very different body types.

Here are some styles and colors that I like for mother/grandmother dresses. These aren’t definites, but more so ideas. We’ve yet to do the mother shopping yet!

And of course, there is one last dress to share with you…my dress!!!

I went into my dress shopping pretty open to different silhouettes and styles. I did quite a bit of “researching” beforehand (meaning watching countless episodes of TLC’s Say Yes To The Dress!) and knew that sometimes, the style that ends up looking the best on you isn’t at all what you expected.

I decided to split my shopping up between 2 weekends so I wouldn’t feel overloaded, and I planned on visiting 2 stores per day, with a plan to return to a store the following weekend if I found a dress that I liked there. The first weekend that I did my shopping, the outcome was kind of…underwhelming. I did find a dress that I really liked in one of the stores and had a really fun time trying them on, but I was missing that reaction from both my family and myself.

I went back to the same store the following weekend with that one particular dress in mind. I thought I would try it on again and see if it brought on a different reaction the second time around. But then another dress caught my eye…

It was one I was planning on trying on the first week but just never got around to it. I knew that I had to try it on, and I decided to let it be the first one. As soon as the consultant put the dress on me I had a feeling. Not necessarily, “this is the one” but “I really, really like this one. A lot more than the other one.” When I walked out of the dressing room all of my family that was there with me started crying. Then I knew. That was definitely the dress! I know that people say this a lot, but really, the picture just doesn’t do it justice. Here it is!

I can't believe how quickly the wedding day is approaching!

Thank you! The flower details are definitely my favorite part of the dress.

Thanks, Emma! It is so flattering on. I decided on the corset back, which I love. It really gives a nice shape.

Right now we're focusing on the music! We've got our string quartet for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and the trumpet player for the ceremony all lined up. Now I just have to decide on a DJ.

 

[disneybarbie]

I've gone for a corset back too - I tried on some with the buttoned-backs, but thought the corset-style was prettier!

That's lovely that you're having live musicians! We are having a singer (ratpack/Frank Sinatra/Michael Buble style!) and then a DJ .. and just a cd for the ceremony lol

I think the corsets are so much more flattering. Plus, I love that they are really adjustable to your size. I feel like now I don't have to worry so much about the dress fitting!

I love the Frank Sinatra/Michael Buble style of music too! That's what I want the DJ to play during the dinner. I just hope I can come up with enough songs to fill the time!

Thank you so much! You described exactly what I want the dress to be. I wanted something classic but with a bit of a flare, and I think the dress fits that perfectly.

Don't worry! I've haven't had much time to get on lately either, so I know how it goes!

I can't believe how soon the trip is, either! I feel like it was just yesterday that Miguel and I decided to book this trip. And your's is just around the corner, too!
