O geez. We are less than 3 months away and I am making MAJOR CHANGES! What is wrong with me!? I must be out of my mind but I am completely second guessing myself.
After talking to Amy yesterday I have made a number of adjustments and still have a few that I am working out...
Heres what weve +/-
- Buffet / + Plated meal with beef filet and lobster
(after talking to Amy, the plated meal seems to go better with the formalness (is that a word?) of our event)
- Change room diagram with 12 rounds and 1 roman style head table / + ????
(I really like sleek, clean lines and think there is an opportunity here to improve the room overall. The table layout is FREE after all and I think it can make a statement)
here is a pic of it as it is now...
- Favors from ??? / + champagne glass favors filled with choc candy wrapped in gold, also serves as place card with name and table name
(I wanted to find something that would serve as double duty for the place card and favor)
here is what I'm going for...
- 10 large fountaining tulip arrangements and 2 kids table arrangements / + 12 large fountaining tulip arrangements
(Im afraid the 2 kids tables with different arrangements will make the room look bare in the corner against the other tables with tall arrangments. I think I might just suck it up and get 12 ugh)
- Pin spot lighting for 10 arrangements / + pin spot lighting and wall wash throughout ballroom with monogram gobo
(I am so excited about adding the monogram to shine on the dance floor!)
+ caricaturist for 3 hours, possibly adding a 4th hour
(my family is particularly stoked about this one, this would also be a favor but not everyone will want/get to have it done; also, Wes and I are going to give the caricaturist a photo of us in advance and let him do one for us first to put on an easel as people walk into the reception for the cocktail hour)
+ signature cocktail, not sure what yet, but probably something purple
(I really think this is worth it and will end up being one of the takeaways of the wedding; now to decide what to serve and what to call it! : / )
- Grooms cake to + more uplighting and floral
(again, I think this is worth replacing. While I loved the donuts, there will be plenty of food already and our cake will have 3 different flavor options so there is really just no need for it. Wes wasnt too attached to the idea anyway)
- 3 hors dourves for just 2 hors dourves
(this was a tough decision but as my parents said, they bring those around constantly so it doesn't mean less FOOD just less choices. Good point and worth doing to make the lighting and floral the way I want)
OK people, I can't change my mind anymore!!!! This is it, I am making these decisions and that is it! I can't keep second guessing myself. Ya know, I never second guessed my dress or the b-maids dresses or the venue or anything else but suddenly I don't know what to do! I really do think the plated meal is the right choice and I'm happy with that. I am also willing to put any amount of money necessary into flowers and lighting because the ambiance has always been most important to me.
Alright, I'm off to go dwell on this blessed event some more

. Excuse my sarcasm, I am really excited!!!! I just wish I were good at making decisions...
