5 days and Counting!

Well it's 5 days, or at least it can be. Do you count 'the day' as one of the days? And are you including the end of this day, since it's 11pm? Whichever method you use the time is fast approaching and we are starting to get things really in motion.

Mike's family has arrived at a rental house and all this week is busy busy with flowerbed weeding, grass cutting, decoration stringing, chocolate wrapping, and many other little tasks. It'll be good, but busy with cars going in different directions.

Add on top of that my dress fittings, which I'm a little worried about. My tailor is very busy, especially last week, with other weddings. So this week I will need at least 2 fittings, plus 3 of the bridesmaid dresses are in there as well. Fingers crossed she doesnt' get sick or something disastrous!

Littler things are getting done, and people are busy organizing and writing things down. I hope that no one gets their wires crossed, or anything gets missed.

SO here's hoping for a smooth week!

Proper Footwear

Just a quick reminder to everyone, this is an outdoor wedding. So we have a tent for dinner, and a dance floor to 'cut a rug' on, but remember that you will be walking on grass. From the car park area, to the ceremony, and then inside the tent. Everywhere but the dance floor is either grass, gravel, or a pine-needle covered forest floor.

So feel free to wear heels and things, just make sure they are outdoor approved. Please no stilettos, that will cause you to either sink and/or twist and ankle.

I'd hate to have a mishap that day!

Sneak Peek: Flower Girls

Here is a sneak peek of the flower girl dresses. It is nearly complete, just need to do the obi. But the girls LOVE them and keep twirling in them, so I'm thrilled about that.

The other one is lighter purple, but the same style. But the girls also love their special shoes with dragonflies, so all of it is adorable on them.

Tell me that's not cute lol.

The toughest part is getting them to take it off after we do a fitting! They want to keep 'dancing' in their 'special dresses and shoes'.

Last Day!

Well all things here have been running smoothly (if crazy busy and intense). So as things are coming together I realized this;

Oh My Goodness! It's August 2nd!!!

Know what that means? Two things actually.
1) Our wedding is one month away! (I could the night before with the rehearsal dinner, otherwise it's one month and one day).
2) TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO BOOK!

#2 is referring to the hotel rooms. After today I will no longer have the rooms block booked, and thus you are no longer guaranteed a room and you no longer get the group discount. However there are two other weddings that had block bookings for the same time, so hopefully all the unused rooms from all three bookings are now free and available. So if you haven't booked there should still be room but it's not guaranteed.
#2 is also referring to my RSVP date. I need to know numbers to confirm tables, chairs, napkins, ect, and the catering for the big day. So PLEASE let me know ASAP (like as in the next hours) about if you are coming. Or even if you thinkyou are or you think you are NOT coming. I need to know!

Thanks so much! I want you all to be there and I want to make it easy for you!

Hope to see as many of you as I can!
