Greetings my dears,
Well. I have done quite a bit since my last blog entry, let me just say that.
Today I went and talked with a florist about my wedding bouquets, which will include one for me and two for my bridesmaids. I'm going with what's real simple, as that is the key word for this wedding.
If it's not simple, I'm not that keen!
I'm not into extravagance and opulence and having a whole bunch of stuff everywhere, sometimes less is more. :-)
L and I did end up getting the cupcake tasters from the Dessert Room and they were absolutely delicious!
So we have decided to go with them for our cake.
We have also been shopping every other weekend and managed to wrangle up most of the stuff we'll need for our centerpieces.
I am a constant visitor of www.myweddingstore.co.nz, they have some great products and have sales constantly.
I've already bought quite a lot of stuff from them, mainly things that I cannot find in the stores here in Dunedin.
Since my last entry I've also been wedding dress shopping!!!!!!!!!
That was a lot of fun!
My parents are coming to town in a few days for mine and L's engagement party so I'm going to take them to see me in the wedding dress. Hopefully that goes well!
I've ordered my bridesmaid dresses, after some deliberation and a fair deal of umm-ing and aah-ing.
I'm really happy with the style we ended up going with.
Again, the style is very simplistic, which is perfect.
We ordered them from an overseas store so now we just have to wait for them to arrive!
So exciting!
Finally, the wedding invitations are done and dusted.
They turned out really well!
My friend Aimee Storm did an absolutely amazing job on them!
She is so talented.
They cost a small fortune to print, because they are on the most beautiful pearlised cream card, but that's okay. It's worth it to have them look that good!!!
I'm going to give out the invitations at the engagement party to all those who are attending, then hand-deliver them to those living in Dunedin, and mail out the rest.
I feel like I've done a lot and the wedding is still over seven months away!
I have a few other things I'd like to write about, mostly stupid wedding etiquette I don't agree with!
I have come across some ridiculous things in my wedding planning ventures which I would love to share with you.
But not today.
Today I'm gonna leave this here. Thanks for reading and I'll write again soon!
DAYS TIL THE WEDDING: 222
