With 4 months down and less than 8 to go, I am in full wedding mode! We've accomplished a lot so far, and yet it seems like there is so much left to do! So here is a quick recap of whats been done, what we're working on now, and what the next 8 months will be filled with:
* Pick a venue...DONE
* Hire a photographer...DONE!
* Hire a DJ...DONE!
* Buy my dress/veil...DONE!! (and it's sooo gorgeous!!!!!!!)
* Select our lovely bridal party...DONE! (and I don't think I've introduced them yet, aahhhh! that
will be done soon, promise!)
* Save the Dates...DONE!
* Buy mason jars...DONE! (and lots of em too!)
So all that fun stuff has been taken care of it, and almost all of it has been paid in full! (Once my dress gets in, then the other half will be paid and we'll have no outstanding wedding bills, woot woot!) As of right now, this is what Graym and I are trying to check off the list in the next month or two:
* Flowers for the bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and centerpieces. As of right now, I'm
looking at silk flower bouquets...they are cheaper and last forever :) I'm currently talking to one
woman who makes GORGEOUS silk flower bouquets, so we'll see what happens!
* Finding our cake lady. We went to an open house a couple months ago and LOVED this
woman's cake, but she is a little pricier than other vendors so we're gonna do some more
tastings before we pick (and honestly, do doesn't love to eat various samples of delicious
cake!)
* Bridesmaid dresses! My girls will be coming down the first weekend of March to try on some
lovely dresses. Until then, I gotta pick out the ones I like and set up appointments to try then on.
* Wedding reggiisstttrrryyy wwhhhhoooooo!! Picking out stuff for our new apartment is gonna be
a blast!
* Gotta book our honeymoon flight to Turks & Caicos!
Phew! So we sure do have a lot to get to over the course of the next couple months, but I know it's gonna be tons of work planning with my husband-to-be. Graym has been such a help and blessing throughout the wedding planning so far, and I know that will continue to hold true as the months pass. Even after these next two month, there is still a lot to be done...decorations, food selection, invitation design, etc...but I know we'll love every step of the way.
240 days!!!
We LOVE the Save the Dates! Ours came yesterday and Clara was thrilled she could put it on the fridge. She put it at her height, of course, and every time she walks past it she says, "Gray and Sasha Mommy, Gray and Sasha!" :)
The knot is super cute!
