WEDDING DRESS!

Exciting News in the Wedding Planning World! My Wedding Dress is in!
On Friday I got the call from Septembers Bride letting me know that my Wedding Dress had come in, and I could come and try it on when I had time.
So, saturday morning I went with my friend Kaylin and my Mom and I went to try it on.
I LOVE IT! It is so perfect for me, and it is the dress of my dreams!
I wasn't able to try on the sample dress originally, so to be able to actually put it on and see it on myself was amazing!
Now, I just need to have the corset back added in and it will be perfect! :)

In other news, we are now just going to start looking into Florists, because that is the last major thing we have to get done :) I am hoping to get a bunch of smaller things done while I am on Christmas break as well. Hopefully start doing the slideshow, and table numbers, and a flower wreath.... and try to get my centerpieces all figured out :)

Also, while I am on Christmas Break from School I am going to try to get my craftiness on! I want to make some new flower headbands and make some Christmas Stockings maybe?? We shall see!

Christmas is just around the corner! :)

Wedding Decisions Galore!

Once again, it has been quite a while since i have Last posted! Life is just so crazy! Just last week was Thanksgiving, and thankfully I had the whole week off from school! I took that time to instead of do homework, hang out with friends and family... and also do a lot of WEDDING PLANNING!
Yes... my favorite thing! The thing I wish I had way more time for :)

Well.. lets do a quick run through of what I have accomplished so far up until this part..
Church - booked
Reception Hall at the Trestle Stop - Booked
Photographer is Mindy Leigh Photography - Booked & Engagement Pictures have been taken! :)
Wedding Dress has been ordered from Septembers Bride
Bridesmaid Dresses have been Ordered from Septembers Bride
AND just recently I hired Michelle from Events at Septembers Bride to be my Day of Wedding Coordinator, and she will also be helping me when I am trying to decide on different ideas and will help me with the day of schedule and such. She is so awesome, so I am really excited about hiring her as well! :)
annnd... I am starting to work with my Beautiful Friday Kristen Tamminga, and she is going to be putting together a couple different invitation ideas, so that is rolling now too :)

What I am now working on is officially booking my Cake Place & The DJ!
We ended up meeting with Dance Track DJ's & also Push Play DJ's and both were very nice. I enjoyed meeting with both and it was really hard for me to decide! But after a lot of thinking and weighing numbers and such, we are going to book Dance Track DJ's. I have a really hard saying no to people, so having to send the rejection e-mail kind of stunk. However, I am very excited about finally booking the DJ!
Also, we are booking our Cake Place as well! We went last week Saturday and had a tasting at 2nd Floor Bakery in Holland, and the cake was AMAZING! To Die For.. so so good. Kris and his Mom came along with my Mom and I, and we all loved the cake so much! We showed her a picture of that I am looking at, and I think it is going to be so awesome! Kris is also going to have a groom's cake, which I am stoked about. :)

The next major thing I want to get working on is trying to find a florist, and that is in the works right now! Last night, I did a lot of research on different flowers, and found a couple escort card ideas that I really like so we are trying to work that out as well :)
It has been a very successful last week or 2 :)

Now, I am just trying to survive these last couple weeks of school before Christmas break! I am also starting to really push this weight loss thing. I really want this, and I am trying to just stick with it. It is so hard to realize that it will be a slow process... so I am trying to just stick with it! I know I can do it! I have been unhappy about my weight for too long, so now I need to finally stick to it and just follow through. I am doing good so far! It is just sticking with it that is the hard part!

Well, it is definitely time for me to cash in for the night! I am exhausted :)
