Menu meetings, dress fittings, timelines oh my!


So obviously there will be no pictures of the wedding gown but here is one from the engagement shoot, amazingly I managed to get up without any grass stains! My wedding gown is in, it looks amazing and I can't wait for everyone to see it!

With less that 11 weeks left to go I feel like deadlines and projects are starting to pick up! The invitations are in and the envelopes are out for calligraphy. After what felt like 4,000 revisions they are absolutely perfect and Stephanie from Kreative's has been beyond amazing and the invitations came out exactly as we (I) wanted them to!

The menu has been discussed yet not tasted, quite a tease. We had the menu meeting at 10am and by 11:30 I thought I was going to die of hunger from listening to all the delicious ideas, lets just say everyone will be very well fed on October 8th!

The timeline is a headache and mostly just something I would rather not think about. I HATE planning and details, I just want to have a party, drink champagne and be surround by people who I love and will tell me I look beautiful... much easier said than done. I didn't even think about deciding when dances will be had and who will give speeches when, should salad be served before the parent dance? I just figured it would all just happen as it should.

I am now attempting to make a list - for those of you who don' know, I am not a list person. Everyone keeps telling me it is easy now that the big things are done. I do not agree, the big things are easy - you need a date, you need a venue and you need a bridal party. Its the little minutia that pops out of nowhere and throws me off, who knew someone had to be responsible for making sure the groomsmen put their boutonnieres on correctly?!

Well I'm off to attempt a list....
