Invitations and BM Dresses are a MUST DO this weekend!
January 25, 2010
On most of the wedding checklists I’ve seen, I was suppose to have my invitations and the BM dresses ordered this month. Well, here it is January 21st and I still have not decided on a BM dress and have been playing around with making my own invitations. I NEED TO MAKE A DECISION!!!
Friday, my mom and I are heading to An Affair to Remember to look at wedding invitations. I met the owner at the Villa Borghese Bridal Show and I got good vibes from her. When I called to schedule an appointment, she remembered me since I asked specifically for the metallic navy blue pockets. She said she didn’t have them but she could order them elsewhere.
I’ve been playing around with the idea of creating my own. A friend of mine made hers and they came out so cute. She sent me a bunch of websites on how other people made them. I believe I’m more than capable of making them and have a lot of support from people who would help put them together. But, I am just petrified I will get way overwhelmed and frustrated and end up losing my mind.. So.. we’ll see what tomorrow brings.
Saturday, a bunch of the girls are meeting me at Lady Gray in Beacon to try on this potential BM dress,
in this color:
I HOPE AND PRAY TO GOD this dress is a hit and it looks fabulous on them! I’ll have all eight of the the girls in it, including Jess and Amber. I originally wanted them to have something different so they are recognized as the MOH’s. But, we’re figure out a little something different to do with them so they stand out… Suggestions?
Wedding Updates:
1. We booked our rehearsal dinner site! When we started this whole process, we were looking at restaurants like Cosimos, Aroma, and Blue Fountain. The one problem we kept running into was that these places were too small to hold a large party like us. Obviously we need a place that is a handicap accessible and Cosimo’s party room is located upstairs. So scratch that idea. Andrew used his DJ connections and contacted Terri, the manager at the Links at Union Vale, which is a place he absolutely loves to work at. It is located on a golf course. Andrew scheduled an appointment for his parents and us to visit this past Saturday. The place has amazing views and offers a package that wasn’t too over the top, An Upscale BBQ! I envisioned something a bit low-key since the wedding is the next day and how perfect is a BBQ?! Weather permitting, we can have it outside! I love it!
2. We booked the transportation for the wedding. We are using Settembre Limousine. I met the owner a few times at Bridal Shows and he always said he’d take care of us when we were ready to book. I gave him a call and we are all set with the Princess which will take my parents and I to the Church.
The bridesmaids will roll-up in the church in this bad boy.. PARTY BUS!!
haha! Andrew and I wanted to make sure the bridal party was as comfortable they could be. So, the party bus can accommodate up to 30 people. Our bridal party consists of 18, including us. So, I think we’ll have more than enough room!
Well, I believe that’s all the updates for now. Wish me luck this weekend!!
