So I got a lot of things done this week! But this week was the week where I have been stricken with the anxiety part of all of this…I’ve had two dreams (not nightmares) about the wedding this week and I looked ay my countdown on The Knot and it’s already less than 100 days away!?! When did that happen?!
Anyway…Here’s what happened this week:
I finally got to experiment with an idea I had about my flowers. I wanted to do my flowers with a layer of white to make them lighter than the other flowers. I’m really happy with the way they came out! The photo doesn’t do them justice, but when the bouquet is complete I’ll have a side-by-side comparison of my bouquet and one of the bridesmaids bouquets.
I got some alpha-phase favors down. You can see the bottles of sand with a lovebot inside with our wedding date in there as well. Here’s the reason for them: Kevin and I will be doing the sand ceremony for the wedding and we are encouraging our guests to bring their own sand from wherever they live (We will be having guests from Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, California, etc) and combine their sand into our jars before the ceremony. The symbolism behind it is to show that we wouldn’t be who we are today without the influence of those who we have present at the wedding. So we’re incorporating our guests into our unity ceremony. **And this was all Kevin’s idea!!** So…the favors are little sand bottles that they can take home with them. I think I’m sticking with that as my favors, but they’re not quite ready yet, I need to do a little more tweaking with them.
And I’m getting reply cards back already!! My plan last week was that most of my guests would actually get the invitation on the exact 3 month mark. And from what I heard, most did!
Coming up this week: I’m going shopping for a veil and shoes on Friday with my mother! Once I have those I can finish my dress! Kevin and I are going to finally buy each other’s wedding bands! And I’m sure other things will come up as well, but now it’s crunch time!
I’ll finish off this post with brief overviews of my dreams: the first one I had was basically that our wedding was happening at an old musty VFW hall and we (as in Kevin and I and all of our guests) were all just hanging out in casual clothes and then at some point we all decided to get ready and my girls and I had to get ready in the BATHROOM of this gross little VFW hall. Lol And the second dream was that our wedding was a backyard wedding of some sort–all completely outside in a field somewhere; and it started raining. (-_-) I really hope it doesn’t rain on my wedding day…
