May 2009 Brides

as of saturday ...

wedding dress = CHECK!

bridesmaid dresses = CHECK!

i don't feel quite so behind now!

That's a really nice dress Lisa i bet it looks fab on bummer i won't see it lol

Whew, Ok I think I am almost done with the major tasks!

I ordered my dress last week, it is the total opposite of what I thought i wanted, but I just love it and on top of that I found a chapel length veil that I absolutely love...a little much for the beach but I don't care!

The bridesmaid dresses are picked out and will be ordered next week. Dinner, flowers and my bookings are taken care of so I just have flights, oot bags and invitations left to do!

Oh and I need to lose about 40 lbs so I had better get moving on that too!

Overall things are FINALLY starting to move smoothly!

ETA: whoops, maybe I need to get my marriage certificate too...for some reason that one keeps slipping my mind!

Woo hoo, got some updates to my list!! Finally found BM Dresses! I love them See pic below! What do you girls think? Also I need some advice on what color to order my flower ribbons in. I think I want my ribbon to be white, the corsages for the mom's in white because it will go with what they wear, for the BM, GM & Groom, I think I would like the ribbon to be teal so they pop ot from what they are wearing but the flowers are white and fuschia, would that look ok? Here's a picture of the flowers (al white orchids instead of white & green) - help please
