we didn't have time to work on my dress over the long weekend ... chose to relax instead. but have decided to wait until the weekend of march 5 because my grandma will be down to do her taxes with my dad.  she's not able to come to jamaica so i'm going to do the dress stuff then so she can see me in it.  she thinks i'm wearing it for my AHR but i'm not! lol ... this way i will at least please her a bit

[Brandy]

What are you wearing to your AHR???

[Lua]

I hope to wear the little cocktail dress that I plan on making from the material that was cut off of my gown. if that dress doesn't work out, then i'll just get a cute little white dress. I just don't see myself wearing my gown again.

[Brandy]

Oh yeah thats right, have you starting trying to make the dress yet??

now that the luggage tags are done, i'm hoping i can have a quiet sunday this weekend and start playing around with the dress.

 

aside from printing the sheets for the key holders and assembling our game books (they're printed), i finally don't really have any more DIY projects.

Got my earring cards made last night for my Bridesmaid gift bags.  I was originally going to have them wear starfish, but I found these and they were perfect.  I LOVE Fleur-de-lis.  It is special to my FI and I for many reasons, one being that we "re-kindled" at Mardi Gras in Lousianna.  Anyway, I made a card to go with the earrings that states the symbolic meaning of it and how if reflects my FI and I (symbol of strength, two individual petals held together with a ring to creating one strong piece in the middle...cheesy I know) so I wanted them to wear it on our special day.  Plus they have a blackish etching around it with a pink stone which are the colors for the wedding so this is their hint of pink since the dresses are black.  The dresses come around the neck so they won't need a necklace and I ordered them monogram silver chain bracelets similiar to the Tiffany one.

you know what.. maybe i'll even start playing around with it tonight.  the last few days have been so stressfull and FI is going to be late from work anyway... maybe i'll just take some quiet time and start cutting out the fabric.

 

 

 

 

oh and we've finally almost got the notarizing thing solved.  i ended up calling MY lawyer who knew exactly what needed to be done. i'm going friday morning with our originals and he'll take care of everything for me. all for 'free' ... providing i make a min. donation of $40 to the local hospital foundation

those are so pretty kitty!!!
