April 2011 Brides

[QueenDiva]

It is pretty unbusy, lol. I'm sure those with dates coming up just a month away are probably working like busy bees to complete stuff for their weddings. I know when I get to be a month out I will probably be panicked!

Ella- I actually registered for one of those pictures off of Etsy - I just asked the seller to make a custom listing for me and I posted it on our website with our other gift registry info to let people know. I told the seller if it doesn't get sold then I'll just buy it!

 

Yeah, I feel for those of you who don't get bonuses - I'm taking my PhD in a cancer research lab, and since we're non-profit there's no way we'd ever get bonuses (even the non-students). I'm always so envious of people who get bonuses:) Hopefully someday I'll get one too:)

 

And I've got exciting news - I finally have gotten some things done for the wedding!! I've been studying for a big exam for the past month so I haven't done any wedding stuff and now the exam is over I finally made my bouquet this weekend! I LOVE how it turned out - I will post pictures soon!!

 

Also - the guys suits arrived, the bridesmaids dresses arrived, we bought shoes for the groomsmen, and I bought a necklace for me to wear - will post pictures of those too!

 

Love the feeling of getting lots done:)

That's a great idea!  I didn't even think of doing that!  Hmm, maybe I'll set that up with the seller too!

I agree, I will be very focused too.  I actually packed my first bag today...  I put a big share of the OOT Bag pieces in one bag I'll be checking, but I still have a fair amount of stuff left that is for the OOT Bags.  Other than that, I've got a whole lot of nothing to do really...  so maybe I won't have to focus too much come the middle of April!

I have some sharing ladies

 

First my centerpiece. It's pretty much done. I like things in 3's, as you can see. The one thing that will change is the brown flower will be white flower ball with feathers (a larger version of the small one) and it will be filled more with jewels, seashells & those neato wicker balls, haha. Also all 3 containers will have turquoise LED lights in them. It's just tough to find them in Canada (and shipping from the US costs more than the lights themselves, ugh).

 

 

And a close up....

 

Now for my shoes! I gave up my search for pretty turquoise shoes that were less than 3" tall and got something neutral that matches my dress (which is champagne with mocha accents)

 

 

And my wedding jewelry (bracelet & earrings)

 

 

And finally these are our hair flowers, mine in the middle & the girls on either side...

I should also report that we went to look at our AHR venue today, which is now booked for June 25!!! we're thinking we're going to make our invites asap and send them right before we leave for Jamaica before people plan something else for that weekend.

Very pretty!  My FI has the rings locked in the safe so I won't keep trying mine on.
