Thank you

 

I think the gazebos are all pretty much the same size.  I'm bringing my own also, no way I was paying those rates.  I'm hanging 5 sheers, so the cost for set up is a little higher than other peoples.  I bought sheers that were 10yd x 54".  Here's a couple of good sites.

If you look through some of my previous posts, or search this thread, I posted what my WC told me directly about sheers.  He gave some examples of what the different fabrics look like and the size dimensions that they use.  I told him what I bought and he said that they'd work fine. 

Hope this helps.

we used tulle, they hung them beautifully. I can try to remember and post pics, or you can find me on fb.

Our wedding is officially two weeks away! Where did the time go?

 

We are having a two hour welcome cocktail party and a cocktail hour after the ceremony and using an ipod for both. Does anyone have any good music suggestions? I was thinking of getting some mixes from itunes like a mariachi mix but not sure if I want to use mariachi for both days. I listened to some vitamin string quartet and other acoustic music but I don't want to put my guests to sleep. I also don't know if it is odd to play flamenco or reggae since we aren't in Spain or Jamaica. Any ideas?

Just picked up our Marriage Certificate!!!!!!!!!  I can't believe our wedding is a week from tomorrow!  So excited, we leave Wednesday!!!!!!  It was so fun, I wasn't expecting there to be vows involved, but it felt so good looking into his eyes and saying "I Do"... now I'm just ridiculously giddy... and Todd keeps calling me Mrs. Narehood, even though I told him he's not allowed and we were going to pretend this ceremony doesn't count... but who am I kidding, today was awesome!

Sweet Caroline - Neal Diamond

Blister in the Sun - Violet Femms
