Hey Courtney! Where did you end up getting your sunglasses for your welcome buckets? I'm thinking of doing something simlar for our guests. Thank you!

Hi, Ladies

 

I have two items that I am looking to sell. I did not use either of these items.  

 

1)  Mantilla cathedral length veil.  I bought two veils and ended up using the other one.  I am selling it for $40 + shipping OBO.   

2) Alfred Angelo hair comb/accessory.  I had my hair down so I didn't need a comb/accessory in it.  I am selling for $15 + shipping OBO.  

 

Let me know if you are interested!!

 

Happy planning, 

 

Courtney

Hi Courtney,

 

You have a wonderful planning thread.  Would you mind sharing how things went with your vendors where you satisfied with the level of service you received?

 

Thanks

My Save The Dates should be here later this week, but in the meantime the following is our proof:

I just keep reminding myself, they're the professionals, they do this every day, everything WILL workout...deep breaths haha

 

I have heard/read that you won't get your welcome dinner confirmation until a week before. Not helpful for the purposes of printing, but perhaps at least comforting to know they not just ignoring you? :-/

 

And yes, too funny that we're practically neighbors and getting married withing a week of each other! If you're still there on the 8th (when I arrive), maybe we can grab a drink and say hello
