@@ashhtayy everything looks gorgeous, especially you in your wedding dress

[ashhtayy]

@@deecol & @@Wafflesmom thanks ladies!

 

Spa Update -

 

After a TON of back and forth emails I think our hair and makeup times will finally work.

 

Bridesmaids - 11AM hair, 12PM makeup

Me - 12PM hair, 1PM makeup

Mums - 1PM hair and makeup

 

4:30PM ceremony, no first look

 

I think this will work well and will leave lots of time for getting dressed and eating. What do you ladies think?

@@ashhtayy I think that will work perfectly especially without a first look.

[ashhtayy]

I was hoping to get more done before I posted this list because it is massive, but here it is. This is what I THINK we have left to do but I'm sure there is much, much more. Time to get busy...

Tumbler Stickers Ordered!

 

Etsy Vendor: WishDesignStudio

 

I dealt with Jean and he was always so quick to respond! He customized our stickers and sent the draft before I even paid.

 

This shop is more expensive than DavetDesigns but DavetDesigns couldn't customize to what I was looking for. I really wanted clear stickers and Jean was able to do that for me.

 

Here is the draft:

 

 

I ordered 12 blue, 12 red, 12 teal, 6 purple, 6 green and 6 orange. They should arrive in 6 to 10 business days.

 

Thanks to my wedding "sister" @@Jasminr3803 for letting me use her design

@@ashhtayy I'm finally catching up on your thread. I love your dress and the belt. So glad it worked out for you (finally!). You shower looked amazing. Your BMs and mum did a wonderful job All of your signage and flowers look amazing together. They match perfectly. Your list is amazing. It looks long, but it's lots of little things. You will start whittling it down in no time

[ashhtayy]

@@vancouverpetunia Thank you for checking in! Can't wait to read all about your vaca, honeymoon and wedding

 

Socks for the groomsmen and Mike are off the list! They'll do the trick!

Overall we had a pretty productive weekend - thank goodness!

 

- Mike purchased one of his two white shirts. We need to visit another location as he and my brother bought the last two at that store.

- Cake stand is purchased. Another BDW bride is getting married three days after us at AF - she is bringing the cake stand for both of us to use and we will also both use the fake layer of cake my mum's friend is making.

- Purchased some summer clothes this weekend - two pairs of shorts and two new skirts!

- Selected bridesmaids heels!

- Created photo list and emailed to parents. Looks like we didn't miss any shots and are ready to share with our photographers.

- Set up a date to get together with our MCs to go over a timeline and little details.

- Emailed speakers regarding speeches and let them know we've allocated 30 minutes for their 5 speeches.

- Purchased three more bags of straws - all gold.

- Went through our song list and DJ song list and now know what needs to be downloaded. Still need to work on ceremony music but dinner and party music are done.

- My mum picked up the rest of our tea lights.

- Purchased "You are loved" makeup bags for my bridesmaids and they're in our wedding colours! Purchased earrings for the girls. Necklace and earrings will be wrapped in tissue and placed in the makeup bags for their day-of gift.

- Finished spray painting mason jars.

- Purchased Mike's day-of present - a Skagen watch; white face, cognac coloured band. Still searching for the perfect card.

 

Delegated Tasks lol

- Mum to look into limo to airport for myself, Mike, mum, dad & brother

- Mum to put together day of emergency kit

- Bridesmaid bringing her travel steamer; Mum to price out and purchase another one

- MOH to chalkboard draw welcome sign - I tried and it wasn't pretty. Bought easel and chalkboard this weekend; it's adorable!

 

If each day could be as productive as this weekend was we'll be ready in no time

[vancouverpetunia]

@@ashhtayy Wow. That's an impressive weekend. Glad you knocked a lot of things off your list

[krystalball]

Gah, I'm falling behind on everyone's threads! You've done such a great job so far, everything is coming together beautifully and your to do list is looking very manageable. You got this!

 

If you want to borrow a travel steamer instead of buying one, I have mine that I bought for our wedding. It works great - just let me know!
