Details

Now that all the big things are taken care of by the groom, it's up to the bride to work on the details!

The wedding invitations are coming out soon, but Amy is working on the final touches. I have to go to the post office and get one of them weighed to approximate the cost of postage for the reply cards.

I was able to purchase the cupcake tower last night from cupcaketree.com. I'm really excited to customize it to fit our colors. For the cupcake tower..I was unable to have Aileen Bagalso create the top cake because I was uninformed that she will be expecting at the time of our wedding. First off, I didn't know she was even pregnant! That was a surprise. But anyway, my search came to a close today because my friend Charmaine from school is really good at making cakes, I asked her today and she said yes. Mission accomplished.

The girls were able to get measured by Lori Elfman from church for the bridesmaid dresses. I even had her take a look at my bridal gown to see what she could do to alter it.

In the next few weeks i'm going to be looking for a florist (i'm not really sure on the color/style I want ) and the linens (chairs with sashes and table linens) for the reception hall.

On Our Way

It's been awhile (again) since I posted. Most of the major things are taken care of. As I mentioned, I already booked the honeymoon. The reception spot is set, and I've paid the remaining balance on it. The church building is set for the ceremony. We figured out how we're gonna do food at the reception. After a bit of research, we booked our photographer. We got a DJ. We have our emcees. We started up our registries at Target and Wal-Mart. I picked up Cy's wedding band from Blue Nile. We're well on our way. Next thing for me is to find tuxes for myself and the groomsmen.

dress to impress

Today I went to David's Bridal in Pinole to take advantage of their 99 dollar dress sale they are having until the 22nd. First thing I told the consultant was "Point me to the sale rack"..but there was barely anything that fit me. I'm usually a size 3 dress size, one thing i didn't know is that bridal dress sizes runs a lot differently then regular dress sizes. I found out that i'm a size 10!
I was lucky, the second dress I tried on was "the one" but it was a little too small (it was a size 4) and I wasn't able to get it zipped up all the way in the back so the consultant got me a bigger size which I thought was going to be too big for me (a size 10) but it fit! It was just a little too long. Anyway, today I was able to purchase everything i'm going to wear from head to toe for the big day and I was able to get a few things like gloves and necklaces for all the bridesmaids.
