Flower Girl Dress

Hotels!! Is anyone else having an issue here? I knew Labor Day would be busy, but it's been a nightmare. I had my only mini-bridezilla moment when I got everything set for the rehearsal dinner on Friday 8/30 at one place and then we moved onto the room block and she transfered me to someone who said 'we'll give you Friday, but not Saturday'. Um, so you want me to ask the PARENTS and WEDDING PARTY to pack up and move to a different hotel the DAY OF THE WEDDING?? Some places are telling me they were booked last August (2012!)...long before I was even engaged.

Other than that, everything else is on schedule I think hah.

Looks like we are all pretty much on track! Time is going by soo fast now, I'm almost at only 5 months away! I still need to figure out rehearsal dinner stuff... all the restaurants near where our wedding will be are SO expensive!

I pretty much have everything done except the little things.

-I have to complete my custom invites (received them but now have to dress them up

-choose what jewelry I want to wear

-buy the materials for my centerpieces

-go for my first lateration fitting

-have my hair and make-up trials

-decide how I want to decorate the ceremony space

-purchase our wedding bands

-venue tastings

-choose our honeymoon

-complete paying all vendors

-hire our officient

-Oh and I forgot we have to decide what we want to do about the reherasal dinner

I think that's about it.

I've got most of my major vendors booked. Waiting on a contract for our rehearsal dinner but it's all picked out. I'm having the hardest time finding my shoes.

Pretty much all the little things like decorations still need to be done.

Ceremony Wording / Writing Vows

Book Honeymoon (know where we are going though and all that)

And probably tons of things I'm forgetting!

Elizabeth I hear you on hotels! We had a really hard time finding someone to work with us. Most places wanted $250 or more per night with a 2 night minimum! We finally found one that was more reasonable and didn't have a minimum. You'll get something to work out!
