There has been much progress! First: we have head table decorations- success! I will only post one aerial photo because I dont want to give too much away before the wedding itself :)
We absolutely love it.
In other DIY news, I bought my Dye for my Bridal slip and am hoping to get that done asap. It should turn out this color: http://www.mygymfloor.com/Portals/0/Configurator/tiles/YM-200-0-DrkTealGreen.jpg
Once I do that project I'll post photos of the process! I'm also tying 100 small bows for our favors. I want to do as much as I possibly can before the wedding gets closer and I make other people suffer with me :). Nothing has been totally overwhelming in the planning process yet. The budget is always a concern, but Dean and I can make it work. We always do. I'm so anal I have a spreadsheet of things I need to buy and on which paycheck I will be purchasing this stuff.
I keep seeking advice from the Offbeatbride forums and some of the best things I have heard is "Dont sweat the small stuff". Totally practical advice, but in the broader sense- No one is going to notice the things that I will notice.The moments that will matter will be between Dean and I when we stand in front of our loved ones telling them how much we love each other.
I also purchased our rings yesterday. Those are also being kept under wraps except to close friends/family. (Hey, a girls got to show someone right?!)Dean and I already made an agreement that once we know that they fit, and that we like them- we have to put them away. No trying it on 'just because'. I would wager that it will be far more difficult for me to not wear it than for him. Just a guess :)
That's all for now, but I will be updating like crazy in about a month or so :)
in the vein of the 'don't sweat the small stuff' theme you should check out the book 'the conscious bride.' me and my friends all read it before our weddings and i think it impacted us all differently, and was really helpful. gives nice perspective on the emotional side of all you're going through. plus it's an easy read and prompts interesting conversation with the groom.
