It's funny... the day after I posted that last entry I bought my wedding dress. I can't describe it here b/c Matt reads my journal sometimes. I really love it though and definitely felt like it was the one. If you want to see it, let me know and I'll email you a pic. I sent a bunch out already. I also bought the shoes, veil, and tiara. I'm nervous that the dress won't fit when it comes in. They only had it in a size 8 and it was way too big on top, so I ordered a 6. But I have this weird feeling that the 6 will be too small. I'm crossing my fingers that everything will be ok. It will be in on Sept. 24th, so I'll try it on then, and I'll have the shoes to put on with it. I actually found some pretty low shoes... only like an inch high or so. I'm 5'9" barefoot, so I have to be careful not to tower over Matt or have my dress come up off the floor.
My mom also came out to Natick with my sister Sarah and she purchased all of the bridesmaid dresses and a gown for herself. It's exciting. Things are really happening. The next thing I want to do is meet with the florist and find out what our budget is, and see if she can do the lime slices in the vases. I've also been researching different sites that have square vases. Maybe if we buy them elsewhere it will help with the budget and allow us to really make the centerpieces beautiful. The other thing I'm having trouble with is finding favor boxes. Think of a blue Tiffany's box with the cover and everything. I want that style for my favor boxes. The thing is, the going rate is about a dollar per box. Total ripoff. Plus I want to do customized colors, not Tiffany blue or plain old white. If it came down to it though, I could do white and wrap the box with colorful ribbon. I even have instructions on how to make a rose out of streamer paper [thanks Martha Stewart] so that could be a touch of creativity on the box too. I want to think about a lot of this stuff now, because when the school year starts I'm not going to have any free time. I'll be at the elementary school all day and taking night classes after school.
That's all for now... Kody wants some attention. You'd think this dog was abandoned all day...
