It wasn’t such a long time ago that I said, I will, and started the exciting process of planning my wedding. I bought magazines, breezed through bridal shows and debated over roses vs. freesia. The freesia won out because of its heady fragrance, that will drift through the entire wedding day.
We are going to take the aisle flowers from the church to the reception, and with a simple addition of a hanger, they are going to decorate the front of the head table and augment the centre pieces. Brilliant thinking. I was bedazzled at (flowers), where I had the coolest service and walked away filled with great ideas and one more thing ticked off my giant to-do list!
I’m still not certain about the menu for the wedding. My fiancé Jeff and I are still debating roast prime or a medley of chicken, garnished in a Mediterranean- style sauce. That decision is still up for grabs!
My brides maids love me because I decided on a turquoise colour theme, and, now they can choose their own style dress. That way, they will still be able to wear the dress to other celebrations and not curse me when they look inside their closets. LOL
I’ve hired the photographer we were so impressed with; a little photo-journal style and a little traditional. We wanted to share as many family shots as humanly possible, but still have the balance of cool shots that we can look at years from now. Candids are fun too!
I am contemplating a reality-type video, but want to really think about it longer, and the cruise to the Caribbean is locked and loaded. Ah, Jeff, you did it well!
I have a little time now to check out invitations and I hear that trendy vintage is the newest rage in wedding stationery. With our glam- type theme, ( thanks to the Wedding Guide- I saw this when I picked up my guide!)
I’m thinking of another spa appointment soon. I am so pampered and feel so much lighter when I spend an afternoon at Estetica Day Spa in Lakeshore. I started going on a regular basis about six months, as the reality of the wedding started to hit me. I am going there because I wanted a radiant complexion on my wedding day. It’s definitely brighter with the treatments happening and I am loving the new me. The spa is relaxing and I found the occasional massage has certainly soothed out any stresses that I feel coming on. The place is an oasis and I love the atmosphere- so soothing.
Well, I’ve been rambling, but I wanted to start this blogging. The wedding is in October , so there wil be lots more to come as the months get closer.
Signing off!
