Change of plans

Obviously we have been changing somethings around because it would be too easy to pick one thing and stick to it. I'm pretty nervous about the Lilac washing my Bridesmaids out. So I think I am going to go with Wisteria instead. It is a purple pink. I know that I hate pink, but I love this color. I've also decided to only go with style number 83312. Does this mean I will never change me mind again? I don't know, but I am going to try had to stick with it so I can start thinking about flower girl dresses, centerpieces, decorations, etc. :) Although, I do have my eye on a very special bridesmaid dress. If it gets marked 1/2 off sometime in the next six months that it WILL BE the bridesmaid dress. :) Check it out!

I OWN A WEDDING DRESS

I got my dress :) Yay!!!!!! I am soooo excited. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. There are so many dresses to choose from and my dress is PERFECT!!!

I can not wait till Zach see's it. However, he must wait until August 13, 2011 at 1:00pm :)

Yummy

We are going cake tasting on Friday at 1:00pm @ Michael Angelo's Bakery in Broadview Heights. So excited. Our cake is actually included in the cost of our hall, but we aren't sure if we want to go with their cake. I love Michael Angelo's so we are going to see what they have before we make a commitment to the hall. If we chose not to go with the Halls cakes we do get money back. I have some ideas of cakes we want and like. So we shall see.

Wedding Website

Our wedding website is under construction. My goal is to be finished by 8.13.10. I think it is possible. Zach even contributed on the website a little bit. I am glad he likes being involved in the process with me even if he does get frustrated from time to time. I know there are some things he could care less about, but it is nice to know he cares enough about me and makes me happy even when he isn't thrilled.

Bridesmaid Dress

I spent the morning with Carolyn running errands. Not only did we have time to see my dress, but we also had time to pick out bridesmaid dresses which was super fun. Although the lady at David's Bridal sucked. After contemplating on where to buy dresses I decided on David's Bridal mostly for the Convenience factor. I do like the dresses they are simple and pretty. I went with my gut and picked the color Regency which is a true purple. So here they are:Option Number One and Option Number Two.

Purple and Orange

Yay! We finally decided on wedding colors. We had been going back and forth between orange, yellow, and green. Tonight Zach brought home daises for me and they were PURPLE and ORANGE and seeing them together really made me excited. Imagining those colors all over the hall made me happy & excited. I am sure I will be incorporating a lot more purple and different shades than orange, but I'm loving the colors.

Engagement Pictures

Thankfully my matron of Honor (my best friend and sister too) took all of our engagement pictures in Charlotte, North Carolina over the weekend. They came out great. I love them. My sister really did an amazing job. Even though I am her baby sister I am so very proud of her and her photography goals she has set for herself. Check out her website.

And Go....

Last Saturday Zach and I took our parents to the "potential" hall and we tasted the food. It was no Michael Simon cusine, but it was good for wedding food. Zach and I love the atmosphere it is EXACTALLY what we wanted, so the fact the food was good really worked out. So it's offical WE HAVE OUR HALL! My parents signed the contract today and we are good to go! I am so excited

Church - CHECK
Hall - CHECK


Now that we have the TWO MOST IMPORTANT THINGS done I can start organzing the smaller things and calling people and getting quotes.

We are also still working on wedding colors. Obviously we are doing purple (true purple), but we are having trouble deciding what we want to pair it with. I need a sign, a vision, an omen something :) HELP!

15 Things

I found this in the July issue of Brides Magazine. It made me laugh and #8 is far from the truth. I hope my sister is pregnant :) The rest of them I am pretty sure my friends would do without me having to tell them what makes a "perfect bridesmaid," because they all already are. Love you guys :)
