I really can't complain with the wedding planning. Things have gone smoothly {knocking on wood}. But the closer we get to the wedding date the more busier we are becoming with everything. The wedding invitations have gone out and we are waiting on response cards. The deadline for those is March 10th {only 2 weeks away} and we are still waiting on more than half to respond! I even paid for the return so not sure why they are waiting until the last minute. Soon after the deadline we will finalize everything with Elmwood Gardens, the caterer, and the florist.
Speaking of florist {we met with her on Feb. 1 and just love her to death, oh and she's from California}…who knew fresh flowers could be so expensive! I do have lots of areas with the florist to tweak and save money, also with the caterer, so as of right now I am just a little over my budget.
Sunday, Kalli and I went to Dallas to shop for her bride's maid gifts, and for my wedding attire with not much luck. I am hoping by next month they have a bigger selection of springy outfits. Since it's a garden wedding I think I can get by with something that I can wear again. Kalli had her last dress fitting Monday, and the dress fit perfectly! They are steaming, pressing, ironing it out, and we pick it up March 7th.
This Saturday is Kalli's first bridal shower. The aunts on her side of the family are hosts. We are so excited! I will be too busy to take photos but one of her bride's maids loves to take photos and has taken on the task of doing just that. As soon as I have them from her I will post here.
So exciting!!!!
