So many things to post!
* Last week, Lisa and I got all of the invitations put together and sealed in envelopes. So yesterday at lunch, they went out in the mail!! :-)
I also got my flower test shipment from 2G Roses and they were gorgeoous! Lisa and I learned to wire and tape flowers, and our efforts turned out nicely. The only thing that went bad with the flowers was that the centers of the daisies were greenish yellow - they weren't really yellow enough until last night. So I may call them on that - to make sure that they can be a little more open and yellow for the actual weekend :-) We definately liked the Blue Bird lavender roses and the Bridal White white roses :-) We may also have to have some Lavonne lavender because they don't have blue bird in the shorter rose lengths (read: the long ones are $22 for 25 roses and the short ones are $14.... for boutineers and stuff that will be cut down anyhow, that's a waste!)
* Then on Saturday, Eric and I went and started the tux ordering process. Eric even got measured :-) He's gonna wear a silver vest and bow tie, and everyone else will wear white bow ties and cumberbunds. I hope it all looks okay!
* We tried to go and look at wedding rings, but the store closed right before we got there. We kinda want to go to Runyans in Camas because that's where my engagement ring is from.
* Yesterday, Megan and I went and looked at the wedding cakes at Safeway. We decided on the Camas Safeway instead of the new Heritage Market Center Safeway because the baker at HMC had only done a few wedding cakes. This is the design we are going with:
* I made quite the barrage of updates to the wedding page yesterday - this way it will be in perfect order for visitors - all map cards have our webpage address on them :-)
* Last week, I scheduled my first fitting appointment - that will be this wednesday evening.... I feel like I should be not eating for a few days so I'll be perfectly skinny for the fitting. I sure hope I fit - its been almost 2 mos since I tried it on... and I haven't been super unhealthy, but I haven't been very good about my diet lately. And my situp plan wasn't as successful as it should have been <.g>
* Megan and I made another attempt on the photographer front. <.sigh.> I am SO frustrated with that.
I think that's all for the moment :-) I'm sure there's more, just by looking at my list, but that's all I have time to blog about!!!! :-) Posted by kristine at June 27, 2000 05:59 AM
