Another shopping trip accomplished! After my dr. appointment yesterday, mom and a reluctant Matthew joined me in some shopping :-) We found some great deals at Michaels. We bought a whole bunch of sheer organza ribbon, for the flowers, the decorations, and the invitation/program tying. We have teeny tiny lavender, a little wider yellow and white, and a wide yellow and white. They will look gorgeous :-) We also got tulle - both for my veil, which we have decided to try and make, and for some decoration places - I need to investigate the church and find out exactly where the decorations can go :-) We need a place for a head flower decoration and the unity candles, and I haven't looked at the front of the church enough yet to know how that will all go :-) The tulle will also turn the center aisle into a beautiful floaty place, with tulle between each of the seats like this:
(remember that this is a rough sketch, and is not by any means the end quality/beautfy of the attempt LOL!)
We looked at some flower arranging items, as well - but we aren't exactly sure what to get yet - I know we need floral tape and wire, but there were a lot of different kinds to choose from :->
Then, we went to Paper Zone and found all of the invitation paper, envelopes, and velum that I'll need for both the invitation and the program. I really would like to use a calligraphy pen to write names on the envelopes, but my mom is afraid that it will take too much time. I really liked how it looked when Shannon did it though :-)

That's all for now - will post more when I go through the rest of the bags in case I missed something!! Posted by kristine at April 19, 2000 11:09 AM
