This week was sooo flat out for me. Every day I did something wedding related. Tomorrow is Julien's bday so i'm taking a day off wedding planning.
Monday:
I went to the florist and have pretty much finalized all the flowers. I'm having ivory roses for my bouquet with those small green gum nut balls (don't know what they are called!) underneith it. The bridesmaids are having the same, but smaller and the green things between the roses. Kind of hard to explain and I don't have any piccies.
We have decided not to have a long head table at the reception. I really hate the idea of having this for a few reasons. 1. I don't want to be on display, 2. Some guests get intimidated talking to people on the long head table, 3. There are only 6 of us to sit on the head table. So we have decided to have a round table instead, between all the other tables. Our table will have the same centerpiece as all the regular tables, but it will be a larger floral arrangement. I'm really happy with this decision.
Tuesday:
My sister had her third bridesmaid dress fitting (one more to go). The dress looks stunning on her. My other two bridesmaids are having their dress fittings next week. They are all getting slightly different dresses made to suit their body shape/personalities. They are all the same colour/fabric though.
My mum had her first dress fitting (with a different dress-maker). Not sure how her outfit will turn out, she's really worried. The dress-maker is a bit hard to deal with and wants to do things her way. I'm sure it will all turn out okay though!
Wednesday:
I had my dress fitting. I'm getting small removable cap sleeves put on to my dress for the synagogue. We have decided to use my veil instead of getting material as it's diamond white (hard to find fabric in this shade of white). So I have just bought another veil on ebay (same one). The sleeves look really cute on my dress. Sooo much better than the bulky white coat I original bought to wear! My dress is getting pulled in and shortened. I get to pick it up in 2 weeks, yay =)
Thursday (today):
Suit shopping all day long arrhhh (Jules was stressed!). He bought a gorgeous brown suit for his call-up. We also went to the hiring place to find a suit for him & his boys to hire. They are all going this saturday to order them and have their first fitting done. They will be choosing between these two suits (but will have white shirts, different ties & no vest):
*yawn* i'm so tired and over wedding shit! It consumes your whole life. I can't wait till things are normal again!
