Crossing Things Off

Good morning! It's the weekend! For once this is actually bad for me because it means vacation is over, but I'm guessing it's good for you so I'll be excited for you guys.

We are in the wedding planning zone down here, crossing things off the list. Maybe I don't love wedding planning but I do love crossing things off any "To Do" list! Anyone with me on this one?

Yesterday we started the day meeting with the florist. Pre-all my friends getting married I'd say I wasn't really in to flowers, but the more weddings I go to the more into them I become. I still don't know the names of most flowers, but I'm completely sold on the insane amount of pink that will be present at my wedding. My mom and the florist had already done most of the work so yesterday we just went through and made a few easy changes. We made my bouquet a bit more hot pink (obviously) and we added some new color to Caroline and Katie's bouquets so they can be a little extra special as my fabulous Maid and Matron of Honor.

Later in the day was the famous hair and make up trial. I actually had a little issue with the woman who was supposed to be doing my hair and make up (as in, I thought we were locked into the date, she didn't, oops), so I switched people and I was very nervous. But like so many near disaster situations like this, the new hair and make up people ended up being great and so fun to work with, which I feel like is key when it comes to your wedding day. I am already high strung enough, I don't need anyone stressing me out!

*If you are attending my wedding and don't want to see what my hair/make up are going to look like, stop reading now!!

Hair Fun:

You get the gist right? Haha. It will look a bit different at the wedding because they will blow out with my hair and all that. Here comes the make up...
(PS. I hate make up haha, but I look more like myself than usually when make up is on me so, I'll take it)

Fun, huh? I'm usually not a huge fan of having my hair and make up done but these ladies were fun and Katie came to offer her educated opinion too so it was just fun times all around.

So this morning is all about paper products- programs, favor cards (we are donating) and place cards. Once we get those done (and invitations sent) we are going to be smooth sailing to July 10th. Wishful thinking?

I still have a lot of big things left like deciding what shoes to wear, getting dress fittings, water bottle labels, bridesmaid and parent gifts.

Right now my top priority is finalizing the ceremony. I can't decide on music because I am torn between taking the easy way and just using traditional music (Here Comes the Bride, Wedding March etc) and using something non traditional that would take more time and effort to figure out.

Also, since I wrote the ceremony myself I'm still fine tuning it. I have two of my cousins doing readings and I'm 100 percent sure on the first one, but up in the air on the second one. Wedding readings are just so CORNY! Anyone have any non corny readings? Please send my way! I'm also debating between just having her do an Irish Blessing and/or adding someone else to do an Irish Blessing.

You know how people write on their resume applications "detail orientated"? I don't. ever. write. that. Kelly = big picture orientated. Can't say I care much about details and weddings = 1 million details. But the good news is, if they aren't done on that day, I won't care. See? I'm easy to please.

Okay time for paper lady. I hope you enjoyed this wedding planning update. Have I convinced anyone to elope yet?

I hope you guys have a great Saturday :)
