Update: Progress is being Made!




We have booked the florist! Woo-hoo! We (well, I...lol) have decided to go with Katie Elfers (Inspired Floral Designs, LLC) as our florist for the wedding. I LOVE her ideas and how she worked with me on a budget. It was far less expensive than I thought it would be and I am getting what I want! PINK ROSES! I love pink and I love roses, so the flowers will be various shades of pink. We are not having a lot of flowers (too expensive for decorations and centerpieces), but what we are having is going to be beautiful. My bouquet will be about 23-25 pale pink roses. My girls will have pink hydrangeas with 3-5 hot pink (fuschia) roses. The moms and his grandmother are going to have pale pink wrist corsages and the cake will have kind of bubblegum colored pink roses on it. I love it and can't wait to see how it turns out! I decided to have the guys go with pink pocket handkerchiefs instead of boutenniers to save some money. I know this sounds like a lot of pink, but the pink will only be in the flowers, handkerchiefs, and ties. The bridesmaid dresses are black and I think I want the groomsmen to wear black vests and then just have the pink tie (between bubblegum pink - fuschia....I'll have to see how it looks) and then the pocket handkerchiefs. Very exciting!

Oh, and we also finished registering. We went to Kohls last night and registered there, although we didn't really register for much. I felt like we did but we didn't ever register for 50 things there. Oh well! I am just done with the whole registering thing.....it's a bit overwhelming. There is so much "stuff". So, I feel like we picked what we needed (and just wanted) and we are now done. I had fun with it, though. I thought it was a good time and Adam didn't complain too much. :-) Until next time........
