So our saga continues. SOOOO much to do, and it seems like so little time! Admittedly, I am quite ahead of the game, so hopefully it all works out, but it seems like I am never going to get all this done!
I have the sketches drawn up for the ceremony and reception setup and lay outs. I have all the different tables sketched out and running lists of the items I need to purchase vs rent.
I have a meeting set up with out caterer to discuss and finalize the menu- more on this later, as well as a meeting with one of the two potential photographers we are going to hire.
I have the guest list mostly done, just need a few revisions. We are trying sooo hard to keep the invitation list under 100, ideally 50 people, but it doesn't always work out that way. I have no desire to invite people just because it is polite or the expected thing to do. There are very specific people I want at my wedding and even more so that I don't, so why waste money, time and effort on these people you could care less about....besides, they don't really want to waste a fall day at your wedding any more than you want to pay for them to be there!
I have the wedding favors, room décor, dessert table, stage area and all that kind of fun stuff figured out with lists EVERYWHERE, with all the things we need to start gathering up, and who is going to be responsible for what.
The invitations are well on their way to being done. I have all the components, I just need to get them put together.
The honeymoon has been DECIDED....more on this later too! :)
So, some of the nitty gritty details are as follows:
Theme: Rustic/ Fall
Setting: Barn
Colors: brown and burnt orange, touches of yellow and burgundy....leafish colors, lots of burlap
There are going to be hay bales and leaves and pumpkins all over the place!
I found an AMAZING local website who rents out all sorts of vintage and totally awesome décor- so she is putting together a price quote for me including antique doors, wine barrels, etc.
I have already purchased some of the fun little things: shepherds hooks- thank you Pier 1 for having EXACTLY what I wanted...."P" stamp and wax for the invitations, twine, quart mason jars, 15 burlap table runners, small galvanized tubs with burlap, and paper straws
I wanna tell you guys all about my ideas and stuff, but then nothing will be a surprise!! Cant have that....
