And They're Off!

I am so excited! Our planners just stopped by to pick up boxes and boxes of various wedding necessities for this weekend - OOT bags, bathroom baskets, flip flop basket, candy & candy bowls, pictures, votives, ring pillow, guest book, flower girl basket, etc. They're all out of here and I can finally breathe a little easier!

I can't believe the day is almost here. Only 3 more days to go and it looks like it's gonna be a gorgeous weekend. Keep your fingers crossed for me :)

Crunch Time

Just for the weekend. I'm not going for good or for an extended period of time or anything...

It's the final weekend before the wedding and we have a lot of last minute things to take care of. Good thing we can do a lot of the things indoors because Tropical Storm Danny is going to make for a pretty rainy weekend.

Projects include making a photo list, ordering prints from the E session to display at the reception, putting vacation photos in frames for table themes, deciding which other photos to display, tracking down more frames, writing the sizes on the flip flop hang tags, labeling water bottles & chocolates, deciding attendant walking/standing order, write thank you notes for OOT bags, starting to assemble OOT bags & attendant gift bags, buy maroon colored M&Ms for cookie table (I know it's a cookie table but we wanted to give some candy away too :)), and possibly, if the labels and bags come in today, we'll put the monogram labels on the cookie bags.

Quite a lot to do but I know I'll feel so much better after we accomplish all of this.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Treats For Our Sweets

I've been totally consumed these past few weeks with all the little details that will make our guests feel comfortable, happy & extra spoiled. Be it the NY themed out of towner gift bags (I'd love to add this cute cookie favor above from One Girl Cookies. I'm totally obsessed with all things NY and I'm even going to add little Bacardi Big Apple Rum bottles), the flip flop & bathroom baskets (J thinks I'm crazy wanting to add makeup remover & cotton balls and hair gel. She doesn't think that people will really need that stuff at the wedding) or the ever expanding cookie table (originally we were just going to do our sugar cookie recipe as a favor but now it's expanded to Jen's family's Norwegian Krumkae and my family's Greek Koulourakia and we'll probably have some maroon & possibly aqua or teal colored m&ms in cookie jars on the table too).

I swear the more time you have before the wedding actually happens, the more things get added to the list! I'm just hoping that all of our guests have a wonderful time and like all the extra treats.

Dreaming of a White Wedding

Happy Monday! We got a lot accomplished this weekend so I'm feeling pretty good today. We made the bouquet charms, spray painted the frames that we're going to put the table names in gold, tied all of the flip flops in burgundy & teal ribbon & glued aqua swarovski crystals onto the burgundy escort cards. Not bad, not bad. And tonight is a big night because we have the flower sample and we'll finalize the linens. I've been waiting for this for months!

Unfortunately, we missed another gorgeous beach weekend because we were so busy with wedding tasks again. And I just keep findind myself wishing the summer away. It's got me thinking that maybe we should have planned a winter wedding so we could have enjoyed the summer. It's our favorite time of year after all. But what's done is done and it's almost here and it's gonna be amazing!

Check back tomorrow for more engagement pix!

Dancin Feet Treats!

I mentioned this yesterday but I wanted to get your opinion on the matter. This past weekend we decided that we'd like to offer our guest some comfy dancin shoes since we really want everyone on their feet dancin the night away at our big bash.

So on Saturday we headed on over to Old Navy and picked up a little over 30 pairs of black flip flips in various sizes. Now the thing that I'm a little unsure about is this....Is it ok to only offer the girls flip flops or is this something that we need to provide the men with as well? Also, we didn't buy a pair for every single female attending the event. We figured we'd get a pair for half the number of women we expect to attend since not every person is going to want to change their shoes.

We're planning on leaving the flips in a basket in the women's restroom kind of as an "in case of emergency" thing.

So what do you guys think? Is it ok to not offer this to every guest? Do you think that everyone will feel entitled to a pair? Are any of you offering your guests dancing shoes?
