Dress Perfection!

I picked up my altered dress yesterday and it fits PERFECT! I cant wait! I did take out the modesty panel because for some reason it made it ungodly hot! I tried everything on with it today and it all looks so nice. The only thing that didnt quite work was the veil. I had such high hopes for it but nope, it didnt work. On to Option B. A gold headband with birdcage veil. So far it looks ok but id have to try it with the dress on to make sure.

I also got the Parties Dresses figured out. It was stressful! Wondering about color, size, beads, shoes! One of my girls showed me the dress and I think it will work nicely. Big Freak Out OVER. Hey, it was my one and only "Bridezilla" moment.

I also started on the Floor Tiles. The gold looks fantastic! The pink? Not so much. Im a little sad by it. Im not sure what ill do.

All in All, with 2 weeks to go, things are really coming together. We have some last kinks to work out but everything is set. Im still sad my family wont be apart of it but I refuse to disobey the LORD and I refuse to deny he told me/us to do this.

Cutest little people!

My mom and I went to Once Upon A Child yesterday and got everyone their little outfits. THEY ARE SO CUTE! One is a white dress, One is a Pink dress, One is tan pants/white shirt and PINK vest! I looked for Gold shoes but they didnt have a huge variety (for the girls and not really brown for the special boy). I am going to add Gold ribbon to the dresses. I also took OFF flowers from the white dress and Im going to dye them with my petticoat and make it my hairpiece! total

I found a rustic looking white chair in the trash for our Foot Washin.

I also found out a block party reception may not work so well but a church friend said we could use their house. We have to wait until we get the official OK in about a week but im pretty excited. This means the reception will turn into more of a dessert reception, but thats ok.

Finally I heard back from the seamstress for alterations- Um, no way! She wants $85 to add the corset back! Ill try myself and just do plan B if it fails.

We got married at my dads church by my dad in 2005. Since it has traded hands since then, we are going to do the ceremony at our new church. We will follow tradition and have Frischs after the Rehearsal. As for a reception, we were leaning towards Steak N Shake (Also a tradition but we did not do last time (went to Lances grandparents)) but feel like that is not where we are being led. We are checking out a possible Park location. The park would add an additional $100 to the budget so that may not be possible but we will see what God has in store.
