Blushing Bride

A-O.K

    We've been given the O.K. to switch the date for our hall rental for our wedding.
    We're between dates. Can't decide between May 29 and June 12 right now.
    I'm going to talk to the caterer on Monday to find out if they're available both dates, and if they're only available one date I guess that's when we're getting married.
    Its weird having to back track on some of these things, but one plus to rescheduling...all those wedding magazines I bought are new again. I'm looking for new colours, flowers, etc so its like I've never seen them before. When I looked at them the first time around I was set on the fall. Spring is so different.

Change of plans...

    There has been a change in wedding plans.  Scott and I have decided to postpone our wedding until the Spring of 2010. I've realized lately that the most important thing to me is to have my friends and family there on our big day...healthy and happy. I also want them there for the Jack and Jill and the bachelor/bachelorette parties, the showers, etc. Its more than just one day.
    With this last month being as hectic as it was, rushing back and forth from the hospital to be there for my loved ones I need sometime to wind down.
    I won't stop wedding planning of course, I just won't be running in fast forward anymore.
    With a new season means new colours and flowers, etc...
    What do you like for Spring?
    We still need to pick a date. Its between May and June right now. Tulips are in May right? I love tulips.

No luck...

    No luck with finding a wedding dress.  I may go back on Sunday if I can arrange it.  I have seven bridesmaids, you'd think one of them would be available to help me shop.  Not yesterday.
    I will probably go to Michael's and pick up some more invitations this weekend. I have to collect my coupons first. Its such a thrill getting something for 40% off.
    What else do I have to do? Everything!
    Other people getting married think I'm so ahead of the game, but I'm not. I need to get organized.
    I'm so disorganized and it doesn't help that I'm the biggest procrastinator on the planet.
    #1: DRESS!
    #2: All the other stuff that needs to get done.

    If you're newly engaged... get a wedding planner.

Dress day...

    Its finally happening.  I'm going to order my wedding dress tonight. I don't know which one it will be but I'm hoping one will knock my socks off and get me to commit to a dress or else I'm going to be walking down the aisle in a paper bag.
    Everyone keeps telling me that's the first thing I need to check off on my list and I know I'm already a couple months behind.  Bridal shops say they like brides to order their dress 9-12 months before the big day... Scott and I are getting married in 6 1/2 months. Time flies way too fast.
    I'll try and sneak a few pictures when I'm trying dresses on.
    I'm hoping the same bridal consultant is working that I saw a month ago. I don't remember which designer makes the dress I like.
    Wish me luck!  : )

The first dance...

    We think we've chosen the song for our first dance.  Its one that isn't very popular but has meaning to us.
I'm just wondering,  what was/is your first dance song?
    I also need to work with my dad to come up with a song for the father daughter dance.
    Any suggestions?

Its been awhile...

    I'm back with wedding plans on the brain.
    Its been awhile since I last blogged.  A family emergency had me thinking of things in the present not making plans for the future.
    I've been spending a lot of time downtown Toronto in recent days. I can't believe how many ideas are swirling in my mind. I just need to take a second and get back on track.
    I haven't looked at my list lately. I need to go and finalize the menu for the reception at the caterers.
    Still happy with our choice to go Ukrainian.
    The inexpensive wedding dress I said I liked but wanted the corset back changed to a zipper... it will only cost $175 to change it. It may even be cheaper.  My mind is so out of whack. I need to pay a visit to try it on again. I should probably put in the order.  I'm a few months behind schedule on that.
    Taking time away from wedding planning has made me realize one thing; stop stressing.
    I wanted everything to be perfect, but really all I care about is having my loved ones there.
    So it may look more wedding-y then I wanted... so what?
    It will be perfect no matter what.
