Hello, everyone! It's been awhile since I've done a wedding update! We have gotten a lot done in the past few months so I wanted to share with you what all has been checked off the list. We are now officially less than eight months to go!
I would love it if you would follow me on GFC or Bloglovin'!
Dress: I said "Yes to the Dress" back in June! I am keeping my dress a secret. That is partly by choice and partly because the store I bought from won't let you take pictures of the dress until it is yours! At first, this kind of made me upset. However, now I like it because I don't have to worry about Tyler accidentally stumbling across a picture of it on my phone! The one thing I will say is this: keep an open mind. The store that I ended up having a top 3 from was the last store we went too. I did not really want to go there, because my sister looked there and had a rude consultant. I ended up making an appointment there, figuring we could cancel it if I found a dress earlier on in the shopping day. I ended up having the best time, worked with most amazing consultant, and found the perfect dress!
Cake: Cake testing, pictured above, is honestly one of the best parts of wedding planning. Many places don't even charge you to sample cake, so I highly recommend going to as many places as possible! We went to three places before selecting our cake. Honestly, not much is different in taste, so for us it was all about price. I was shocked to hear how much cake could cost. One place quoted us at over $800! We have chosen our cake, but will meet with the vendor closer to the day to go over the design. I had not really thought much about it prior to the meeting so we just chose something then based off pictures!
Bridesmaid Dress: I have already done a full post about this, so if you want to read it click here. I chose dresses from Weddington Way and had a very positive experience!
Table Settings: One thing I like about our venue is that we get to choose our china, napkin colors, other things like that. I went to an appointment with my mom back in July and finalized all of those decisions. It was very fun!

This weekend we are tacking flowers. I am hoping the florists we meet with have good ideas because I am not a flower person! I love flowers, but I do not have a favorite flower (and could probably only name like 6 different types). In September we are taking our engagement pictures so I am busy pinning lots of poses I like!
Also, stay tuned to Instagram because a fun giveaway will be announced later today!

I have purchased quite a few of my bridesmaid dresses from Weddington Way the past few years and have had great experiences every time. Sounds like you have crossed a lot of things off of that wedding list of yours!
ReplyDeleteYour wedding will be wonderful. Yum, cake tasting would definitely be my favorite part of planning.

The dress and cake are the best parts of planning! And yes the cost is unreal - anything with the words wedding in front of it is so expensive. The time will go so fast! Enjoy it!

So exciting! You've gotten so many great things checked off your list! Way to go, girl!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like so many big decisions have been made, but I'm sure there's so many small ones too. I've always said that if I'm lucky enough to get married, the best part would be finding a dress and tasting the food!!

Something About That
Looks like you're getting close to ready to tie that knot! So exciting! And I would totally go to multiple places to taste cake as well...might as well get all the free stuff you can before you shell out a bunch for the actual cake!
