Wedding Planning with the Moms

This was a crazy weekend! I am still recuperating and catching up on homework (yesterday was a stressful day that included basically only school work from 9am - 10pm, after which of course I watched the Bachelor). My Mom and Suzanne (Alan's mom) were both here this last weekend. Of course I loved every second of it and we got a lot done, but the planning is only just beginning.

One of the weekend's greatest and most exciting finds: BRIDESMAID DRESSES!!!

I also had my first dress fitting. I LOVE my dress. It's brand new and from David's bridal. I would post a picture but I don't want my snoopy fiance to see it!

Surprisingly, the most stressful thing about the weekend was the flowers. I originally wanted daisies and sunflowers, but I've recently been led to believe maybe my taste isn't so great. :( Disheartening. Anyways, I have found a variety of arrangements, and now I just can't make up my mind (because the truth is I'm still maybe a little hung up on my original idea).

Here are my original first choices:

I thought these were perfect! But according to the flower lady, it wasn't the most "traditional" and she would "go in another direction" if she were me. ): ugh. Do you listen to the flower lady with tons of experience, or go with the flowers you imagined for your wedding? Well... I didn't find a few alternatives that would maybe be even cuter. But I'm just not sure yet! So here they are:

Decisions, decisions.


I have recently decided of a fun craft that I want to do. I found it on this fabulous blog!
I want to make a monogram "R" wreath for mine and Alan's house when we get married.

You can also find it on etsy, but I'm a pretty firm believer in not buying anything you can make yourself. Also, I have been creating a wreath for every occasion lately, so I figured I might as well continue the trend. Be looking an "R" wreath coming soon! (Ignore the fact that I won't be able to use it for another 4 months!)

I love wedding planning, but sometimes it isn't very conducive to my schoolwork. Stressing over flower arrangements hasn't exactly been good for my sleep either.

Maybe I won't give up on my sunflower wedding... we'll see!
