Weekend Updates

Well, this was a busy weekend. I finally got measured for my dress AND I chose a color-- woo-hoo! I'm not going to tell the color or post a picture of the dress because there seems to be a general consensus that I keep it a surprise so I will : ). Even my dad was telling me that he wants to wait to see my dress until the day of the wedding (awww). However, if anyone wants a picture just email me and I'll gladly send you a link! So the dress is ordered and should arrive in about four months (not bad, huh?). Oh, I need to make a confession-- when I was at the bridal shop I saw another dress that was very beautiful and I just can't get it out of my mind... mmmm.

I also had a make-up trial with my mom! I thought it went ok. My mom's make-up came out beautiful but I wasn't too crazy about mine. She made my eyes too dark and did not apply enough blush or lipstick. Also, after about seven hours the make-up was nearly gone but I did get a few people saying that I looked really nice today but they couldn't figure out why-- I guess the make-up artist did something good!

And lastly, I met with a florist who was nice but kinda pushy about the kind of centerpieces we should get. He just couldn't understand that I had my heart set on a certain type of centerpiece and that what he was describing I just didn't like. I didn't know how else to say "I really don't like that look". It was really weird-- I get annoyed when vendors want to do something different than what the bride wants. I mean, heck, I'm paying them so they should do what I want! Anyway, I'm debating about possibly ordering flowers online and making the centerpieces on my own (well, with the help of my bridal party (hee, hee)). I have a few ideas already. I'm going to see more florists so we'll see what happens.
