So this past weekend was chalk fun of planning excitement! On Friday afternoon we met up with my bridesmaid Kristin and she took some engagement shots for us. They came out beautifully! We got them on Saturday afternoon and have enjoyed looking through them everyday since. Then on Saturday we had three appointments booked with different venues. The first two were very pretty with a very hefty price tags. One place had a $7,000 minimum for the food portion. Where do people get off?!?
We also had some time to look at florist is the area to get an idea of what that was going to cost us. We made an appointment with one for the end of the month and the other place gave us ball park figures. I can't believe how much it costs for a centerpiece of daisies. So I have basically decided that the centerpieces will be DIY : )
The last two places we checked out were perfect. They were within our budget and very nice. One venue we can have both the ceremony and the reception at which I absolutely love. I have pretty much fallen in love with this place and will sacrific what's needed to make it work : ) We have another alternative that we are looking at but hopefully my the end of next month we will have made a decision and a deposit on our venue(s).
I also had a mini little freak out on Sunday. I told my mom about the site that I love and she looked at me as if I told her the wedding was going to be a million dollars. I'm not expecting her to foot the bill but with her reaction I started feeling as if I was selfish and got down on myself. Poor Bill had to deal with me but talked me down and after wallowing for a day I woke up this morning in a better mood with some great ideas.
Not too much on the planning schedule this week. I looked up some ideas for centerpieces today and saw some invitations that I love so as soon as we book our venue I'll get those rolling. Granted it is sixteen months away but I guess it can't hurt to have it done : ) I might go the the Dollar Tree tomorrow before work and pick up a few things to see how my ideas will work out. Other than that I think I'm gonna catch up on some magazine reading. I've got six that have been neglected because of the busy weekend.
