Friday Inspiration!

I'm getting very excited to go home... only 6 more days! My wonderful mother just booked 2 appointments with makeup artists so that helped me out a lot. I've really wanted to use airbrush for my wedding, but the more I think about it, the more I want to stay more natural. On another note... I caught up on a lot of my blog reading today and I have an inspirational board that has provided yet again more ideas for the big day.
I absolutely love the green martini with the pink backgroun. Since we are doing vinatinis, I wonder if I can lay down some pink fabrice so the green of the martini will pop like this picture. Another thing I took from this board was the green tie. I've been thinking this whole time that I want to go with pink ties for the groom, but maybe I'll do green. I'll have to take a closer look at that once the girl's dresses come in.

The weekend is here and I must...really I must... get a lot done. Mr. Groom has a work function on Saturday that he needs my help with, but when I'm not helping him, its wedding planning time. I'm putting this in writing so that I feel guilty if I don't get it done: I will finish my save the dates this weekend! I also need to make an appointment with a french bakery in Paso to discuss my dessert bar. I need to pack for home, which consists of doing a ton of laundry and dry cleaning. Most important thing I need to do is exercise. I am only 2 pounds away from my original goal and i know its going to take a lot of work so I better get my butt in that gym.

TGIF!

Crunch Time.. almost

With almost 6 months left to plan and only one more visit home before the big day, I'm feeling a little anxious. To some, 6 months might seem like a long time, but since I work at an accounting firm, I will be out of commission from Feb 1- April 15th. This means I better get most of the planning done before Feb 1. I'll be leaving for California next Thursday and I need to make a few appointments before I get there. I would like to set up an appt with a makeup artist, the bakery, the officiant and purchase all my vases for the centerpieces. Other things I need to accomplish include: finishing my save the dates (I have about 40 left to do), get Mr. Groom's finger sized to order his ring, and to get a hold of my florist to finalize the flowers.

Besides stressing myself out worrying if ill get everything done, I'm so excited because the reason I'm going home is to attend the wedding of my dear friend Kim. I also will be celebrating my bridal shower that my wonderful mother is putting on for me. It will be a great week and lots of fun events, but I do wish Mr. Groom could come :( This will be the first Thanksgiving we will be spending apart. I've already planned a thanksgiving meal for just the two of us the wednesday before I leave home. We'll be able to have our own little mini turkey day.
