Wedding Update

So, it's been a while since I posted an update on the wedding plans.

Eric's mom has ordered all of the supplies for the invitations. The last thing we are waiting on is a specialty cutter thing - I can't remember what it's called - that comes in on the 14th or so. Then we can officially start putting all the invitations together. It's turning out to be a lot cheaper than just ordering pre-made invitations.

The tuxedos have been selected. They are going to look really nice - the groomsmen will have black jacket/pants/tie, ivory shirt, and periwinkle vest. I think it's going to look really good. And then Eric will have black jacket/pants, ivory shirt, and ivory vest. The ivory on ivory looked really good. I'm not sure what he's going to do about a tie - either black or peri I guess. And the ushers will have just a basic black on ivory tux.

All the supplies for the centerpieces have been ordered and should be in - the mirrors came in yesterday, I think the floating candles are coming in today. All the vases are being stored at my grandmother's house.

I picked out my shoes yesterday. I will have to order them and I'm really hoping that I am able to wear these shoes all night without killing my feet. I'm not concerned about the heel, just my toes getting squished. I guess we'll just have to see! And I'll have to get a more comfy, back-up pair just in case! Here is a picture of the shoes - which will be dyed ivory.

Wedding Prep

My mom came over today so we could dye more of the flowers that will be used for the centerpieces. I only ended up having about half of the total flowers that I needed, so we'll be heading back to Michael's to pick up another bundle of fake flowers. Each rose flower can be pulled apart into 3-petal pieces - which fit nicely into the vase and give it some depth instead of individual petals just stacked on top of each other in the vase.


We has two cans of spray paint: one navy and one blueberry, which matches the periwinkle color of the dresses.


We alternated petal colors, to give the vase a variety, instead of a layered look.


I only have one completed centerpiece. All the vases have been bought and are being stored over at my grandma's house. I still need to find a floating candle to use. The one in the picture below is too small and it's white. I need an ivory colored one.
