Re: August/Summer Brides

I still have soo much to do!! Lets see...
finalize everything (RH, Ceremony, Music, Flowers etc...)
All dress fittings (dress should be in at the end of May)
P/U maid of honor dress (it's in)
Rent tuxes
Favors
Address invites
Buy BM and GM gifts
Book honeymoon
send info to lady who's making my cake topper
Make-up trial (set for Thursday)
Hair trial
DOJ
Shoes
Hair accessories
Finalize guest list
Seating Chart
OOT bags
And a million other things I haven't even thought of yet!!

OH Yeah...my colors...well since my daughter is my maid of honor (she's 9) and the only member of my bridal party I let her choose her dress. She picked the flower girl companion dress to mine so it is ivory. I am using purple/lavender accents around the room and will probably have the tuxes coordinate with that for the GM. Our flowers are purples/hot pink/ and yellow.

Wedding day jewelry
Rentals-we are having the wedding at my aunts house
Finalize menu
Buy booze
Day of shoes

Grooms attire

Luckily I have a wedding planner that is guiding me through everything, but it is so overwhelming. I am having it at my Aunt's house which is such a great spot but, so much has to be done since it is not at a hall.
