What are August girls up to?

Re: What are August girls up to?
I'm super behind, but....
-I'm starting to print my DIY invitations and once those are printed I'll then assemble them, so I can send those out early next month.
-I'm also trying to think about decor, the larger aspects like flowers, aisle runners, candles, draping fabric, etc. I am so lost when it comes to decor and decorations but people who have amazingly decorated weddings, the photographs always seem more stunning and it really changes the reception you get from the guests!
-I have to talk to my bridesmaids about hair, shoes and jewelry.
-I still need to find someone for my hair and makeup.... argh!!!
-FH and I have to look for wedding bands. we looked all over and neither one of us has liked ANYTHING. any advice from the other august girls on this one?
-Cake
-Favors
-Shoes and Veil
are both also on the newest to-do list

Re: What are August girls up to?
My list is pretty much the same as yours mermaid20, except I still haven't ordered my invites.
I'm also having a tough time finding wedding bands we like.![]()
