Haven't done a blog post in quite a while! We have been so busy with shopping for the wedding, going to different decor places, making choices... there hasn't been any time! However, a LOT has been checked off our "to-do list"!!!
I officially have a new nickname given to me by Ryan. He affectionately refers to me as......Bridezilla...aka "Zilla"
When I start to get a little out of hand at our appointments, Ryan starts to sing OUT LOUD, "Zilla, Illa, Illa, eh, eh" (to the tune of Umbrella by Rihanna). Although Ryan himself has become quite picky lately and has been very outspoke at our meetings!!! Love you Honey!
One of the most exciting developments is that I found the most delicious designer based out of Florida and I spent almost two hours on the phone with her designing our flower girl dresses! The designer was great, we were on the phone and she would direct me around the options on her website and gave me a list of things to choose from...everything from the exact bow and sash, flower size and style, to the number of tulle layers! (There are 10 layers to be exact!). It was an amazing feeling to design every single detail about the dresses! Now when I see the dresses, I will know they were my vision!!! The price-tag was a bit of a shocker however, but well worth it!
Since it's been awhile, let me update you on things that have been checked off our list! Oh how I love to check things off!!!
-We have chosen our decor place in Woodbridge after visiting SEVEN different decor places! Oh the stories we have! We met a lot of "interesting" individuals and have stories we will always remember!!! Oh my!
-Thanks to Deanna, we have found our DJ and he has agreed to only play our play list! He has a CD coming out next month and plays a lot of clubs downtown, so we are very excited about him!
-We have chosen our florist and she totally gets my vision. I am beyond excited about our flowers! After visiting 4 different florists, I found that there are a lot of old school florists out there who had NO clue what I was talking about!
-We found a decor centre in Oshawa that rents out the urns that we wanted
-Cake has been ordered (Thanks Mom!)
-Front table design and items have been purchased and rented...We have chosen something very unique for our seating chart so we are totally excited!
- Bridesmaid gifts have been ordered! Can't wait to give them to my wonderful girls!
-Groomsmen gifts have also been chosen!
-We have chosen our photographer but we have decided to do our engagement photos in the spring when the weather gets warmer. She is truly brilliant and her photos are literally some of the best in Toronto...trust me, we've looked!!!
-Ryan has decided on the tux's! The boys will be looking HOT!
I feel like there are a million other things to be done but I am LOVING it!!!
Here is my official motto....
