one month away!

Today marks one month until our wedding! So much has gone into planning the last three weeks. I went home last weekend and accomplished in a 10 hour day on Saturday what usually takes brides and wedding planners months. No room for indecisiveness!

10 Hour Wedding Planning Saturday:

8:00am : Leave house with my aunt

8:45am : Buy coffee and a bagel

9:00am : Meet "Tom the tent guy" at his store in Media, pick out tables, linens, chairs, flatware and glassware. Rentals done. Check!

10:00am : Plowing through Joann Fabrics looking for material to make table runners. 60% off sale and we have found a gorgeous pattern for $8/yard.

10:45am : We're en route and I'm ordering the fabric sku over the phone with the Exton Joann Fabric. Fabric ordered. Check!

11:30am : Arrive early to our cupcake taste testing in Malvern

11:45am : We're eating DELICIOUS cupcakes and I eventually order 50 Triple Chocolate Ganache and 30 White Chocolate Vanilla Ganache. YUM. (Be excited) "Cake" done. Check.

12:30pm : We're in Downingtown at florist number one. Quote is ok but they won't do a ribbon tie on my bouquet

1:00pm : Florist number 2. Quote is high but I get them down a little and I get a ribbon tie. Chr's boutonniere and my bouquet done. Check!

1:30pm : Quick stop at the house and split a turkey sandwich as we're walking out the door. Protein for sustainability. Check.

2:00pm : Scoop up the children at the pool, Maya shows me how she can do a proper dive off the diving board. Love her.

2:45pm : Maya and I get dropped off at the salon for a trial run of my up-do

3:45pm : Up-do is done, I love it. My hair will be gorgeous. Check!

4:00pm : Go to Produce Junction in Exton, find that there are gorgeous bundles and bundles of flowers for under $5. They have bags of petals for Maya to use. Flowers for bridesmaids and decoration will definitely be bought here. Check!

4:30pm : Mens Wearhouse (or as Maya says – Mens Produce Wear) to pick out the tuxedos. Pick out the design and put together a group number. Boys have until 8/29 to be measured and ordered. Check!

5:00pm : Scoop up Jack from birthday party.

5:30pm : TJMaxx has apothecary jars on sale for $5 and $7 each. Buy three for our candy station. “Favors” will be a treat bag of candy – conceptualized by my wonderful and creative Aunt. Favors decided. Check!

6:00pm : Cracking open well deserved beers!

Sunday was productive as well. I met with our caterer who has a great vision – will turn out perfectly. Also had lunch with my cousin who is going to be our officiate. As always, more details to come!
