Our Married Life

I was checking out The Knot website since they have such great tips and all, I ran across these sample images of centerpieces and bouquets. It goes really well with the orange, red, and fushia themes. I don’t think I will be spending a ton of money on centerpieces, other than the ones that is offered at the country club, but I’d like to at least decorate the head table with some flowers. I read somewhere that Central Market is cheaper than most florists….we will see.

Today we were supposed to meet with a photographer from Bella Pictures to view her portfolio and ask any questions. But of course I never check my voicemail and missed her confirmation call. She never showed up. Is it my fault? Oh well. I think I may need to go by Bridesmart to check out their invitations since they claim I get 40% off.

I also need to call Julie and Yi so we can check out some bridesmaid dresses. I don’t like any of the ones I saw at any of the bridal shops. They’re so ugly. We may just go shopping at the mall and find matching dresses, I’m sure it’s cheaper. I know the tradition is for the bridesmaids to pay for their own dresses, but I just find it difficult to tell them that, especially since I asked them to be in my wedding. We’ll definitely have to work something out. My mom and sister told me to pay for the dresses and skip the attendent gifts. I think that’s a good idea. Either way, I just don’t want it to be a complete financial burden on the bridesmaids as well as myself. We can always rent. Um yeah. Maybe not.

Anyway, I do like the idea of getting the dress from the mall versus the bridal stores (they require too much alterations). I saw some at Jessica McClintock that was really cute! We’ll have to go. I just hate shopping when it’s hot out. So starting in early November, we’ll go. I’ll give you girls a call….
