Hi April 2011 Brides,
Are you getting nervous yet?!?
I would love the hear about your weddings colors, themes, dresses, etc...
What are you currently working on? What do you have left to do at this point??
Me!!
I've just about finished flowers and the cake topper, and FI and I decided to not do favours, which is going to save me so much time!!
Colours : Plum, light blue, silver, and kinda a rustic theme. I have no dress pics :(
I think I'm mostly just excited to get this all over with and stop planning wedding stuff!
Im fixing to start working on our table runners...we are using burlap and im sewing lace on the edges. We will see how it turs out! I need to finish getting my BM gifts and get our parents something.
Colors: Brown, Ivory, and a little gold
What about you, what do you have left?!
Ohh we have to get clothes for HM and rehearsal dinner!
I need to do my hair piece and matching brooches for MOG and MOB. Got my brooch bouquet done. Music list done and downloading has begun. Lights are strung up, flowers ordered...most everything is done! Theme is casual elegance (lots of mason jars, pretty strung lights, spring colors, white, picnicky feel)
here is dress (I apologize for the lovely no makeup pic):
My colors are green, brown, and orange. My theme has a vintage feel with a modern, chic twist.
I have my final dress fitting on April 2nd...eeek!
My RSVPs have started coming in...I have 40 people confirmed so far! YAY!
I am currently working on escort card designs, card box ideas, outfit and location for rehearsal lunch, and I think that's about it!
April brides, our wedding month is almost here! YAY! : )
We're getting married on a deck in the woods and having a picnic reception on a peninsula, this grassy spot surrounded by water. Picture picnic blankets on the ground, kites flying in the air, croquet, bocce ball, a barbecue lunch with a smorgasboard dessert table.
The colors/theme is simple woodsy elegance: we're having white be the main color with bright yellow flowers, kraft paper and jute for paper things, decorating with cotton bolls and forsythia branches, candles in mason jars on beds of spanish moss.
I just have to get my dress altered, decide on my hair style, buy a bracelet, meet with the photographer, design and put the programs together, and then make my bouquet/do flower arrangements the day before the wedding. Oh! And make almond tarts for the favors. My grandma makes the BEST almond tarts and always gives them as gifts to everyone; since she isn't able to make the wedding, we're using these as favors to honor her!
...And I think that's it. : )
@BackyardLoveBird: Gorgeous dress!
I am doing a brooch bouquet too! Do you have a picture of yours??
@Topolino: Thank you! I do have pics. It's rudimentary since I still need to wrap the bottom. Also ignore the left part of it...it looks like it needs to be filled in, but just didn't picture well (cell phone). Oh, and ignore my mess! Do you have pics of yours?
@BackyardLoveBird: It looks great so far! I love all the colors!
Here is mine...
@Topolino: LOL I just found your post on your bouquet! We cross posted! I LOVE it! It looks fabulous!
What an exciting time! 25 days to go for me!
We are currently working on our ceremony order/readings/vows, music selection, selecting the rehearsal dinner spot, wrapping gifts, and I think that might be it. Could be missing something though?! ; )
Our colors are going to be gold, bright pink, and some green. Here are some pics.
(not our actual cake just the flowers I loved and will be using)
these are the bridesmaid dresses
Me at my first fitting :)
April 9 bride here!
I am getting super stressed out. There is still so much to do! And work is super stressful right now, too.
Our colors are red and ivory. I never had the teary eyed "this is the one" dress shopping experience, so I actually got two dresses. I will have my second fitting for my second dress on Friday, and the second fitting for my first dress on Sunday. Also, some little bird told me that Saturday might be my bachelorette party. This weekend will be crazy!
I am still waiting on RSVPs, our deadline is Saturday. We need to get cake samples from the bakery to choose the flavor, we need to pick up our wedding bands, I need to chase down my MIA make-up artist, because she was going to send me an invoice that I haven't received yet. I need to send out thank you notes for my shower. On Wednesday, I am getting my first spray tan and hope I don't turn orange. We need to meet with the venue and go through the details. I need to make the seating chart. The florist needs a final head count for the number of centerpieces... Well, I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
@Topolino: I see you're from Homosassa..I live in Inverness. :)
@BackyardLoveBird: beautiful dress!
@soon2bhis: I agree! I'm ready for it to be done!
We're having a purple/white wedding. Basically I just have to do the little detailed things. Unfortunately it seems whenver I complete a few, more get added on. lol.
I feel like there's a lot more I'm forgetting!
@BackyardLoveBird: haha! I saw that!
I am kinda sad that my brooch search is over! I had a blast hitting flea markets, antique stores, etc...
@Mindiana Jones: Your dress is gorgeous!
@AprilJo2011: Good luck with your final details...don't stress too much! :)
Let me know how the spray tan goes! I was thinking about doing this as well!
@Mindiana Jones: Thanks! :)
@als87: No freaking way!!! We are practically neighbors! I was actually just in Inverness today!! Where are you getting married?
@Topolino:I know. I love going to antique stores and this was the perfect excuse. Right now is perfect antiquing weather too...sigh.
@BrightYellowGaloshes: Your wedding sounds amazing! I love the picnic theme...so different!
@Mindiana Jones: Haha! I know, right? I was just reminded that I still have to do programs!
@Topolino: I will definitely let you know if I come out looking like an Oompa loompa. I'm a bit nervous, because I have very fair skin.
@Mindiana Jones: Beautiful!
@Topolino: HAHA, I know I couldn't believe it when I saw homosassa. We're getting married at Black Diamond in Lecanto
I CANNOT believe how close it is! Every day I'm in shock just a little bit more!
I'm bad- because lately I have been ignoring my to-do list. I don't even open it. Very bad!!!
Ohh I have brooch bouquet envy. Those are really beautiful. I am having a white/black/red/ silver 15th anniversary with a vintagy feel. I still have tons to do. The good thing is invites are out and so far I have 31 rsvps. heres my list:
finish curtains for pipe and drape with chandeliers(3)
Menus
take out boxes for candy buffet
playlist for dj
signs for all the jars ect.
shot list for photographer
adjustments to flowergirl dresses.
my dress alterations
I know there is more but my notebook is upstairs.
my wedding is april 9th. only 26 days away. Almost done with everything. Gave a few tasks to my mother who is gonna wait till the last minute Im sure.
My fiance and I are waiting till 2 weeks out to do our favors/ placecard boxes cause they will have home made chocolate dipped fortune cookies which can get stale if we do them too soon.
Other then that, just logistical planning. All of my vendors tell me I am the most organized bride. I don't know if that is code for "bossy" or "bitchy" but I don't care, I take it as a compliment.
oh - forgot to say Im doing a DIY wedding in DC during the cherry blossom festival. My theme is cherry blossoms and my colors are pink and brown.
@als87: I looked up Black Diamond...its gorgeous!!
We should arranged a Central Florida Bees lunch!! There has to be more of us!! Maybe in Tampa, Orlando, and Ocala?
Man, there are a lot of April 30 and April 9 brides!!
Im April 16th!!
I have my bridal portraits tomorrow!! woohoo! all dress fittings are DONE!
picked up the marriage license today
did a ceremony/reception walk through last week
approved the centerpieces/florals for the big day
picked our first dance song/ceremony song list
im currently working on the must play and do not play for our band
I still have to do really simple programs...if anyone has any ideas I would truly appreciate it!
I also need to buy a rehearsal dinner dress...and I have no idea what Im going to wear for my shower this saturday :(
Man, there are a lot of April 30 and April 9 brides!!
April 2nd here! 19 days... almost 18 days- AH!!
Our colors are Tiffany Blue/Aqua and white. Still some loose ends to tie up, still need to do my hair trial (I already booked my stylist, but my schedule has been crazy), finish bridesmaid fittings (trouble with our bridal shop that we ordered/getting alterations through), finish our timeline and find indoor/outdoor locations for our pictures! Please pray for decent weather :) - as in Missouri we received 2-3 inches of snow this morning with a forecast of 70 for Thursday! I'm sure there are a bunch of other little details, but those are the main ones.
We are getting so close April 2011 brides!
@efitzger: I have received the "you are so organized" as well... Definitely take it as a compliment!
I'm April 2nd too! I have to get with my photographer and finalize our must haves, pick up our marriage license (he's out of town so we can't do this until next week), finish paying for food, and a couple little odds and ends.
My colors are pool blue, ivory, and emerald green.
My bouquet (needs wrapped)
My decorations before I finished the small ones. I'm thinking of changing the green ribbon out for a lace one. The hurricanes and stuff in the middle are for the ceremony.
My White by VW
@reinab505: I'm loving your dress!
April 16th Bride!!
We're having a pink & grey with hints of champagne wedding. I have plenty left to do lol. "Unfortunately it seems whenver I complete a few, more get added on" ditto lol
I feel like there's a lot more I'm forgetting as well.
Wow. Just reading this made me realize how far behind I am. Like another poster said, once I get something big knocked out, I'm back to realize what a HUGE list I have waiting on me!!
I'm sick of planning and just ready to change my last name!!
