Well, with 2011 fast approaching it seems like the wedding will be here before I know it. In a few days I'll be in the same calendar year as Andy and I's wedding!!!
I still have yet to pin down a photographer or DJ which are two high priorities. I have a DJ I like so far but, once again, I'm nervous to go with my gut. I have talked to a few other DJs. Some are waaaaaaaay to cheese ball for me to even want to consider. The guy I'm looking at is very nice and offers some other things like lighting and a slideshow projector. I need to talk to him more and make a decision.
Over the holiday I'm going to take my sister to try on bridesmaid dresses. As she pointed out, this is the only part of the wedding "all about her". haha. She wishes. I'll pick a dress she hates on purpose. (I kid!)
I really am hoping to find 2-3 dresses and let my ladies choose their own. I don't need them as identical twins, just similar. I'm going to start with two places. I'm going to look at dresses at David's Bridal since there's one I really like. As much as I hate it, David's is convenient... I'm also going to find salon's that carry Mori Lee bridesmaid dresses.
My bridal shop carries Mori Lee and gives a small discount on the dresses since I purchased my wedding gown from them. Surprisingly, floor length gowns are in the same price range as David's Bridal?!?!!? Hopefully, one of these two options will turn something up. I'm still a little reluctant to do the bridal shop bridesmaid dresses because you have to order them and wait. David's is off the rack and a little more like a regular store which is comforting. I'm going to wait until I see what dresses they have before I stress about how to obtain the dresses!
And, that's where I stand. Things are going really well. On a side note, take my poll. I just read a post about a bride telling her ladies they couldn't wear their own engagement rings with the bridesmaid ensembles?! I've never heard of such a thing. Just curious where most brides fall on the spectrum!
