Wedding to do list

I CANNOT believe that my wedding is just 29 days away?! The time has simply flown by. Since I only have a month left to post about the wedding I figure I better get at it. Just for "scrap booking" purposes here is what is left to do on my wedding "to-do" list:

1. Call all unconfirmed guests
2. Make seating arrangement
3. Assemble escort card boards
4. Get Matt fitted for his tux
5. Touch base with Florist, cake baker and Pastor (already confirmed and set with the others)
6. Package pecan favors
7. Force Matt to write his attendant thank you notes
8. Drop shower thank you's in the mail (thank god I have already written them)
9. Set reception agenda with Band
10. Make cocktail hour play list
11. Pick band must play list
12. Pick up my dress from seamstress (day before)
13. Get marriage certificate (we can officially do that now that we are less than 30 days away)
14. Assemble out of town guest bags (Jones soda, cook
ie and info packet)
15. Pay final balances to the courtyard, string trio and
videographer (all the rest are paid)
16. Get buckets from Susie for the sparklers.
17. Last but not least....

Have final meeting with Christiana at the Courtyard. This includes:
Picking final linens
Giving final head count
Making a reception room set up plan
Going over ceremony and reception agendas
Finalizing the menu
Making a vendor contact sheet
Planning vendor meals
Making a ceremony set up plan
Picking our signature cocktail

That's actually not too bad for being 29 days away...I
'm pretty proud of my self. My OCD organization has really paid off ha-ha.

And because no post in complete without a photo, Here are a few pictures of some of the fun wedding extras I have:


This is the antique broach that will go on the stem of my bouquet...it's so beautiful in person, my camera skills just suck ;) Ignore the white string obviously, it's the tag

Again my camera skills suck, but this is the antique broach that will go on the middle of the ring bearer pillow. My mom has hand made the pillow, it is sooo beautiful. Pictures of that to come.


My parasol, that we will be using in some of our photos, then using one of the photos of us with it to have thank you cards printed.


Our favor boxes, that will have Texas candied pecans in them. Alot of our guest are from out of town so we thought a traditional Texas treat would be fun. The little silver charm says "Thank You"


This is what my cake will look like, but with 3 tiers, no polka dots and the ribbon will be black not purple. The flowers will be the same. If you can't tell my colors are black and white with a hint of purple.


This is a really crappy picture of my hair piece, it is super sparkly and has an antique feel like all of jewelry and broaches. Oh and that is NOT how I will have my hair done, I just threw it up to show the barrette.



This is what Matt's cake will look like, can you tell he picked it out? He plays guitar, I think it's pretty cool ;)

  2. You are so on top of things! I will work on printing everything for your info packs once Chris leaves next week (he's actually home for a 3 day weekend... it's a miracle!) I can't wait for your big day. I'm getting so anxious & excited!

    PS: Found the big tubs in the Suz's garage. I'll pull them out for you as soon as I get home!
