You ladies are the best... when I wrote that the other day I was like "AAARRRHHHHH" bc we were in vendor meeting after vendor meeting. I couldn't remember the details even though I put them into my iPad after each meeting. I liked a photographer and for 3 days before we officially booked them I could not think of the name of them! LOL
I am feeling sooo much better now. Our wedding will be towards the simple side, the hall speaks volumns, it's gorgeous, that is big bc I don't need ceremony anything but the JP and to write up our ceremony. The DJ does a ton of work and is sooo organized that I think he'll be VERY beneficial. I don't need to coordinate guests or rides or anything. My gown was fun, cake tasting will be fun, and my ring was easy bc it's the matching one to my engagement ring. So it's already picked out for me. Now that the hall, photographer & DJ are secured, I feel so much better. A friend is making simple invitations so we'll save money there. We'll print out stuff for us and I have good simple, elegant ideas for the favors & centerpieces.
We made 78 8oz jars of homemade grape jelly from the grapes we grow in our yard!! Its our favors. They are awesome! We are going to make stickers which we will print ourselves with our names and wedding date and tie a ribbon around the covers, thats it. I have winter to do that. Centerpieces, there are only 10 tables I think so the centerpieces will be empty cleaned wine bottles that I will spray paint with chalkboard paint. I will then put some sort of long steam flower on them and glue some wide purple ribbon right around the neck with our names and wedding date written on it. Then we will write the name of the table, which each table will be a wine name, on it with chalk. That is it.
Ive got lots of ideas....
Will just keep it simple and use stuff I have to help and save money!
