Bride Brain

My brain is OFFICIALLY in "Bride Brain Mode". Bobby and I spent a good 4-5 hours today working on the logistical stuff for the wedding. Started the seating arrangements as best we could with people we KNOW for sure are coming and most likely will be coming. We wanted to get a bit of a head start on that (before we have received everyone's RSVP) so we did a first run, which I must say went pretty well and wasn't TOO much of a headache. We have it pretty well figured out so we will see how and if things change as the responses come in.

We also had to fill out our photography questionnaire and photolist. That wasn't too bad, although the photo list got to be a headache give our family situations. Yes, people should suck it up and just stand there for a picture, but we want the pictures to portray happiness too so we just split some of them up haha Makes it easier on everyone and still works.

On the questionnaire it asks for MUST have pictures for the ceremony, pre-ceremony, etc...those were HARD. I have a pinterest board full of wedding photos I love that our photographer has looked at so I trust that she will capture all of the moments we want. I just hope I am not completely overlooking something obvious by overthinking it! If anyone has any photo suggestions do let me know ;)

Wow, typing it out it doesn't sounds like we did a whole lot but it definitely took forever and felt like a lot. It was all really important logistical things that needed to be done though and I am glad they are done!

Our coordinator is working on the day of timeline as we speak so having the timeline down will be the most important part. Things are coming together so that is definitely a relief.

My next dress fitting is a week from today up north. DREADING having to drive up there again though ugh. Really excited to see my dress with my veil and bustle though and bring it home! Praying there won't need to be any more alterations because I REALLY don't want to have to drive up there again it is SUCH a pain in the butt. I will also get all of the random decor that is still up there and the rest of the gifts from the shower that didn't fit last time.

36 days to go!

Save Our Date!

Our save the dates came today!!! Now THAT was an exciting package to get! We had a slight ordeal with our save the dates. We had ordered some from Wedding Paper Divas, and we got them last friday...we weren't impressed and didn't like them so we returned them and ordered our new ones from Minted. LOVE them. We are so happy with them and can't wait to get them out to everyone! My goal is to have them out by the end of the month/beginning of February! Our big day is getting closer!

And omg the coolest thing ever happened yesterday. We had the Travel Channel on in the background and I was doing something on the computer and I glance up and right away recognize the place on tv...it was RANCHO LAS LOMAS our wedding venue! WHAT?! I about flipped, that is NOT something you ever expect to see on tv! It was on a show called Last Resorts, showing amazingly beautiful resorts all over the world and OUR wedding venue made the list! Now that just made my life and made me SOOO happy we picked my dream venue and went with our hearts and even more excited FOR our big day! We are just under 7.5 months! Eek! :)

Thought that was an awesome touch :) 

highly recommend Minted for any stationary!

That's it until I get them sent out ;)
