I fly out to Portland next Tuesday to attend a business conference for the week. Unfortunately they gave us 6 weeks notice and we already had Friday as a vacation day and meetings with vendors lined up in Detroit. I also have my shower on Saturday. Then I fly back to Denver for 12 hours and go to Memphis for the week to attend a conference. Quite the month!
We are hoping to knock out a lot of items on the checklist while we are in Detroit next weekend, but there have been a few developments. Most importantly, my dress came in!! We're going to a family friend who does alterations out of her house. It sounds like I will go next week to do the initial fitting and I can go again when we get in town the week before the wedding. So excited!
Since we made our own save the dates, we decided we could tackle the task of making our own invites. It seems a bit frightening to design, print and assemble 100 invitations, but I can't find any invitations that I 'love' and this will be almost half the price. Not bad!
We have ideas of what we're going to do but below is a rough example of an invitation I found as inspiration. We're moving in June, around the time we should be making these invites, so it could be interesting....
We decided on flowers! We're going to see some of the arrangements in person next week when we're in Detroit, I'm pretty excited about that.
While coming up with flowers for the wedding, we started throwing in green accents and realized we just made a green and navy themed wedding! I think they are two classic looks and it goes with the water theme of the venue.
That's it for now. This weekend includes Matt watching the masters and I'm going to do some shopping :) Hopefully we don't get more snow next week like the forecast says - I'm over it!
