All of you Bostonians are well aware that this past weekend was a holiday- yes, a lovely three day weekend in honor of the Marathon. This bride to be did not actually run in the race but I did do a little marathon planning.
With 4.5 months to go I’m beginning to get nervous that not everything will fall into place and I’ll run short on time. So with check list in hand the hubby to be and hi went into a planning frenzy.
First up, the tables- we decided to skip the floral centerpieces and try something different.
The place cards are actually sanddollars, real beautiful sanddollars that I found online! And our wonderful stationary girl will print up the names of the guest on tiny square pieces of paper and tie them to the shell with a small ribbon.
As for the “centerpiece” we ordered these pretty lanterns to sit in the middle of the table- and will put a blue candle inside. Then surround the lantern with five white tea lights.
Bridesmaids dresses are set- and I finallllyyy found the perfect navy blazer for the groomsmen. We decided the men will all buy the same jacket and pair of khakis rather than renting; because what guy couldn’t use a basic navy blazer, right?
The girls dresses are awesome! We went to Aria on Newbury this past weekend and tried on a million styles. After much consideration, I decided to have each girl pick a different style and then have them all ordered in silk shantung, navy blue. Cross your fingers for me that they come in time for alternations!
Next TO DO- Limo services!!
Then I need to start thinking about, honeymoon wardrobe, vows, ring bands, music selection, flowers, hair/ make up, programs....oy and the list goes on....
as always- suggestions/tips/advice is appreciated!
Love the sanddollars. Where did you buy them from? Oh I want a house near the beach! One day....
ReplyDeleteYes, the sand dollars are great! I got them at qualityshells.com.
