The Wedding is 5 Weeks Away!

I am such a basket case right now! The day is getting closer and I have so much to do!

Last Friday we went to my parent's house so that my mom, Fawn (the Matron of Honor), Jessica, and I could get the bouquets made up. Well, Jessica bought a pair of shoes to go with her dress so she was going to try it on also. Good thing she did! The dress would not zip up all the way! There was like a three inch gap to get it closed. Well we called David's bridal and they told us to come up right now for a fitting. So off Jessica and I go, leaving bouquets to mom and Fawn. We get there, get her a dressing room to get the dress on with the shoes, get into the fitting room and they can let out the dress! YIPEE! And her shoes make the dress a perfect length! So that disaster is solved.

We get back to the house where mom and Fawn are cutting out the flowers for the wedding favors with a whole pile of flowers in the middle of the table. I guessed they were waiting on Jessica to know what she wanted. Fawn starting placing flowers together to try and make something out them and she did! Thank God she worked in the floral department at Schnuck's! They turned out great! I will post pictures soon! Jessica's bouquet needs some small white flowers added and we didn't have any so we couldn't finish hers. We must go shopping AGAIN!

I am also in the middle of making Memorial candles for Jessica's grandpa, Patrick's grandpa, and Josh, my nephew. I have printed the Memorial on Velum paper and I am going to decopodge them.

The wedding favors are coming along. They are time consuming but they will be fantastic when I get them done! I made a friend on Aimee Asher's site, her name is Donna Glen and she creates the Card-i-gami's. She has made Jessica her a Stargazer Lily Card-i-gami for her wedding to use on her favors! We are almost done so I will post pictures soon! Donna I just want to thank you for your creative talent in helping us get this favor together! You idea's are so awesome!

I ordered the flowers off the internet for the center pieces and they arrived Friday. Now I can get them done when I get the vases from Jessica. She took them home to peel off all the sticky price tags! I delegate well don't I? lol!

Well I must get back to work!
I'll have pictures next time!
