- a wedding dress!
- colors: dark blue and silver (and, since it's Christmas, red and green by default)
- two out of five bridesmaids' dresses
- a florist: Gladstone Flowers
- a photographer: Freeland Photography
- an invitation design
- a date
- a plan
Here's what we don't have:
- a church
- a reception hall
- a time
- registries
I'm really excited about a lot of the things we have. My wedding dress, obviously, is one of the most exciting things. All four members of my family went with me last Saturday to David's Bridal, and I was lucky enough to find a $99 gown during the $99 sale. The dress is lovely and fun, but you can't see it until December 21!
I'm also excited about our florist and photographer. Gladstone Flowers is a local florist, and I've ordered and received a lot of flowers from them over the years. They're super nice and super professional, and Matt the designer had some really great ideas for our bouquets. For example, he's going to paint holly silver! I'm inordinately excited about this detail. I just think it's cool that the silver holly will incorporate both the Christmas season and the wedding colors, plus it's shiny. Freeland Photography did Madison and Dane Engquists' wedding, and Robert and I were both really impressed by the results. Mike Freeland is very nice and very talented, and I'm looking forward to having him take our photos!
As for what we don't have...there will be more updates on that later! Eventually we'll figure out what church we're using, and that will answer the question of where the reception will be.
Anyway, wedding planning is going well and going quickly. I'm not taking much time price-shopping or considering many different options: I'm just going with my first instinct. So far, that's gone pretty well.
