update

Well, since school started last week, I have been really busy and I haven't had much time to do any wedding planning. It is a very good thing that I did so much during the summer, because I don't have a lot of time to get things done during the week now.

Over this past weekend, I was down at Sharon's house for a scrapbooking weekend! On Saturday morning we had a little time before we started scrapping, so we headed over to David's Bridal so Sharon and the girls could try on some dresses for the wedding. We found two Bridesmaid dresses that we really like, they are two very different styles though. Unfortunately, the store we were at did not have my dress, so it was hard to imagine what the dresses would look like next to mine.
We also had the girls try on a few more flower girl dresses, but I think we are going to stick with the original ones they tried on when I went for my dress.
We decided that we need to go back to the Davids Bridal where I ordered my dress, so we could see what the bridesmaid dresses will look like next to mine. So, we are going to try to find a day in the next couple of weeks, when the kids are off of school, so Sharon and the kids can come up to try them on.
Before we left, I showed Sharon the veil that we ordered last week for me. We also looked for some hairpieces that would look nice with my veil, but the kids were getting bored so we decided to head home and look more another day.

Tonight, I made a list of all the things we still need to do in the upcoming weeks for the wedding and I was amazed at how many things were on my list! I never imagined it would be this much work planning a wedding. Some of the things on the list include: finding a hotel/booking a hotel block for overnight guests, ordering/sending Save the Dates, finding airfare for our Honeymoon, figuring out centerpieces/flowers and finding a florist, and that is just the beginning. My goal is to work on these things little by little over the next couple of weeks.
