Well ladies ...is it time to start my blog? We are a month away ... the next holiday and we're there ...
So where should I be, I'm having a hard time trying to remember everything and my bridal book is getting very thick ..:) You ladies have been very helpful ..and I know I've gotten on some nerves ...my apologies .. :)
You know at first ..I wasn't wear a veil nor tiarra ...I've since decided on doing both ...so what do you think?
and tiarra I ordered ...
Ok where am I?:
1. My dress will be ready saturday ...everybody else has their attire and jewlery ..oh I have my jewlery too (in the pics)
2. Favors came in yesterday
3. Centerpieces came in today
4. Doing the runner this weekend
5. Finishing the programs sometime next week (bc of the addition)
6. Put together the corsage and bouts (I have the stuff) ...deciding on putting on their wrists (corsages) or shoulder blade? Which do you think?
Ok ...what else do I need to do? Oh and Imma add beads to the bottom of the veil like the top of my dress PROBABLY this weekend ...
Thanks Ivy and Dee! I like the wrist ones too ... It just feels like some small things are missing ..while I may have the big things mostly together ...
What are the little things that needs to be taken care of?
Yup I DIY'ed that thing ..LOL ...I'm adding some beads around the bottom too ...
I did take pic of the favor (they came in yesterday) but you couldn't see the detail ... I have my camera now ...Imma take a pic of the paper that the pic is now ...it's a gold Christmas ball w/ our mono in cranberry ..I don't even know how to post the mono I made ...but I sent it to this company to put it on Christmas balls ...here is the best pic
Uh OH ...I just read were some BRIDES are even wearing wrist corsages! What you think about this????
Imma kinda liking it because my entrance is walking down the steps from over top of everybody and I wasn't coming down with the bouquet anyway (will be holding my dress up in one hand and the rail in the other) my son was going to hold it until I came down to him ...
I don't know if both is a option or not ...but what do you think of the wrist thingy for ME????
Turiya, that gown is simply elegant and stunning. You are going to be so beautiful. I just like your whole ensemble. The veil and tiara are amazing! Can you believe how fast time has flown. Take it from me a month is going to fly by so fast you won't believe it -- so put it in cruise control for the remainder of your planning and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!!
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37

Sister Nikki ~ Turiya to those who doesn't know, I always thought you were a superstar and on your wedding day, everyone else will as well. Girl, you've got me misting, and I'm not even there yet, how am I going to keep it together on your wedding day???
From the very first time I've spoken with you, I knew that you had a beautiful soul. God has blessed you in so many ways and will continue to do so on your wedding day and throughout your marriage. Your FH won't know what hit him. Girls, you know I'm gonna catch every last one of FH's tears so that I could come back and share. Anyway Turiya, WOW,WOW, WOW is all that I can say!!! Magnificent job!!!
Oh Turiya- I am so excited now- its all coming together so so well!!! Okay the job on the veil is fantastic- it looks flawless. Going with the headpiece was perfect.
Guess what yall ...I've been WAITING for "This Christmas" specially by Chris Brown to come on Napster for our First Dance ...It's finally there...WhoaaaWhooo ...I don't have to buy the whole sound track!
Also I purchase all the candy canes for the edible favor, bows for the other favors, the wreath for the top of the steps, my head piece came in, I brought my daughter's headpiece, got my dress back and it's PERFECT, bought the petals for the basket ..not the basket yet ..LOL ..and took pictures for the signature board! Call me Butter ...cause I'm on the roll .. :)
Butter -- LOL!!! You ain't no joke, it seems like you have a lot of less things to worry about!!! Good for you. You have got a lot of things done. Now I need to go check out that movie myself -- lol!!!!
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
WOW Turiya, very nice!!! I'm loving the ornaments for favors. I can't wait to see you're wedding pics. I did wrist corsages for my wedding because alot I didn't want to make holes in anyone's formal wear. As far as your flowers, have you thought about holding long stem flowers across your arm. You would still be able to hold your dress with the same hand and it would be a little more elegant than a corsage. You are the star of the show and deserve more than a wrist corsage.
"I'm a work in progress, God is not through me yet"
Between the ornament and bouquet, I vote bouquet. I say long flowers if holding bouquet while walking stairs will be a problem. I just think the image of you coming down the stairs with flowers in hand is more striking than being handed flowers at the end of your descend. Just my opinion.
"I'm a work in progress, God is not through me yet"
Another GREAT point! Leaning more towards holding the flowers coming down ... :) Imma just walk down the steps a few times at home, so I can work it out at the spot ...That's the ornament I made for the girls, remember I said they weren't doing flowers ...you remember ... :)
Yes I remember they were doing the ornament but when I saw pic I thought you were deciding between the two for yourself to carry. What did you decide to put at the base of your centerpieces? You are doing the present boxes right?
"I'm a work in progress, God is not through me yet"
Oh ok ...I thought you remembered, I didn't have a pic of me with just the bouquet ...sorry for the confusion .. :)
Yes ma'am, I'm doing the present boxes ...I got some small gold balls that we are going thread burgundy ribbon through the lopes then tie a bow to form a circle with the balls and put them around the boxes. When you say base, is that what you were talking about?
I mean bottom of boxes. You know how sometimes people scatter petals or confetti around something, or they put flowers of some sort around a centerpiece. Gold balls scattered around base sounds nice.
"I'm a work in progress, God is not through me yet"
Oh ok ...we were on the same page ..:) Yeah I was going to do the petals, but then I wanted the balls ..then I wanted to do both ...but a girlfriend told me that was too much ...whatchu think -a little of both is too much?
Soon ..are you doing one chair cover for you FH's mom and/or your son? Or are you doing all chair covers? I asked because they place where I BROUGHT our chair cover from was only $4.00 and I would love to forward the info if you need it ...
so how are you feeling? you seem to have all of the "things to do" out of the way-so now what about YOU??? any special things you are planning to do for yourself? I know with the kids and planning the wedding we sometimes forget about us so make sure you do YOU...
Yeah I am ...Me and FH were planning to go out -just us ...but I told him we can save that for after the wedding. Neither member on our team has mention a party for us ...and we did want a Co-ed one if we had one, bc FH doesn't want a bachelor party at all ...and I didn't want one "planned" for me bc of the headache I endured with the other 2 weddings this year. I think our team took us up on our wishes bc 3 weeks left and we haven't heard anything. So we are planning an US day before the wedding ...:) Not sure what yet though ...
