6 months to go!

after a nice hibernation, i'm back and ready to start plannning! (sorta)

so some major decision planning ahead of me in the next 2 months (before i move to cali)... wanna help? :D here's where things are at, and also a few updates....

NEW DATE
i know i mentioned this already (but people have been saying they didn't know the date was changed)- wedding will now be on o5.o2.o9. see you there! (unless you're not invited...haha jk!)


DRESS
arrived!!
good news: turns out i did order it in ivory
bad news: jjom tight. i get serious back-ass (you know when the back folds into a butt-looking shape squeezed into the dress as you try to zip it up....)
it's cute. i think i'll keep it this way...


PHOTOGRAPHER
here are the folks i've met with (or will be meeting with in a few weeks)

1. Scott Lewis
2. Heather Waraksa
3. Jenny Ebert
4. Kenny Kim
5. Belathee
6. Cappy Hotchkiss
7. Anja Hitzenberger

Heather was my top choice, but was booked on my new date....and i'm meeting with #5-7 in the next few weeks. so far i'm hearing that Anja seems to have the "cleanest" or "sharpest" looking pictures, whereas the others are not as consistent with clarity, shakiness, focus, etc. unfortunately i never took photography in my pratto9 curriculum so any photographers out there with advice on these folks- it would be greatly appreciated! (and on pricing, unfortunately they're all pretty pricey, but around the same price range so that probably won't be the determining factor)

COLOR SCHEME
i think i'm going to move forward with the ivory/sage-olive scheme. it's seasonally appropriate, and well- i know everyone is doing that color combo these days but i think it'll be easy to do...


THEME?
well john has been getting really into golfing lately, so some wonderful friends had the great idea of incorporating a golf theme in little subtle ways- maybe something with the place cards and table numbers...still brainstorming on this so send ideas this way!

BOOKED:

• music
• videographer
• church

TO DO:

• florist
• BM dresses
  
• hair and makeup (trial in november- any ideas for hair??)
  
• invitations (maybe try to make these with my good 'ol pratt colleagues)
  
• book honeymoon (greece!)
  

ok what else am i forgetting to do....??


i leave you with two final things...

1) please vote for the shoes you like better:


(a) (b)



2) can someone help me make/find this birdcage-ish veil?
