Extra! Extra! Read all about it... a change to the last post.

So yesterday was a wedding errand day. I was lucky enough to be accompanied by one of my beautiful bridesmaids Samantha (aka Samma) who was a great help!

First off we went to the Old Mill, which Sam had yet to see, and spoke with the florist. We gave our deposit so we are officially using the Old Mill Flower Shoppe. Then we wandered the grounds, saw a sample guest room, all of which have AWESOME Jacuzzi tubs, and got to see some of the banquet rooms set up with similar linens to what we are getting. For all of our guests who would like the convenience of staying at The Old Mill Inn the night of our wedding I have listed the rates below. All of our guests receive 30% off the rack rate for each room.

Then we went to David's Bridal to set up an account with the chosen bridesmaid dresses... didn't work out quite as planned but worked out in the long run. So turns out not all of the dresses listed in the previous post are available to order so the new choices for the bridesmaids... after much discussion are:

  

The plan is that since we have 6 bridesmaids 2 girls can each wear a dress and then there will be some consistency. I am happy with the choices in the end. I like that the top of each dress is a similar style and then each girl can pick the bottom style that they feel most comfortable in. Now to decide on shoes and accessories... 

6 months until the big day!!

It is hard to believe that Brandon and I have been engaged for a year and a half at this point... and in 6 months we will be married!

I actually have quite a few updates for everyone...


1) We have sent out our Save the Dates. Sadly it seems as though Canada Post has failed to deliver them all... not to worry though the invitations will be sent out in the next few months. I have decided to post an image of the Save the Dates since most have been received. There were designed and mailed as postcards.

2) Brandon has chosen a suit (tuxedo) he wants to wear. Unfortunately, we will be going with Moores, the details about the issues we have had is too long so I will spare you all. I'm am just happy that Brandon loves the tux. It is a new Vera Wang Charcoal and he will look amazing in it!

3) Once again, we have been back and forth but have settled on David's Bridal for the bridesmaid dresses. We have selected 4 styles of dresses for the 6 girls to pick from. This way each lady can hopefully pick a dress they feel very comfortable in. David's Bridal has a different colour palette so the colour we will be going with is "Plum".

 

4) We are trying to organize our Engagement Photo shoot. We are hoping to have them taken in the snow to have the contrast from our summer wedding photos. As you can all probably assume it has been difficult to arrange this as Spring seems to have come early... We will give it a few more weeks and if there still is no opportunity then we will have to just do something else.

5) We have contacted bakeries to inquire about cake options and pricing. In the upcoming month we will try to go in for taste tests. Our top 3 bakeries are Sweet! Bakery, J'Adore Cakes Co., and I do! Wedding Cakes.

I think that is all the updates for now. Hopefully I will have another post before the 5 month mark but time sure is flying now! 

Talk to you all soon. xoxoxo
