Wedding update...

Busy, Busy, Busy! The invitations are almost done.... just have to pick up some more stickers, address the envelopes and copy the actual invitation part. Should be ready by tues.

Decorations including balloons, ribbon, candles, confetti etc. are all bought. Flowers are all bought... I even found a way to creatively make the guy's boutiniers and the parents/ granparents flowers out of flowers at the same time.... now I just have to put them together.... I figure all of us girls can get together when Lindsay gets back and we can put your bouquets together however you want them and possibly work on the parents and the guys flowers at the same time (unless I get bored before then :) I put together my bouquet the other day when I bought the flowers.... it is 'freakin' Awesome!!! I still need to pick up some little fillers for it though and add the ribbon to the stems...

So I got magenta, pearl white and silver balloons... I just need to get a few clear with hearts or wedding something written on them so that I can put the magenta ones inside them. I am going to hang balloon boquets from the ceiling above each table with ribbon hanging out of them...

We will need to put together all the favor boxes sometime the week of the wedding... I bought cinnamon hearts and some other heart candy to put in them.

My Aunt has offered to have the bridal shower (Shawna's Mom) and so we will be doing that sometime around when Lindsay gets back... she will be sending out invitations and staying in touch with Lindsay through email....Shawna and Larissa are you able to help Aunty Lil out if she needs any help??? That is awesome that she has decided to have it....it will be very nice. It also takes a lot of stress off of Lindsay seeing now she only has to plan the bachlorette party for when she gets back.... she said that she would like to do them the same day... which I think makes sense....instead of taking two days off work for most of us.... she was planning on getting us girls together the night of the shower.

The guys have all been fitted for their tuxes.... except Erik which has to go next week sometime. They are going to look really good!!! The lingering question with the tuxes is whether or not they are going to decide to get 'Fedoras' and or canes with them :) some of the guy's thought it would be rally cool. It would suit the tuxes they went with...

Well other than that...can't think of anything else right now.....

Guys...




what do you think of the suit that my Brother rented for his girlfriends grad last year??? I love the pin stripes and if Bryce goes with stripes then you will match him... This suit will look really really good with the black and silver theme that I posted in one of the last posts....
??????

The Cake I like..

Here is a picture of the cake I found.... it is the bottom right square.... the cake with the cherubs on it.. of course we would change the color of the flowers to match our colors though.

Here are examples of what the suits will look like....

Or should I say the color schemes anyways...
This one is Bryces... http://www.memoriesbymichellephotography.com/cpg135/displayimage.php?album=1&pos=51

He likes the white with black pinstripes... I think it looks good too!! We will just have to try everything on before he decides exactly what he wants...

Here is kind of an example of the groomsmens... the ones I saw at the wedding show though looked better... these pictures do no justice at all...
In the first picture the groom is wearing the suit...but I think it looks not so good because his tie and vest don't match...they are white and silver... they guys would have both silver.... I think they might look good in pinstripes to match Bryce too.... but black with white stripes.... it all depends on what you guy's want for the style of jacket and pants...

Here is the other example... You Guy's will look sooo good!!! The girls will be on your arms all night long :)

Thats awesome. I'm so happy for u Ang, thats great news. Let me know what I can do over here for u if there is anything you need.

Break Through!

Yeah!

Well the bridal event in Kelowna went very well yesterday... I didn't win ANY of the $20,000 worth of prizes, but that's besides the point. I found an idea for my bouquet and have a pretty good idea of what I want... I will have to post a picture of it later... I found some AWESOME Tux color layouts for the guys....OH MY GOD, they will all look so Hot!! I will also have to add pictures of those later... all the guy's have to do is choose what style Jackets they want now and which shoes they want to go with. The color layouts are sharp> Guys: Black tux, Black shirt, Silver tie, Silver vest with black trim on opening....***Please don't judge until you see a picture of it, It is HOT!!!*** Groom: opposite... White tux...maybe tails, depending on what Bryce decides...Black shirt, silver tie, silver or white vest...we'll have to decide which looks better when he gets it on. Father of the Bride... Dad has decided to go with a rented tux instead of his old grey suit.... Black tux, White shirt (to match bride), Silver tie, Silver vest.... Father of the groom... I hope we can talk Bryces dad into renting a western style tux in black (if he is wanting to go western style) and then have him in a white shirt like my dad so that the two of them have the same white and black and the guys have the black and black. And of course the Black Cowboy hat!!! We still have to talk to him though... that way everyone will be in rented tuxes for the pictures and all match. It will look sooo sharp!! We do need to get all the guys together in the next week or two and go to kelowna to get them fitted and the tuxes booked though because she says they are really starting to book up with the grads for that time of year and with so many guys, we need to reserve some very soon!!! It looks like we will probably be getting them from Torino in the mall... they have the most fabric swatches and selection (we discovered this at the bridal show). Oh, and if any of you girls still have doubts about the color of the dresses... There was a dress that came out at the fashion show that was the exact same color as ours and everyone thought it looked sooo good.... it got a LOT of applause..... the color looked awesome against the tuxes and the white... and the girl even had a pale comlexion and still looked really good in it. It will be awesome... trust me... like I keep saying, it is not the exact color I was hoping for, but it 'will' look really hot!!

The other day, I also found a cake that I really like... just have to talk to the cake decorator about it.

Oh, and I guess the biggest news is that My mom told me yesterday after the bridal show that she is going to have everyone over to her house for the Open house.... so it will be there afterall...what a relief!!! It really is one of the best places to hold it, the yard is awesome at that time of year.
