I went to ATL this weekend for my family reunion. I had a nice time. My aunt and 2 cousins from LA offered to buy my bridal jewelry! YAY! I located the following bracelet but will wait to see what they find before I purchase it:
[img]http://i17.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/d6/4a/ce8a_1.JPG[/img]
I ordered the paper for my programs from Anchor Paper and it is already on the way. It was shipped 7 HOURS after I ordered it! Talk about fast!
I also received all the label paper for my projects from [url="www.labelsbythesheet.com"]Labels By The Sheet[/url]. Another great company to deal with.
The rest of this week is all about printing. I have to print:
1. 100 layered programs, 4 pages plus the cover and backing
2. Labels for Hershey bars, Lifesavers, and water bottles
I'm trying to see if my mom's friend that printed the invitations will help me out again. I would need her to print the program covers and some of the labels. The program pages will be printed at - looks around - WORK! LOL!
Thanks Pamcrow! I want to wear a tiara/headband but am still looking. I found one I like that is $80 bucks so I'm still looking for a better deal before I get it :)
The BM dresses came in and they have all picked them up. All but 1 has been fitted. She's all of a sudden acting an arse for some odd reason I have no time to explore! I have a few pictures, just have to clear it with their pictures being online or chop off their heads! LOL!
Future, wow, your bracelet is absolutely magnificent. I love everything that has an antique flair to it.
Thanks again Diva for sharing your link to labels by the sheets. Wow, I just ordered the labels for our wine bottles and our water bottles. I just didn't want to pass up on the bargain. I was able to order enough labels to make 126 wine bottle labels and 128 water bottles costing me only $55.08 not including the shipping price. Girl!!! You're a life saver. All the places I've contacted wanted to charge me $175 for the water bottle labels and $157 for the wine bottle labels. Now thanks to you, look at the money I've saved. YOU ROCK FUTURE!!!
So I had my bridal shower and bachelorette party this weekend. I don't have the pictures yet so i won't go into too much detail. Just wanted to post a picture of the table runner made by [url="www.unikques.com]uNIKque's[/url] which is owned by our very own diva Turiya! We used it on the bar. The theme os the shower was "Crystal and the City" and here's her creation:
My people threw me a shower and bachelorette Saturday! The theme was "Crystal and the City." Had so much fun. Here are a few pics. Waiting on more from my MaOH's cousin (she has the cake pic you have to see)!
Excuse me for a minute ladies. Need a space to gather my thoughts regarding decor:
Church:
aisle runner (with pins for carpet)
lanterns for the aisle (and ribbon to hang)
roman columns (and uplights)
draping for columns and balcony
floral arrangements for alter
table decor for alter (for unity sand containers)
broom
guestbook table decor (tablecloth, draping, centerpiece, rose petals)
guestbook, pens
Hall:
tableclothes
centerpieces (vase, mirror, candles and holders, rose petals)
vases for BM bouquets
cake topper, serving set
chair covers and sashes
gift and cake table decor (don't forget card holder and runner)
plates, glasses, utensils, napkins
candy buffet items
I think that's it. Let me know if you ladies notice anything I missed.
My last DIY project is the programs. I have to run the ceremony order by my pastor on Wednesday so I can print that page and begin assembly. Saturday is the meet and greet his family is throwing for us. That should be fun and interesting. I've talked to some members of his family more in these past couple of weeks than I have in the entire 6 1/2 years we've been together! My FBIL is a fool! I can't wait to meet the Jones "pack" as he calls them!
Mrs080908, if you don't want to travel with the items, you can purchase them and have them delivered to a friend or family member's address in NY. For your DIY's you can just mail them there. I had no problem mailing all my wedding items to STT. I do that sort of thing reguarly for my job when we have events in different cities. My mom was worried that some things wouldn't get there, but there was no problem whatsoever.
Thanks (again) ladies. Yes Pam my aunt is still doing the peppermint dishes. I may put them on the tables.
I dropped off most of the decorations at the church yesterday. I finished the aisle runner but didn't get a chance to take more pictures - I rolled it up quickly before it wrinkled again! I printed the programs today and will take them to be cut at Office Depot. My MaOH is helping with assembly today and/or tomorrow. Now I have to tie ribbons on the centerpiece vases, and cut the ribbons for the lanterns that will hang from the aisle. I still need to find my niece a pair of shoes as well. Last task is buying the candy for the buffet and affixing all the labels.
Wednesday is our last session of counseling. We will also begin decorating the sanctuary. Thursday is the rehearsal. We should finish the sanctuary decorations and begin on the church hall. Friday my DOC will finish the hall decorations.
This past Saturday FH's family had a meet and greet BBQ for us. It was very nice. My mom and one of my older brothers came. It was nice meeting the Jones pack and seeing all the people that helped shape FH into the "creature" he now is! LOL! I let his aunts (who are always late) know they should be on time for the wedding though because we are starting at 6:30 no matter who is missing! We are taking pictures beforehand so I know the major players will already be in attendance, i.e. bride, groom, officiant.
I'll be updating everyday through Wednesday. Then I'll more than likely be off until next Tuesday. We aren't honeymooning until March so I'll be back with the details and whatever pictures I can gather then!
You are so on the ball Diva!!! I'm very proud of you!!!
I just LOVE your dress!!!!! and your shoes go very well with it :)
Keep on keeping :)

The bracelet is gorgeous and matches nicely with the bodice of your dress. Are you wearing a tiara?
BTW, did your BM dresses come in yet?
