OMG, I'm freaking out now for real! I reached my One month mark today!!!
I can't believe it. Where has the time gone??? I still have a lot to do! My main goal objective is to begin working on all the details little by little each evening after work. I have to order the welcome bags for my guests since our wedding is out of town. I have to look for a hairstylist since mine bailed out on me last week. I have a makeup artist which great! But now finding a hairstylist in such little time seems daunting. So far I was able to book one girl for a trial but the only day I could go was on July 16! I want to see a few others before that date. This weekend i will pursue that task. Today was my RSVP deadline and I already heard back from about 7 guests who has not replied who will be attending. I was happy to know my guest list jumped last night from 69 to 80! I'm certain a few more will come in by the end of this week :-) I still have to lose my last 5 pounds!!! omg, that isn't easy but I'm going to the gym everyday for the next 4 weeks, that's the plan. I can fit my dress good but I want that extra belly fat to go away so I can look good in my bikini for my honeymoon. I still have go shopping for that trip too. Arrrgggghhhh too much work. Oh and I still have to finalize ceremony and music details to top it off. Good luck to all my fellow upcoming brides for July and August, we will be certainly busy within the next few weeks.

Wow I can't believe I'm at the 2 month mark!!!
I have so much to do still. I finally have all my vendors secured, that was a weight lifted. Now, I'm anxiously waiting for my invitations to be ready. I had them handmade. I really hope they will be ready by the end of this week. Many of my guests are out of town. My RSVP is for July 6.

I'm going to get my flower girl dresses this week and meet with my wedding coordinator by the middle of this week. My fiance is securing our honeymoon trip. I have to make another cake tasting appointment for this month. My engagement photos will be taken in 2 weeks. I have to get on a strict diet beginning now because my final dress fitting is July 2!!! Oh I have so much to do

3 Month Countdown!!!
Wow, I can't believe how fast these months are going by. It seems like it was just yesterday I was approaching my 1 year mark. I have so much to do but I'm proud of what I've got accomplished this past month! Now, I will continue to move aggressively with my planning this month and hopefully by mid June I shall begin relaxing just a bit until mid July when I have to begin doing the month before organizing.

Wow, I can't believe 100 days to my wedding!
Time goes by so fast when you have so much planning to do! Seriously, I remember when it was just a year ago and I was just moving at a slow pace organizing stuff. Now I have to move extra fast to get stuff moving along. I can't wait until the day is finally here so I could finally relax and enjoy it :-)

Next big project is getting my invites together so I could mail them. I can't wait until that task is done.

My Girls dresses, should be arriving by late May
I took my girls to look at dresses last month. They didn't like the original Alfred Angelo dress I had chosen. So I let them go try on other dresses. They all came to an agreement and loved this Da Vinci dress. It really breathtaking! The colors will be orchid with a blush trim for my five bridesmaids and blush with a orchid trim for my two maids of honor.

Wedding Invitation
I have decided on a design!
This process was long and tiring but I met up with a local invitation artist.
I loved her creativity and ideas. We are were able to come up with some really fascinating colors. Here is a sample of the design I plan to use but with a different color scheme.

My colors are going to be light champagne gold, baby blue handmade paper for the back layer and ivory stock card for the cards with an antique finish for the print.

4 More Months to Go
So much to do still...This is the month where I will be working away like no tomorrow. Invites, Florist, Cake and Room Decor on my lists of priority! Oh and securing my room block. I selected my hotel for out of town guests, just working on how many rooms to secure.

I have a feeling I might be sad after all the planning is done...it's a Love/Hate relationship..LOL

Wedding Hair Style
I love this hairstyle maybe with a little flowers tied in with the braids and maybe a side part for me. Might go well with my mantilla veil :-)
