Today the Petries and I started out with Breakfast at Pomagranate Bistro! *YUM* Then we went to Renee’s and I helped her with her landscape design curves. After that problem was solved… we worked on wedding planning!

Things done today:
Worked on a firmer wedding day schedule & logistics
Discussed bridal hair options
Discussed hotel/bar options further
Decision to ditch babysitters at reception… not needed.
Transportation ideas
Finalized decorating plan
Went to craft stores to purchase: votives, ribbon, 3 frames, candles

Today, I spent the whole day with mom. We did a lot of wedding “running around.” We started with going to a consignment shop in Kirkland, where we found her dress! It’s really lovely, soft and flowy and also happened to be the first one she tried on. Although there were several, this one was hard to beat!
(more…)

As you might have read from a previous post, I got my dress in Monday! Today was my fitting! My friend Rachael was sweet enough to go with me because I was a little nervous! It fit! No alterations!! Yahoo!

I also got a veil, a beautiful hair peice, shoes, and ordered shoes.

36 days to go, and I have the pleasure of checking off 3 things on my to do list!!! Right on!
• Brides: Begin your fittings.
• Brides: Decide on and purchase major accessories (veil and shoes) prior to final fittings.
• Brides: Attend final wedding-gown fitting.

You guessed it… I’m putting together our song list for the wedding!

I’m hoping for some serious bootie shakin’!! So here’s your chance! Any music requests? If so, put your ideas in the comment section here on the blog!

Brett really wants a Cally. I’ve been trying to con him into something else, but perhaps something like below would be nice while incorporating the roses out of my bouquet?

Wrapped Stems, beautiful huh? This is what my florist has done in the past!

After a long wait…My beautiful dress came in and I can schedule a fitting! Yahoo! 🙂

“Please come and join Jennifer’s family and friends as we celebrate JENNIFER SHATOS, our favorite bride-to-be!

We all know Jennifer will be counting down to the big day. With barely over a month to go, this will be the perfect time to surround Jennifer with laughter and good company. Dinner and drinks will be served.

Any advice or well wishes for the bride-to-be? Please include a message for Jen with your RSVP that we can share with her at the shower. I know these messages will mean a lot to her, especially from those who cannot make it to the shower.

We look forward to seeing you!”
