Jr. Bridesmaids

I got in touch with my future SIL to ask about BFC's niece's measurements so I can start looking for junior bridesmaids' dresses...which reminds me, I need to get in touch with my other bridesmaid to see if she found the dress my MOH bought. Well, if she doesn't get that same dress, I'll live. I think it'd be best if everyone had a dress that was comfortable and that they'd want to wear. I don't really care if they all don't have the same dress. I think it'll show their individuality.

I'm hoping to find something nice for the jr. bridesmaids to wear and that it won't be too expensive. I know that I have to keep some money on the side for alterations and to pay off the balances of whoever I need to pay.

A lady from Easley florist keeps calling me, but she calls me when I'm not able to answer the phone...hopefully I'll be able to get in touch with someone to at least set up an appointment. I don't really like how it's going right now though. At least with the other florist, the lady got back to me right away despite how "busy" they were with the holiday season coming up.

Flowers

Flowers is the next item on my list that needs to be looked at. I did call one florist back after a rep called me, but I didn't receive any call back from that one. Oh well...at least I have an appointment set up with another one (TGIS) coming up in January. I have to write that down on the calendar so I don't forget.

I finally sent the down payment for the videographer as well. I was somewhat bummed out because I found a cheaper company on CL. It wasn't too bad though since the price difference wasn't that much. I'm excited to see what the end product will be like.

I also am meeting someone to buy a guestbook this morning. She mentioned something about a veil as well, so we'll see how that looks.

I can't believe it's nearly December, which means there's only approximately 8 MORE months. :p

Videography Pt. 2

BFC and I did meet with a videographer on Friday afternoon. His prices were the best among the others I've seen. The other studio that I was interested in was WAAAAY too overpriced for my liking. They did a package deal of photography and videography with prices starting at 8500. I couldn't believe it! If I were to put the total price of my photography and videography together, they wouldn't even come near that price. The videographer was nice and I liked watching his sample. Everything seems to be coming together.

Oh and the florist emailed me back the other day as well. We will be meeting her sometime in January to discuss what we want and what our budget for flowers will be.

Videography

One of the first things I thought I could nix from my wedding was a videographer. I thought I didn't need someone to videotape my wedding. Then, the more and more people I spoke to said that they're glad they hired someone to video their weddings. So, I figured, I'm the type of person who would definitely watch my DVD several times, so I decided to start looking into videography companies.

There are a few I liked so far, but as I was looking on weddingwire.com, some didn't get very high reviews. The one company I am interested in (fisheye studios) emailed me back today with a survey I needed to fill out. I quickly typed it up and sent it back to the person. I'm hoping their rates are reasonable since I really liked their material...

Invites!

This evening, I got a call from the place BFC and I ordered invitations from. They've come in! I'm so excited to see the final product. Well, at least that's one thing I don't have to worry about anymore...now I just have to make a get-together so we can stamp them all. I guess I could do a little at a time...I just need to clear off the desk and counter areas.

Wow! The wedding date is creeping up so quickly. I think the next thing we need to do is make plans to get our wedding bands ordered since that may take a few months to come in. Now that the invitations are completed, we have to go through the guest list again to look at the people we're inviting. I know that the invitations aren't going out until early April, but I know it will alleviate some headaches if we go through everyone first.
