I received all of my stuff from Amazon this week! I couldn't believe how fast everything came. The wedding card box looks a lot smaller than I expected, but it's still pretty nice and it came out to be a good price. I also purchased stuff for my bridesmaids' gifts.
The jr. bridesmaids dresses came in today and I really like the color, but I'm not sure if BFC's niece will fit her dress. It looks like it may be too small. I think CC will be able to fit hers though. I'll have to give it to MOH so she can try it on.

Amazon.com
Spent many hours of the weekend looking up wedding stuff on Amazon.com. I don't know why I didn't think of doing it before. One of the things I was looking for were the jr. bridesmaids dresses. I ended up finding a style I liked. I hope that the dresses will fit them, but I figure, at least they could be altered if anything. I also ended up finding some cute gifts for the bridesmaids and a gift card holder/container thing for the reception.
I did want to order a few more things, but they weren't covered by the Super Saver Shipping and I would have had to pay nearly $9 for S&H for bubbles! I couldn't believe it, but I guess it's because they have to ship it here. There was something else that I had put into my shopping cart, but deleted because of shipping rates as well.
I was thinking of looking for jewelry to wear as well, but I guess I could stick to looking at places down here.

Flowers Pt. 2
After meeting with the other florist, Emi, I told BFC that I really wanted her to do the wedding. She was really nice and when she asked me for the budget for flowers, she didn't make a comment or face. She just continued on with her checklist and showed us different pictures of her work. I actually liked her ideas better and feel that she fit well with us. BFC felt that she was nicer as well. We were both holding our breath as I opened the proposal email from her stating what she'd charge us for everything. I was so relieved to find that her price was actually much better for what she had agreed to do for our ceremony. I guess it was a blessing in disguise that the other florist wasn't able to meet since she's the one who referred me to Emi in the first place. I can't wait to see how the final products look at our ceremony.

196 More Days!
The countdown has actually reached under 200 days left until the wedding! I can't believe how fast things have been moving. I'm beginning to already feel stressed out since there are still some things that we haven't done yet. We still need to find tops for the groomsmen and dresses for the jr. bridesmaids. I have to tell the MOH we need to get on it during Spring Break. I'm hoping we'll be able to find something that will look good on both of them...
The florist situation is also kind of rocky. I'm waiting to meet with another florist tomorrow and if that doesn't pan out, I need to call the other florist I met with from TED to make sure we can book her for that day. I'm debating on what I really want and the lady from TED really helped me see how different the bouquets could look from what I was picturing in my head. Maybe the other lady from EF will be able to make something a little different...
I've also got to find someone to alter my dress, which means I'll have to lug it somewhere for the seamstress to look at. I also need to find an appropriate pair of shoes that I can wear with the dress. Hmm...speaking of which, what color should I have the bridesmaids wear...black would probably be the best because it can match pretty much anything.
