Wedding Flowers

To those precious few of you who actually read this blog, I'm sorry that I've been so lame lately! I will try to write more often, promise. :)

My life has gone a little bit beserk. All Shook Up goes into tech - AGAIN - next week, and I've been busy getting that show on the road, working at the house and planning my wedding!

New photos of the house as it looks now (it's very cute - I'm super happy with it!) will be posted soon, promise.

In the meantime, here's a little update on the wedding planning:

It just feels like there's so much to do, but when I really sit down and think about it, most of the big stuff has been tackled. My one major lapse, though, was flowers. I'm ashamed to say it because I am a flower junkie (you should see my house - potted plants all over outside, and LOTS of fresh flowers inside all the time), but I just put this off until the last minute.

So, with the help and assistance of Mom, Kelli and Solange, we bought an enormous amount of flowers wholesale and figured out what the heck we're doing with the centerpieces. We're toying with doing our own because of cost - because I love wilder looking flowers, it's easier to do them ourselves. But we'll see. We're also waiting on a quote to do the whole wedding from the florist who did both Solange and Kelli's weddings - beautifully and reasonably.

In the meantime, while we're sorting everything out, here's a photo of what we mocked up from our fun at the wholesale flower market!

Venue!


We have a venue and a date!

We will be getting married on October 2, 2010 at the California Yacht Club in Marina del Rey!!!!

Jason and I went on Saturday (along with my mom, my sister Kelli, Jason's Grandma Joyce and Aunt Irene) for an appointment to view the venue, and just LOVED it. Plus, the events coordinator, Lorri, is great and so helpful! So we did it! We put our deposit down and it just felt right!

We also began our registries at Bed, Bath and Beyond (they were so great and helpful!), Target and.... REI. Yes, REI. Watching Jason with the scan gun was hilarious. I DID manage to commandeer it for a little while!

It feels amazing to have SO MANY decisions made (our venue provides many of the things that I THOUGHT I was going to have to hunt for) so I can relax and enjoy just being engaged!

If you'd like to see what our venue looks like all dressed up for a wedding, check out the link!

Other than that, we had a wonderful visit with Grandma Joyce and Aunt Irene this weekend. They were SO wonderful and generous, we had a beautiful visit to Catalina Island and many great adventures (mostly involving wedding plans!). :)
