Moving Right Along

Details! I have some details to share. First, We have a ceremony and reception site. We'll be wed at the First Baptist Church in Greenbrier, Tennessee. It's just a hop, skip and a jump from my home, which just so happens to be the reception site! My grandparents are gracious enough to allow us to have the outdoor reception I've always dreamed of at their home. I was a little stressed out about the ceremony site (see: crying to Andrew, wanting to not have a wedding at all). We have a large guest list and I really wanted a single aisle church. A large church with one aisle is not easy to come by, my friends. Especially when you don't want to spend an arm and a leg on a building you'll spend a half-hour max in. Luckily, we were able to snag FBC and the tears can end. Unfortunately, we've (really just me. I had about 230 on my list alone!) had to pare the guest list back a little since the church can only accommodate about 250 people. I'm a little sad to not be able to include every person I want, but understand that things just are the way they are sometimes.

I have bridesmaids and a matron of honor. You can read more about them here.

Oh yeah! I have a wedding website!

I currently have two wedding dresses in my possession. I ordered them online and am gonna give them a try. If I don't like either, I'll send them back and head to the stores. Hopefully, I'll like them though!

I've narrowed down some colors that I like. I'm thinking royal blue, pink and purple. I know that I want casual bridesmaids dresses. Andrew wants gray suits. We're using hydrangeas and baby's breath for decorations and bouquets. We have a general idea about table decorations. (PS. If you're a wine drinker--I need your empty bottles! Call me! And if you're an eater--I need your empty clear glass jars of any size. Think pickles, spaghetti, jelly etc.)

I think that's all for now. Will keep you updated on the impending dress situation!
