Day 170: An hour of progress.

Yesterday (Monday) before our church's "Women Alive" meeting, I had an extra hour, so I decided I should knock out some wedding stuff. Also, on the plane ride back from Kansas on Sunday, I spent an hour drawing out the sketches for the sanctuary stage, entrance, and the Epicenter (reception hall). I feel like I've finally accomplished something!!!!! WAHOO!!!


Yesterday, here's what I accomplished:

I began by ordering one bag of some bulk, super inexpensive rose petals that I found. I will need many more bags (probably 15) to pull off what I want to achieve with these. But, I started with one bag, just to make sure they are good quality and the right color.

Next, I found a great price on pillar candles, which I want for my tables..... LOTS of candles. Candles are my favorite, for every reason. I'm excited to see how many I can decorate with!

I've had this idea (in my mind) of what I see when I walk into my reception. Because of budget, I didn't think I could pull it off..... BUT, LOW AND BEHOLD! I found a way to :-) I'll be using these paper lanterns, and placing inside of each one a little light (found for WAY cheap). I ordered a couple lanterns, and two of the lights, to test and make sure they last, and work well! These will be hung all over the Epicenter (reception hall)!!!

I also FINALLY decided on my bridesmaids dresses, and set the deadlines for the ladies. They are all going to look SO beautiful!! They are very flattering dresses, and will be black. By the way, my colors are black, red, and ivory. Red is the main accent color. (roses!)














Well, that's what I've got for now...... Hoping to finish more SOON! 
Thanks for joining for the journey- 170 days 'til I marry my best friend, and give him my heart forever! I am so full of joy knowing it's coming soon!!!!


Love,
Kathleen
