Wedding decorations (Rehearsal Dinner)
Good Evening! As you can see yesterday I wasn't able to get on the site to update. Mom and I got up on Friday morning and went to Shenandoah and got her haircut at the "Heart & Soul Salon". After she was finished we headed to Omaha to pick-up rosebud bowls, floating candles, iridescent rocks from a lady who was trying to get rid of them . Mom found her on Craig's list and we decided to spend the 21 dollars to get all the things. We then stopped at Hancock fabrics and got 5 yards of bamboo colored chiffon material to use with are other table decorations. I also was able to pick up the material that will be utilized in Deacon Bill and Pat Smith's quilt. I am super excited about how it will turn out. We then went to target to exchange a set of glasses that were broken from a bridal shower. While we were there we stopped by the dollar bins and picked up the cute little Dream vases and the Live, Laugh, & Learn vases. I will be putting flowers in those and using them at the rehearsal dinner. Finally around 1pm we made it Kimmy house. We showed her all of the buys that we had gotten that day.
We then sat down and decided to start trying to figure out exactly how to decorate the tables at the wedding reception. We utilized an 8 ft table of Kimmy's to make it like a mock set up. It never even crossed my mind to take a picture of what it would actually look like. We decided that we needed to run back to Omaha to pick up approximately 7 more yards of the chiffon material and we also purchased the keepsake wedding boxes from card party outlet. We ended up back at Kimmy's house around 6:00pm and the snow had already began to fall on the ground. We got back mom started making the pew bows and Kim and I started to work on the mints. I was like are we really going to make 500-600 mints. I knew I would be there forever. By the time we finished 4 packages of cream cheese it was about 12:00am. Mom and I left Kimmy's house and headed back to mom and Dad's House. The weather was pretty fierce. It was like mom and I had decided to venture out into a blizzard. It took us approximately 3 hours to get home.
Today...We went to the Emporium gift shop in Shenandoah and I picked up a few wedding gifts, registered for a few more items. We then walked across the street to get my Dad and Thomas measured for there tuxedo's. Finally we stopped at the Elks lodge to speak with Doug about the final preparation for the wedding reception. We order the table linens and the alcohol. Deb Maher is the person who is hemming my wedding dress. She contacted me this afternoon and asked if I could come back and try the dress on again. We all were in agreeance that the boning was to be removed. It was making the bust of the dress fit awkward. Otherwise, I've been hanging out here with my family and trying to accomplish as many tasks as possible. There lots of drifts on the ground and the weather outside is freezing. I look forward to the upcoming days before the wedding.
