I went to the wedding gallery/showcase place. It was awesome. She loaded up my arms with business cards, fliers, magazines, local guides, you name it, I got it! She gave me tea and talked with me about what I want and my budget (I don't feel comfortable discussing my budget because *I* want to decide where corners will be cut, if they are cut at all!)
All of the information was free. When I got home I was shocked because I got 7 full size magazines about getting married in Oregon and the Pacific NW. I got 2 guides just for the Willamette Valley. Plus a 3 inch stack of business cards. It is a lot of information! I wish I had someone to go over it with me...Oh wait! I do! My wedding planner!
Her name is Christine, and her price is free. She went to school for wedding planning and just graduated, she needs to build up her portfolio and asked that in return for her services we let her use a picture of our wedding and if I am happy I will write a referral. Holy shit!!! YES!!!
I know she just graduated but she has more knowledge than I do and this will help both of us out. Win-Win.
I found my wedding favors. Usually I think those are so stupid, I had a pot of honey that said "Our love is sweeter than honey" Fucking gag me! I have also had crappy bubbles wrapped in tulle. Yeah...no thanks. BUT I found something awesome! I am going to personalize a Jones Soda label for us. We get to put our picture and a little bit of text and then pick flavors. I figured that would be fun. Not only do I get sodas with my face on them but it is something people can enjoy (and then recycle)
I am looking at music. I want to walk down the aisle to a cello. Luckily I know a guy... Well sorta. My BFF has a nephew who plays cello and his favorite movie is star wars. He knows the Imperial March music. I am going to approach Travis tonight about having me walk to that, but at a much slower tempo so people will think they know it, but won't be sure. hehehe

Wow, what a deal! Sounds like you have a lot of stuff to pour over for a while.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I almost forgot to mention that if you want to (and no pressure... your day, do what you need to make it perfect!), you can always use my Mom for a ring pillow, garter belt, and whatever matching accessories you want like a flower girl basket.

When you get closer to the time and you want to use her, let me know. She has worked with people all over the US and can ship it out to you no problems.
I just wanted to say that the jones pop idea is supremely awesome! I hope everything goes as planned!
