Well, it’s been a little while.  Things have just been crazy with the end of the school year and other stuff, so I’ve got to play a little bit of “catch up”.  My mom and I (my cohort in this whole wedding planning escapade…) went and met with the lady that will be making the bridesmaids’ dresses a few weeks back.  All three of us went to the store and picked out a pattern and the fabric that I liked.  The dress is so simple ( chocolate brown, a-line, strapless, t-length, with a sash), it just seemed like it would be much more affordable for the dresses to be made!  I think they are going to turn out great!

Mama and I also went to meet with the ladies that are doing the flowers.  This was one of the most fun things I’ve done so far (well, except for the dress of course!).  I love flowers and choosing types, styles, colors, arrangements, and so on was really great!  I am using mostly gerber daisies and roses in deep beautiful fall colors.  I can’t wait to see how this all turns out!

Shane and I will be doing our engagement photos here in a couple of weeks.  Victoria is going to shoot pictures of us in Rome on Broad Street and at  Berry College.  I know that she will be able to do some really cool shots in both locations!  She and I are also both very excited because some strings have been pulled and we are going to be able to do my Bridal portraits at the lovely Barnsley Gardens.  Ooh la la!!

Plans, plans, plans…
