Dress!!

This is Megan, Mels roommate sharing photos from our dress shopping adventure today :)

Blogger won't let me order them very well. Sorry! If you want any of them in a larger size let me/Melanie know in the comments.

Bridesmaids

Just something i've been thinking about: If you want to save money and not want to buy a dress you can wear the right purple of a shirt and a black skirt. It'd look great if y'all were in dresses, but I understand perfectly if you want a skirt and a shirt. happy shopping!

Thank You!

P.S. to those of you who are married in the family (aka Ulrichs) I need the mens' chest sizes for the vest rental so they can order them and have them in when we need them :D Thank you!

New Advice Cards

Here's with the correct colors. :D mmmm its gonna be good!

Advice Cards

These are the advice cards (loved the idea!) for each table. 

Megan designed it! The colors will be put to the paint chips tomorrow. :D

Men's Apparel

Okay, thoughts on having the men rent their vest and tie (no tuxes)? we couldn't make them for the price that they would rent them for : $24.50 here's a picture:

 

Bouquet & Flowers

So my thought for a bouquet is this:

silk calla lilies with real roses. Then the men without jackets so no flowers for them, only for Chad, the dads and the moms. then either a matching bracelet or a single calla lily for the gals.

Vase Options

Melanie - Let me know if you like any of these and if you think they might work.

LEFT- Straight Cylinder - 9.5" T and about 1.75" D.

MIDDLE - Concave - 9.5" T, aprox. 2" D at the top and bottom and about 1.25" D at the narrowest point.

RIGHT - Convex - 7.75" T, aprox. 2" D at the top and bottom and about 2.5" at the widest point.

Each vase has a slight bit of etching in the shape of a stem - it is very subtle.

Color Plans

I should be running to Home Depot or Lowe's really soon to get paint chips for the two purples and the green so people can have plenty of time to go get their dresses! If there is a more effective way of sending out the color, let me know! So far, the paint chip idea is the best one I've found! P.S. I need your addresses. :D

And We're Off!

This is going to be a blast and I am so excited! This is a test to see if a wedding plans blog will work, so patience is key as we figure out how to make it work. :D

Thank you for being a part of it all and I look forward to all the creative ideas and great times!

love,
Melanie
