Wedding Party Attire

The flower girls:

My grandma made their dresses. View previous posts about them here.

They did so good!

Gabrielle: 

My Junior bridesmaid, she walked Kathy, my black lab who was also ring bearer down the aisle.

Her dress was opposite the bridesmaids with the same kind of silk. My grandma also made her dress.

Kathy:

Our ring bearer had some flowers and ribbon that had the rings tied to it on a simple dog chain. There aren't any perfect pictures of her but here is a glimpe...and another bit of my dress!

The Bridesmaids:

Ashley was my matron of honor, then in order there is Alyssa, Bekah, and Ashley. My mom made all of their dresses and I think they turned out great! Their jewelry went with it perfectly! These are the only two I could find with just them, where all of them were in it!

The groomsmen:

Greg was Zach's best man, then there is Josh his brother, Shea my brother, and Jarrod. Zach is in these with them. Order in picture below from left to right : Jarros, Greg, Zach, Josh, Shea

And here is almost everyone...

Sorry you will have to wait for my dress!

DJ'in

Okay so we got another BIG check off our list! We have secured Rodger from Astro DJ. He is apparently really fun, so hopefully it'll help make the wedding a really fun party! He is also their top and most requested DJ, so I am very happy we got him.

The little girls tried out their dresses and they are soooo cute!

I had a very hard time getting them to sit still for a picture because they were so excited. haha

My mom also finished Ashley B and Bekah's Bridesmaid dresses, they just need to try them on again so we can do the bottom hem.

I think I am getting pretty good prgress so far.

We met with the 3rd caterer Monday (Silver Palate Bistro) I definately like them the best, I just hope we can get it to work with our budget! We shall see. Fingers crossed.

Updates and Flower girl dresses!

So the catering meeting on Monday went really well, and we have another one tonight. David is also in town tonight so I hope to pick his brain about the wedding and Ireland tonight at dinner...

My Grandma has finished sewing the flower girl dresses. We still haven't gotten the pansy colored ribbon in yet so imagine them with that as a sash.

I love them! I can't wait to see them in them.

We also got the birdcage and the dress form, so we can get started on my dress soon! We dropped it off at my grandma's last night.





Saturday I think we are going to start making the bridesmaid dresses which seem to be pretty simple. here is a picture of the pattern. Just the dress, and they will also have a pansy sash/ ribbon around the waist.




As soon as Ashley sends me her pics of my hair I will post them. Mine came out dark and are hard to see.

Flowergirl Dresses

SO here is a pic of the pattern we are using for Ava and Elle's dresses. We got a cotton fabric that is white with tiny pansy blue roses and a little bit of green leaves on it then we got a sparky white organza that will go overtop of the cotton to give it a dressier look. Then we have pansy (blue/purple) 2 1/4" ribbon for the bow.. The same ribbon will be used on the bridesmaid dresses. I think I will have the twins just wear little white ballet flats with their dresses.

I sort of wish I could blog about my wedding dress but that needs to remain a secret from Zach so I will have to refrain.

Currently I am addressing postcard mailers while waiting for my chinese food to arrive. I am starving so I hope it comes soon!
