This past week was my reading week at school so I took advantage of my time off from school to work my large wedding to-do list.
Tuesday night I braved the over-run ferries and went back to the mainland. Apparently I wasn't the only student heading home for the week and judging by the number of large suitcases and black plastic bags I wasn't the only one with a large amount of laundry to do either.
I've been working on the invitations for quite some time now. I am glad that I started so early because they have proved to be a lot of work, but they are taking shape now and I am thrilled with they way they are turning out. There is still a lot of work to do but I have full confidence that they will be ready by the time they need to be mailed out.
I've moved onto the smaller details of the decor. Mom and I settled on a few things such as the flower girl basket and ring pillow I took pictures of to show Ian but... well you be the judge of how well that worked out...

I SWEAR it's not pink!!!!
We also settled on the design for the pew bows which will decorate and line the isle. I'm very happy with these because everything I've found up until now has been "best in show" type ribbons. Not cool.
Bad early 90's wedding anyone?
We did a trial run with the flower that I wanted to add and I was pleasently surprised to find the flower still looked great more than 24 hours later! Even though they will have to be put together at the last minute I have faith that they will get done because I've had so many offers of help. So many in fact that I've been feeling very overwhelmed at the generosity of my wonderful friends and family. You guys are awesome!!!!
Another box that can get ticket is the flower girl dress. A few weeks ago my mom found this fantastic store in Guildford Mall that has the cutest dresses!

Anastasia and I matched - it was really really cute!!!
We walked in an immediately I found 5 or 6 that I was thrilled with. The three of us quickly decided on our favourite and Anastasia agreed. 30 minutes later we walked out of the store with a perfect flower girl dress for a fraction of what it would have cost to buy one in a bridal salon! WOOOO. Here's a pic of my sweet little niece. The first is the one we chose and the others are just so cute I couldn't leave them out.
