Whew! My mom, best friend Beth, and I finally made it home after the big Houston Bridal Extravaganza show today. I had heard it was going to be big and long so I made sure we were all prepared to get there at opening which was 10 am so we could hit the ground running. What I was not prepared for was how mentally exhausting it would be. And also a lack of food by caterers and bakeries that were trying to get you to book them. Hello! How can I book you if you don’t have at least a sample at the show?? I don’t feel as if we got too much crossed off our list but going was very informative. I was able to score four dance lessons for Mike and I for only $10 which is an awesome bargain. I also have the bridal party tuxes under control with Mike getting a free tux and the rest of the party getting free shoe and vest rentals. I thought that was nice of me Oh I scheduled my first dress shopping appointment at Alfred Angelo so I am excited about that. Out of all the fashion shows theirs was the best. The florists were all scary. I just can’t get past paying $200+ for a bridal bouquet so I’m going to have to work on that one. I am not a flower person so it really just floors me. Maybe I can find some nice, cheap flowers to use instead of roses and such.
