The Blonde Diaries

I didn’t realize that I haven’t given any wedding planning updates recently. I have a few things that I am hoping to get knocked off the wedding planning checklist this week starting with flowers, centerpieces, bridesmaids, and possibly a wedding cake baker/decorator. It should be a busy end of the week but at the same time really fun. My mother and I have appointments with two local florists and one cake baker. I have another one I am trying to squeeze an appointment in with so wish me luck.

I have 3 bridesmaids committed and I need to contact the last 2. Everyone is out of town so unfortunately, I am having to do all of my asking via email or phone calls which seems so impersonal to me. Maybe I will send cards and a small gift out in the mail later this week to personalize things and give everyone an early thanks.

Last week, I received my order from TheKnot.com which included a few “sample” centerpieces and a “sample” bridesmaid gift. I really liked the bridesmaid gift and the centerpieces – well 2 came out nicely and the third was hideous so I am sending it back and ordering one size up to see if that is the difference. I hope it is because I really don’t want to worry about things like this.

bridesmaid gift which will be filled with day of items we might need and personalized with everyone’s name:

Centerpieces:
Did not come with the greenery
the first one is full sized and the second is “favor sized” to fit on the tall tables.

More updates to come at the end of the week!
