Dueling Dresses

---

Phew! Just when things seem all relaxed and progressing so nicely, the little things come bite you. We’re pushing ahead trying to make ordering deadlines for a variety of things. So far, so good! Who would have thought finding the right dress would be so challenging! 🙂 I think my dress was the simplest to find! Now we’re looking for mom dresses and grandma dresses and little girl dresses, oh my!

 

Added to that, Charlotte requested a short dress for dancing because she is concerned her long dress will be an impediment to proper dancing. 😀 Go figure.

Flowers

We just got our initial quotes back from our 2 final florists, and are now trying to decide between them. It’s fun to give your vision to someone and see how they interpret it and what they end up with. My main requests were to 1) use native and/or local plants as much as possible, 2) avoid things that would need to get trucked in from way out of area, and 3) I would like to use more parts of the plant than just the inflorescence (flower parts).

 

However, I completely underestimated how much is involved in flowers and particularly, wedding flowers. Geez. It makes me just want to walk out into a meadow the day of and make a pass through the wildflowers…there. Done. 🙂 Luckily, Jeff’s mom is awesome and they are handling the rest of the flower coordination to work out the details from their end in Chicago.

 

I hope you all will love the end product!
