My goodness. I think that I have just about wore myself out with all this planning!!!
Today I went to a wedding expo. I was just bombarded with everything!! I did find some really good things tho. I wish that my parents had given me a budget. Because. Now I want EVERYTHING! I did find this really cute place. Or.. coordinator maybe? Its called Rust & Lace. They don't have a website. Which I am really sad about. Because. They are absolutely amazing! They are everything vintage. Everything that I want.
They have the old luggage
Old doors
Old chairs
EXCELLENT! lighting
Anyways.. They are just perfect! but...the starting price is $2000! and. my parents would never give it to me. :( which i am very sad about. because it is perfect. What I think that they do is that they go and they set up everything. They come with everything like the linens. the chairs. and they just decorate everything. at least that is what i am getting from the flier that I got today. So. I think that in order for my parents to get it from me. I am going to try and compare what I can do by myself. And what they can offer. And if it is about the same amount of money, and looks bad. Then maybe they will go after this design stuff! which. i am really hoping for. :) so. i'm going to try and be sneaky and get what i want!
I think that today. I was blown away by the fact of how much everything is! like. it is so expensive! and i hate that so very much! And one thing that I am really wanting to splurge on is a good photographer. I think that I found her too. This is her website.
She is absolutly amazing. And. I really would like for her to do our wedding pictures. She starts at $1800. And. I think that this is something that me and kyle would really like.
Gabby will be taking the pictures at the reception and before the reception too. I think tho. That we want to make sure that the ones at the temple include gabby. NOT to down play gabby's talent at all! But she just cant take these ones. And. Also I think that if Jessica gets into photography like she is right now. We will let her take some as well.
Food....
I'm dont really care about. we are going to be keeping the costs down on this. And we aren't going to be making that a big deal.
Kyle will like that I found a Quartet for us. They do contemporary stuff. So. I think that if we asked them if they could play Light Outside - Wakey!Wakey! they could possibly do it. All I would have to do is find a pianist. And. I know a couple of those. But anyways. These people are called The Encore Quartet and I heard them today and they were really good. You should have seen their booth tho. They probably had. Maybe 4 ft wide by maybe 7 ft long and they were all cramped in there. I felt so bad for them. It was really tiny. Their prices are $400 for 1 hr. I might have to pay a traveling fee. but. since I went today I get $25 off. So. we might want to look into that. Because. I think that it would be excellent to walk down the aisle to that song. I'm not getting a dj. We are just going to have the music set up ourselves. and to play our music that we pick out. Maybe have someone in charge of it. But. Free. and that is what I like. That way I can spend my money, for my budget that doesn't even exist.
I also found the cutest little invitations. This place is called. Little Owl Letterpress. They are something that I am not willing to pay money for. But I will gladly take their idea's and make them myself. :)
Mom said that she is going to get me a sizzix big shot. and its basically something that presses things down. you can cut stuff. emboss stuff. and i just found out. letterpress stuff. so. :) this makes me happy. because then. I can make them myself! I just need to get a big shot. Which hopefully will be on Tuesday. At least ordering it. I will be getting it soon. so. that is good.
I am worn out. I have so much to stress out.
Graduation
Money( No budget)
Tables ( :( very sad at them)
Cake
Parking
Lighting
Bigger list. But. I dont really want to sound like I am complaining. Because this day will be amazing. As long as I get to do whatever i want. :) people should just understand that. and get that. and do it for me. so that way I would want to have a reception instead of dreading it. and make it look nice. which i am having a difficult time seeing that it will. All that matters is that me and kyle will be married. And that really is all i want.
