Oh Christmas Tree...

So I pretty much had nothing to do with putting this tree together, but isn't it pretty? My mom always does such a great job decorating the house. (She's mad at me because I took the photos before she had the skirt on it.) 

The trip home has been productive so far. We met with the florist and it went really great. Ladies in the Northwest Indiana area should consider talking with Dan at Earthly Enchantments. We explained out vision and he jumped right on board, telling us what we could do and suggesting back up flowers in case I can't have my bouquet of white ranaculous. I am happy with his suggestions and guidance. Now we'll just wait for the quote :) 

After Christmas we're meeting with the cater and picking out the suits for the guys. Check, check and check! We're looking at 6 months tomorrow...yikes!

Holiday Wedding Planning

Headed home for the holidays. My mom and I have tons of wedding issues to take care of. We're meeting with the caterer to finalize the menu and service details. We're taking Hill and my bro suit shopping so we can see what styles we like. We're making mock-up boutonnieres (more on that later) and, maybe most importantly, we're meeting with the florist to talk bouquets!

I love dahlias, but sadly, they are a fall flower and not available around the Midwest in June...or shall I say, not with our budget.  

Seriously? They're Fake?

I've seen these posted around the wedding blogosphere a few times this week, but didn't want to take a chance that any of you Indiana Brides might miss them. They are truly amazing. 

By DK Designs, clay flowers. That's right, clay, unwiltable, nonfading, undying clay.

They are as gorgeous as fresh flowers and somehow make me want to eat them...just a little.
