Diving into the Planning!

Its been so crazy around here with all the planning that I really haven't had time to get on here like I wanted to!

Anyways, since my last post, we pretty much started planning the wedding right away. We decided on a date pretty much the night we got Engaged. We decided on March 26, 2011.

My parents came up the next weekend and we went and looked at venues and we had one decided on and pretty much booked by the time they left on Sunday. We decided on the Holiday Inn at The Campus. They had too much of a sweet deal to pass up. But the big bonus was that they take care of set up and clean up and if we reserve a room for the Sunday Brunch then they even take care of the presents at the end of the night. So when the reception is done all we have to do is go upstairs to our rooms!

Next we decided on a Church for the ceremony. Since we really don't have a church home here in Manhattan, we decided to ask my parents Preacher from Sedan to do the ceremony for us. So all we had to do was decided on where we wanted it. I called two churches in town that we had been to and asked for some information. One church told me to call them back in October, and the other was willing to work with me right way. Since I was not willing to wait to start major planning until the 6 month mark, we decided on the University Christian Church. It is a very cute and simple Church and we look forward to working with the Staff.

The very next weekend my mom and I went to just start looking at dresses, and the Fourth dress I tried on was THE ONE! I was really not expecting to find my dress that day and especially not that fast! But I did while we were there my mom found her dress too! It was such a fun trip and a very productive one too!

Colors were picked before I had even gotten the ring, LOL. We are going with Navy Blue and Hot Pink. I love the two colors together! After finding my dress, we can't use White everything has to be Ivory so all together everything looks great!

Last week my mom came up again and we went and talked to a Florist. I'm pretty sure we are going to go with her, however I'm still waiting to get my quote back. That evening we met with a potential Photographer. FDH and I liked her so much that I wrote out the deposit check right there and signed the contract so now we have our photographer! And, Tuesday we dropped off our deposit and contract for the DJ!

Just yesterday we ordered the Flower girls' dresses from Dillard's. They are ADORABLE!! And my bridesmaids and I have a date set at the end of September to go dress shopping for them!d

Everything is just falling into place perfectly! I'm so excited! Most everyone keeps telling me that I've really gotten an early start...but I've only got 7months left! Anyways as we get closer I will probably post some spoiler pictures!
