I Won Again :-)

I went to another bridal show on Saturday and had a great time. This one was smaller than most I have attended. I actually found out about it through the florist appt JJ and I went to on Thursday, Nov 18th. Adi, the florist is wonderful. . . But, I'll get to that in a minute. . . So, although the bridal show was small, they had great vendors and a fabulous fashion show! And, the best part was ALL of the brides who attended won prizes. They gave us all enough tickets for 1 per vendor plus 1 extra for a vendor who we will really wanted that extra chance to win. Each vendor had a basket on their table for the tickets. What did I win? I won a 30 min massage at HealthQuest in Grand Blanc, and I won 2 Gift Certificates which they will combine for a Wedding Planner through Merry Events :-) Yay! That is the one I wanted the most and with the 2 gift certificates it brings it within reach :-) And, then I was absolutely elated when Adi, our florist came over to me after the fashion show and told me she knows I didn't win it, but she wanted to give me the beautiful gift set I was eyeing at her table! It is gorgeous. . . It is a white satin gift set with crystals and pearls (just like my dress) which includes a garter, ring bearers pillow, flower girl basket, and guest registry. It is a beautiful criss-cross pattern with the satin ribbons and sparkles with the crystals and pearls bring the whole thing together to match my dress. . . They drew for a couple prizes between each of the sets for the Fashion Show. Then, at the end of the Fashion Show they had all the brides come up to the front to catch the bouquets from each of the models in bridal gowns. It worked out perfectly as there was one bride for each model. . . lol

JJ and I have been working avidly on our Save the Dates. . . We are almost ready to send them out and I am so excited they look even better than I had hoped. . . I am so lucky to have such a wonderful man who is so involved and incredible!

Crafting

We ordered our Save the Dates on Nov. 1st :-)
So very excited about the Save the Dates... I spent months looking through catalogues, ordering samples, and thinking, dreaming, thinking. Thankfully, once I decided on the basics my Maid of Honor help me pick out the details... Took it home to JJ and after a couple more tweaks we finally ordered them! I can't wait for them to arrive! Now, the crafting projects will soon begin. . . Also, planning to review the guest list again... We originally wrote it about a year ago, so I'm sure we need to update it. Next on the agenda is figuring out which picture to put on our personalized postage stamps...LOL
