Lots to report! We have a minister! We have a photographer too! So a few key things have been booked. My mom and I went this past Tuesday to meet with the photographer we have now hired. Photography is definitely very pricey! Which I'm willing to splurge since the pictures will be the only physical reminder of the wedding day. At the same time I want a fair price, I'm not willing to shell out $8,000 for pictures! And don't think for a minute I'm exaggerating that price! There really are photographers trying to collect $8,000 for a wedding. I think once you mention it's a "wedding" the price doubles with a lot of vendors!
After much debate, numerous moments online looking, and one trip to actually see the dresses in person....I finally made a decision on the bridesmaid dress color. It is up to the bridesmaid to choose the dress. I set 3 guidelines: it must be a long dress that goes to the floor, it must be modest, and it must be in the color I selected. Other than that I'm open to whatever is chosen by the person wearing it!
I have also decided on the little flower girl's dress. My decision of putting the flower girl in a dress with color is not the popular choice. As the traditional choice is to have the flower girl all dolled up like a mini-bride in white. Perhaps if our bridal party was a bit larger I might go for that. But since our bridal party is so small I would prefer for the flower girl to match the bridesmaid not the bride! Therefore, I'm going away from tradition. She will wear the same color as the bridesmaid but will also wear a sash that will be white. See what I'm doing?...I'm flip-flopping tradition! Most would put the flower girl in white and a sash that matched the bridesmaid. I'm flip-flopping it....flower girl dress with color to match bridesmaid with a white sash to blend in with me, the bride!
Me....the bride! I like saying that! It's finally my time to be the bride!
