Last night we stayed up late watching Veronica Mars and painting all sorts of fun stuff involving paint. When looking at the wedding site a few days ago, Kate and I realized we're going to need aisle markers of some kind. We went off to Urban Ore (this amazing Goodwill of sorts for all types of household needs) and found jar lids for something like 10 cents each. Last night we painted them green and purple, and today we're going to glue fabric flowers in each one. The lids are going to be attached to fabric, and - viola! - we have aisle markers!
We wanted to decorate the walls of our reception site, but weren't sure how. Then we went to our friend's house, who had these beautiful 5 x 7 photos hanging on her walls with clothespins and ribbon. We stole the idea, and last night we painted the clothespins with some great green and purple metallic paint. Paired with paint chips we "stole" from Home Depot, we will hang wedding blessings (which people bestowed upon us when we announced our engagement) on the walls along with other meaningful decorations.
And other big and fun updates include, I had my first wedding dress fitting last week and my dress fits! Whew. I was afraid it was going to be too big, but when tied up correctly, it looks great. I think it'll look even better without a train, missing a set of tulle underneath, and with a bit of a hem. Sorry, friends, no pictures of that quite yet. I guess you'll just have to wait for a few more weeks...
