Corsets, Andy & Deadlines

Pretty much all day yesterday Andy and I had a serious overview meeting about the wedding plans. We went through our massive knot.com checklist (completed & non-completed to) brush up on what had been done and what needs to get done. It was really cool to put our heads together again and brainstorm, as we have both been so busy working our tails off. We set deadlines for every purchase, porject and phonecall that needs to be made. This has been months of research and planning and now it's Go Time! We have a really clear vision of what we want and will be hacking away at all the actualizing tasks in the next 1 1/2 month to get a headstart and have relaxed time going into the wedding. Whirlwind Wedding Madnessssss!

On another note, today Mom and I bought some more pieces of fabric and crystal lace and then found the slip for my gown. Almost all the materials needed have been found, now I need to get a corset, shoes & accesories. I am so excited to see how it is going to come out and it's been so fun to work on it with my Mom!

Pots Saga

When we finally got the pot liners for the centerpieces they were too big and we couldn't figure out how to attach the bamboo to them to make the pots strong enough. That took a whole day to figure out!

Then Andy found some cheap terracota pots at Ikea that we could just paint gold. He called and the Brooklyn store had enough for us to get 10 12"pots with saucers. I drove up to the Brooklyn Ikea and found the pots, which I thought were too big also, but I bought them and lugged them home. I just wanted to get this project done with.

Of course, the next day Mom and Andy both tell me the pots are too big for centerpieces, which I agreed. Although we have decided to grow Bamboo in those for around the reception room, mostly because I refuse to have to lug them all back to Brooklyn!

Then Mom found the right size terracotta pots at Walmart, but all of there stores had a few of each. So the next day I spent driving to 4 different Walmarts in Monmouth & Ocean Counties piecing together all the pots and saucers I needed.

The best part of the story though is that Andy & Warren got together this past weekend and the plants are officially potted!!!! I love a Happy Ending!
