So, I have changed a lot of my bridesmaid plans, etc. within the past little while in an effort to get back to what I really want my wedding to look like. I seem to play around with other people's ideas until I can't stand it any longer and then I revolt and go back to what I originally wanted anyway. But at least then I can say I tried their idea ;) Brilliant, right?
So here's the deal. First, it was marine blue, gold and silver. Then it was black, gold and silver. Then it was green and silver and black. And now it's back to black. Although it might end up a charcoal grey, which I would be okay with. The idea now is that instead of having colored sashes, I will have the bridesmaids all with a very brightly colored bouquet of a different color which matches their shoes which matches the groomsmen's ties/vests. (I am not sure if I want them in vests or not yet). I think it looks really nice and will meet my mom's desire for color and my desire for bridesmaids in black...sort of.
And we're finally getting catering almost finalized. Josh and I just have to make a few more decisions on appetizers and I think we'll be good/ready to go. It's kinda nice to know it's almost all done since it's so incredibly stressful and takes so long to figure out... And, the cool thing is that I'm thinking I will make my bridesmaids' bouquets out of artificial flowers so they can keep them as a keepsake (I'll get them all diamond charms or something as well) which will cut down on costs a lot too! If I only need one bouquet, plus corsages and boutonnieres...that'd be pretty awesome. :) I am touching base with the florist in December and then again in March to finalize plans, etc.
Anyway, that's all the wedding stuff that's been going on. Josh is doing well at UPT. He had a formation solo the other day and has been getting caught up on flights after being down for half a week for weather and a week with a viral infection. He's finally ready to get back in action. I'm so proud of him - and it's only 50 days until I see him again :)
