Its all over!

and it went beautifully...

Sight Visit

We went and met with the venue today, for a finalization of a lot of the details. I got the lay out of the room, finalized the menu, finalized the rehearsal dinner, picked out the linens, checked on the tent, we did everything!

The only thing that took me by surprise was the linens. I thought we would get chocolate brown but they didn't have it as an option anymore! So we ordered Rust, which is quickly becoming our third color. The guys ties are rust, rust is the accent color in the bouquets, so it makes sense to add rust in the napkins! Here is a sneak preview:

Rehearsal Dinner

Turns into second reception (technically first reception)! We decided to have a BBQ as our rehearsal dinner on Friday evening. I really wanted to use the tent and have it be casual and at the resort. But our caterer pointed out that many of our guests might be around and having a BBQ in front of them without inviting them would be weird and kind of rude. So we decided to extend the invite to all of the guests coming in Friday night (thinking that it wouldn't be more than half!) well it turns out almost ALL of our guests will be there Friday night and they are all coming! This is amazing but also crazy. I'm excited because secretly (ok not so secretly) all I really wanted was a BBQ wedding reception outside under a tent to begin with! So now its on, we get to have two receptions, one practice and one real. One for me and one for him. It will be super.

Thank you!

We have amazing friends. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G friends. They hosted a surprise Jack and Jill shower this weekend for us at our local watering whole, a German Biergarten. It was the most awesome shower EVER, and it came with the best slogan of all time.
Thank you guys so much, you truly are the best.

Cake Toppers Arrived

They are super cute! I love them. They are the perfect size too.

Almost there...

So I think the centerpiece is officially almost complete, haha. Here is the latest final version, I think there may be a few more tweaks in the works, and excuse the wrinkled pillow sheets.

The table "numbers" are going to be the different islands around the lake.
