Last Vender

So I was in between which florist to choose from for the last week. The florist from a shop who was $2400 for my wedding, or the florist from her house who charged $2700. Our price range is $2500, and I loved Ms. More expensive but, she wanted ME to put the pears and water in the vases and put them in their appropriate locations. A. I don't have a planner and B. thats her job.

I e-mailed her today asking about her doing it, and time is money baby, she was going to charge $200 extra what a dink! I didn't want to have to deal with this crap on my wedding week, I just wanted it taken care of at a reasonable price. Plus on top of it I'd have to oh no "change her design" to fit my budget....boo!

So I ended up going with the less expensive florist in Fairfax, VA. And I'm soooo happy I did. It's going to end up being about $400 cheaper because of some idea changes. If anything is good about going to 3 different florists, it's that you steal their ideas and take them with you :)!

So we now have all of our venders signed and ready for our wedding in less than 130 days! Woot Woot

List of things left:

1. Buy wedding bands (we've been shopping and I found mine Today! and I still can't stop smiling)

2. Mom and I are going to sew our own table covers for the cocktail tables (because I'm too cheap to rent them each for $35)

3. Make the bridesmaids jewelry, and decide if I want to make vs. buy my own

4. Collect old photos of our g-parents and parents to display

5. finish any little secret crafts that we are doing for special touches
