Inch by inch, row by row...

So the wedding is slowly but surely taking its kickass form! As you all know, the date is set, venues are booked, the wedding party is finalized, and the wedding dress has been tried on, loved, and purchased. However, I thought I'd clue you in on a few other things that have taken shape as well.

I'll start with the wedding colors. We are going with dark pink, dark purple, ocean blue, gold, and (obviously) white. I won't give too much away as far as who will be wearing what colors because I want our guests to see everything with fresh eyes on the big day (I won't even let Adam see the shoes I'll be wearing). Flowers are yet to be decided upon, I think we're going to get them wholesale at the Boston Flower Market via my awesome bridesmaid Claudia's retail connections, but they will definitely fit within that color scheme.

In addition, we have also hired our friend Sarah Ganzhorn, who just so happens to be a fabulous photographer, to capture all the amazing moments that are sure to pass by far too quickly. We have also hired a professional videographer, Timothy Bakland. Hopefully this will motivate me to hit the gym a little harder :).

We will also be having a DJ at the reception, but never fear! He is very cool and we have discussed the nature of our wedding at length with him. The music will be classy (for the most part), and the interruptions will be minimal, aside from the announcing of the bride and groom and wedding party, etc.

Lastly, for all my friends and family at home, Adam and I have made our flight reservations! We will be in Boston early on Monday, August 8th (to make sure we have plenty of time to get the marriage license squared away), and leaving to fly back to Seattle later in the day on Wednesday, August 17th. More details to come about bachelor/bachelorette parties and all that fun stuff.

Obviously, a lot of other things have taken shape as well, but as I mentioned before, I like to preserve the element of surprise in some capacity.

Hope you're all well! And follow my blog! I know it's read pretty often because of the view counter, but I only have two followers and *ahem* 0 comments. That's just sad.

Love,

Mandy
