The Venue: We have booked the venue. The Old Bedford School is ours on September 24, 2011. I'm so excited that it was available for the date we wanted!
The Flowers: I went to Mississippi Oct 31 through Nov 2 with my family. On the way back home we stopped in Arkansas at the place where my aunt buys flowers. We bought enough flowers for my bouquet, my bridesmaids' bouquets, table decorations, and arrangements for the stage. Now my aunt just needs to put them together.
The Dress: I bought my dress! On the block where we stopped to buy flowers there is also a bridal shop. While we were there we decided we might as well check it out. I found 2 dresses there that I liked. I tried the first one on and I loved it! I tried the other one also, but I didn't like it as well. So we bought the first one! And it was only $250, which is all I was hoping to spend on a dress. It is a little big, but that's fairly easy to get fixed.
The Pics: On November 6, Jay's friend Adam took engagement pictures for us. It was a lot of fun. First, we went to the Old Bedford School and took a few pictures outside. Here are my favorites from there:
Then we changed clothes and went to the Grapevine Botanic Gardens. Here's the best of those:
Our next steps are to finalize our guest list, send out Save the Dates, and start looking for a photographer since Adam is a groomsman. A little over 9 months to go. I'm so excited!
