wedding looming overhead + flurry of ideas ensue.

We got our florist quote last week and have to finalize that by the end of this month and finish that up, take my mom there to put money down and such as we havent set up the formal contract yet or even reserved the day yet and that must be done by September.

One idea we had- we liked these hanging lights we saw at target made of metal, in a butterfly style, dragonfly and these clear white chinese style little cubes that light up with chinese characters on it [cant describe but if i find a pic on target.com, ill email you it] they are meant for patio decor but we were thinking of for our reception decor at wedding and also considering some chinese lanterns. this is of course dependent upon if we can do this without disturbing the reception halls walls and without breaking their codes and rules. Jimmy said he needs to talk to the lady Janice at the chapel again before we do this or go ahead with that idea. We'd of course like some feedback on what you think on this idea.

Oh here are some pix of ideas off target.com in reference to what I mentioned to u above!!

dragonfly lights- ten piece



there were some butterfly ones with a darkened tarnished silver look and a sort of teal color for butterfly stem but i cant find picture of it on target online

also the chinese white cubicle like lights arent to be found online either so i cant show u what i mean!

last, here are some lantern styles but want to look at other stores that sell lanterns before deciding. its an idea anyway :)



We spent Sat at Jimmy's parents for his dad's birthday and Sunday we finally got our Target Bridal Registry done. that was great fun. they had so much more fun, cute things than bed bath and beyond which is so proper and a bit snooty- plus it was a more relaxed experience since people werent hounding us to buy the most expensive brand or following us everywhere we turned to manipulate the choices we made so it was way better!

Also, we did receive the wedding invites via UPS last week so we have to start working on that this week. things are going to be so busy and stressful. I hope we can get everything done in time before the wedding. I am a complete nervous wreck these days and feel upset quite easily- its just been overwhelming lately!
