80 Days!

I know it has been forever since I have updated the blog and there is so much to say so I will just get right into it. We found Kellie, and her company Vanity Room to do hair and makeup for my sister and me for the wedding. I was able to schedule my trial run for today and was completely in love with everything she did. I actually stopped noticing the fake eyelashes after a few minutes and the makeup lasted for the rest of the day, despite 100 degree heat.

The picture is of the hairstyle I didn't choose so don't get excited :). I am trying to walk a fine line between filling people in with wedding details and giving away too much of the surprise.

We were also able to decide on the flower arrangements for the centerpieces. We went to a flower wholesaler in downtown San Antonio and bought every kind of purple flower they had that would be available in December and brought them home to figure out how the centerpieces were going to look. Nina and Mom spent a few hours doing the work while I offered suggestions and pretty soon we had a beautiful centerpiece worked out. The picture really doesn't do it justice. I am so happy with the way this is all turning out.
P.S. Ignore the blue plastic table cloth, I was trying to save Mom's table from scratches.

Finally, My something old, something borrowed and something blue are taken care of all in one! My Grandma started the tradition of wearing her aunt's glass bead necklace to get married in 50 years ago when she married my Papa and my Mom wore it 26 years ago when she married my Dad. Grandma was nice enough to have the necklace restrung and the clasp replaced and we added two blue beads for the "something blue". I am so proud to carry on the tradition and I love how it looks with my dress.

Ok, that's all for now but I will be sure to post more soon. Things are coming together so well and I am getting so excited as the big day gets closer!
