Last night I headed up north to the Dallas area to visit my parents for the weekend, and then my mom is going to ride back with me to SA and stay for the week so we can get cracking on the never-ending to do list of wedding projects.

Here are a few things on the agenda:

• make a rehearsal dinner guest list
• make paper flower wreaths for centerpieces
• make paper flower pomanders for aisles
• make veil
• find something old, new, borrowed, and blue
• go thrifting for vintage handkerchiefs
• go thrifting for candlesticks and dishes for centerpieces
• go thrifting for napkin rings to paint
• go thrifting for baskets to hold programs, favors, etc.
• make christmas cracker favors
• hand embroider date under dress/on back of tie
• glitter clothespins for escort cards
• find bridesmaid accessories
• shop for MOB dress
• shop for fun socks for the boys

All while watching reruns of Friday Nigh Lights on Netflix. It sounds like a lot, and don’t worry it is, but my mom is awesome and together I know we can hammer a lot of this out. And Derek is pretty excited that he doesn’t have to rummage through vintage shops with me to find the perfect handkerchiefs anymore. Yay! The centerpieces and aisle decorations are going to be the most taxing so we plan to get a system down and then teach the bridesmaids how to do everything so that we can get a little assembly line going. As long as wine and cookies are involved, it should be a grand time :)
