Music and stuff

What a week!

Just sent an email to a string ensemble out of Orlando, I think.

They seem nice...and I think they can do the song I want them to do. I just don't know if a harp will pull off the music I want.

I also sent ideas to the two florists I was recommended...so we'll see what ideas the come up with and how much they want to charge me for it!! I was looking online today and learning how to make one of those amazing manzanita crystal trees like I have in the earlier post about escort card tables. I could so do it. But the branches will be about $20-40, then the crystals are like $100. Plus rocks, paint, labor, flowers, etc... So we'll see what kind of price they give me then I'll debate making it myself. Who knows, maybe I will do a good job at all these crafts.

Joe and I picked out fabric and everything for the ring pillow I am making. I got it online...

Except mine is going to be this pretty charcoal shimmery fabric with a beautiful yellow charmeusey satin flower. The ribbon is dark gray too. I am going to knock it out when I go see Lea in June for Alysa's birthday. It's going to be amazing!

Finally, the caterer said they don't have the silver pintuck. But they do have silver bichon and platinum lamour. So I said, ok, send me some swatches. And I also asked her to send me some of any nice white linens they have, so that I can go that route if I want. Whatever.

Joe took his parents to both sites today and apparently they liked them! His dad just asked if we were going to leave the hideous florescent lights on, but of course I said no. Just candles and yellow uplighting! It's going to be romantical!!!

Anyhoo...not much to do tonight...would normally be date night for me and the Mr, but he is there and I am here. More wedding blog searches then!
