I'm starting to get frazzled thinking of how fast time is just flying by. Sunday was Vince & Marion's wedding and everyone kept saying "you're next!" AHHHH slooow down timeee!
Well over the weekend and yesterday I got a bunch of responses in regards to the "outdoor furniture" to create a lounge. My heart's really set on having one! Good thing is that there are 3 companies who all have something that would work. I've emailed all of them back after receiving their prices and am hoping someone will be able to offer me a discount. Keep your fingers crossed!
I also started looking up prices and selections for plates, utensils etc. I asked some friends if having disposable-ware was tacky and they both said yes haha. I was thinking of getting those clear, plastic plates and then putting a decoration with napkin/ utensils on top of it so that it would look nice. Plus, they have clear plates (real ones) that I'm actually a big fan of. The problem with our outdoor venue is not having these little things come with the space, as you would with a hotel or restaurant. I like that I get to customize everything, it's just a little more work/ can get pricey when you multiply .90/ plate x 200 people and then .60 a fork, .60 a knife, .60 a spoon x 200 too! I've already pretty much decided we will have nice, disposable glasses though. Too many chances for people to drop it dancing or accidents to happen. I found clear plates with rhinestones all around it and LOVED them...but at $7 a plate, I dont' think it's gonna happen!
I also got a quote from a bartending service. It includes the bartenders, the station, ice, mixers and more. Seems pretty convenient but I have no idea if the price is reasonable or not. I emailed my wedding coordinator and am just waiting to hear back.
Lastly, I finished the hair piece for the girl who emailed me via the smp website. It was a lot harder than Kendra's was, not sure why... one reason might be that the embellishment was HUGE, and so I had to take it apart and make it smaller. Luckily it didn't fall apart and I was able to make it work. In the end I think it worked out... I hope she likes it!
