I'm pretty stoked (not to mention hungry) picking all the menu selections out because I know that anything I pick will be delicious at Pierre's. I won't lie it's a pretty good feeling knowing your venue won't eff' things up.
I'm also pretty happy because it seems like we're doing ok on budget. We really haven't splurged on anything at all and I've been the best bargain hunter ever. So.....this is why I was thinking that it'd would be nice to be able to hire My Treasure Video as our videographers. Originally we didn't plan to have a wedding video but now I think I'm starting to regret it already. Maybe it's because My treasure video does such a great job?
Sigh. Lucas is not going to be happy with me.
In my defense though we are saving money on certain things. For one I'm not getting my stunning but ridiculously over-priced and stale wedding cake and rather opting for a more budget friendly yummy cake from Publix.
We're also saving money on flowers because I'm making my own Bridesmaid bouquets and aisle decor and now we're saving money on centerpieces because we're only going to need four tables and a sweetheart tables instead of six tables and a sweetheart table. Hmmm... I do plan on using a wedding canopy (I still need to convince Lucas) and I do plan on having smaller displays laid out during the cocktail hour.. ok. ok. so maybe with flowers we're breaking even.
I still think I've been doing a pretty good job.
