So, I know I said I wasn't going to do centerpieces earlier--- but, I've been thinking about it, and I decided I wanted to do SOMETHING. I definitely knew I didn't want to do flowers (I don't really like flowers AND the chairs in the attic are enough floral for me!), and I didn't want to do picture frames because... I don't know, it just didn't fit for me. So, I decided that I am going to make ribbon bouquets!
I originally wanted to do the mickey mouse ones, but I guess I'm just not crafty enough for them because it just looked like a huge blob when I did it! (I did steal that idea from another disbride--- unfortunately, I forget who.) So, I made the tradition ribbon bouquet instead: what do you think???
The white ribbon says "Happily Ever After." I'm going to make twelve of them, all different colors and patterns and stuff--- I really like the more eclectic, fun look. The bottom is this container of stuff I stumbled across at Michael's. (Actually, it was fate. I had taken a vase, a container of rocks, and a container of rose petals and I went into the wedding aisle to hide so I could experiment...) But, then I found a package that had fake flowers and two different kinds of shiny rocks all bundled together! It was terribly overpriced, but convenient, and pretty.
I also decided I'm going to keep MOST of the menu, but probably replaced the mixed veggies with the salad from the Spirit of Aloha dinner--- it's literally the best salad I have ever had and I think about it wistfully every now and then. (Cue corny music here.) Chris doesn't eat veggies anyway, so it's whatever I say goes.
Other than THAT, I haven't done much wedding planning. I did FINALLY, after searching and searching, find Disney ribbon at Walmart and spent my life savings on it ($3 for 3 yards, Walmart?? Really???) and I also won some epcot ribbon on ebay, which I am geekily excited for. I'm going to make another one on Sunday.
This is a little rant, but GAH! I've been so stressed out lately. The end of the semester is kicking my behind. My students are slacking off big time, and I'm exhausted and just don't want to deal with them anymore. I also have two 20 page papers to write by the end of the semester (research-intensive papers... I've started one of them, and I've been doing some research for the other one.) I ALSO had to teach my Jane Austen class on Tuesday and I'm getting observed and judged on my teaching on Monday. Oh, and I still have papers to grade, and another set of papers come in before the semester ends, and then I'll have to grade their finals too. AND I get my final paycheck on May 30th and then not another one until August 30th, so I've been job hunting so I can survive through July and August. GAH!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for the vent girls--- I just needed to get that out!!!
