Wow, have I had a full on week or what!? Who knew
organising a wedding could be so exhausting! I am trying to get as much done as
I can so that I don’t have to worry about it later on, so on Saturday I grabbed
one of my Bridesmaids, who just so happens to be Kym (my other bridesmaid lives
away) and my mum and we went shopping for bridesmaids dresses. Well, I soon
found out that it isn’t as simple as what it sounds! We went to every dress
shop in Townsville looking for dresses and didn’t find anything! Well, anything
that I wanted them wearing. My biggest problem was that I had been looking
online a lot and on Pinterest a LOT! So when you have an idea in your head of
what you want your wedding and bridesmaids to look like, in reality, it can be
very hard to find. I did end up finding some (online) and am waiting for them
to show up but I am so nervous because sometimes things don’t look the same as
their photo, especially clothing. Fingers crossed and I will be sure to keep
you up to date on how it all turns out.
So that was Saturday. On Sunday, I grabbed my mum and hit
the Wedding Expo that was on in town. Now, if you haven’t been to Townsville in
January before, it is HOT and HUMID. So unfortunately it wasn’t as pleasant as
what it could be when you don’t have sweat running down your leg. Most of it
was in air-conditioned rooms but some was on a deck (not air conditioned) and
the Fashion Parade wasn’t either and that went for over an hour! What was great
about it was going around seeing all the different things that can be done and
meeting photographers and planners and decorators etc. Afterwards, we went home
and poured all of the brochures on the table and went through them all trying
to figure out which ones to choose. It kind of made me even more confused and
exhausted afterwards!
It didn’t end there though…. The next day was the last
day my mum was going to be in town to help me so I decided to steal her again
for the morning and make a visit to the florist and to see where we can get
invitations done.
There is sooooo much to do and to decide and for an
indecisive perfectionist like myself, it can be torture! But, I am getting
there. My partner, Tiago is back from being away for work now so he is helping
with the chopping block. Of course I value his opinion, but if I don’t like it,
we will go with mine J
I will be sure to keep you up to date and please let me
know if you have any helpful suggestions.
Until next time,
Kristy xo
