Blue blue blue hydrangeas!

img_2389Shot by Cheri Pearl and found via Junebug Weddings Best of 2008 (definitely worth flipping through). Love those flowers! Love love love them! They are so perfect for what I thought I was going for, but florist says no go because hydrangeas out of water on a hot August day are too hit or miss. Best not to get too attached to anything when wedding planning.

If only I could DIY my shoes.

That’s kind of along the lines of what I have been looking for. I wanted green shoes but gave up, blue shoes seemed easier, yet when I find them, they never have my size! It’s incredibly frustrating. I guess that color is last season.

These Nine West shoes are cute but it’s not quite the right shade of blue. They’re an option for settling.

My search has at least pointed me to some good sources for evening shoes in Vancouver. After 5 is an evening wear (I actually saw a dress there that I thought would make a very nice wedding dress, strapless lace with a full skirt, and it was only $300!) store in Oakridge Mall that carries Nina shoes, so does Romia Shoes in Richmond Center and the best selection I found is at Lord’s Shoes on Granville.

The wedding has taken over my life

In the time I’ve been MIA invitations went out and RSVPs have been trickling in. It’s exciting to check the mail every day and see who is and isn’t coming.

After having some second thoughts and moments of panic, I’ve resigned myself to making my dress. Fabric has been purchased and I made a huuuuuuge cutting table that is going to save my life for this big project. I’ve dabbled a little in tulle, but am making an excuse that a lack of shoes is holding up the show.

I have been on a relentless hunt for shoes. I am so tired of searching for shoes.

Have met with some florists and have had centerpieces on the brain.

Food tasting this week, menu has been on the brain as well.

We decided not to have a cake. I am thinking ice cream cups of sorbet on a cake stand. The search for cake stand rentals turned up options that cost $100 (Did I mention the quickly ballooning budget has also been gnawing at my brain?). Then I found this lovely list of DIY Cupcake Stand options. Jackpot. Another thing to add to the DIY list?
