Well, I think they might just make it in time! The bridesmaid dresses are due to arrive August 21 at the latest. What we are hoping is that they are similar to the bridal gowns which tend to arrive a week before their scheduled time. We are however going to have a back up plan and order similar dresses from another designer, Nicole Miller, that do not take as long to arrive and have them ready to go in case something happens to the Melissa Sweet dresses. Apparently, Evalina only needs 24 hours for turn around - worst case scenario - so fingers crossed the Melissa Sweet dresses will arrive and we won't have to resort to Plan B.
Invitations have started to be sent out - officially. I put the international and out of province invitations in the mail this morning and Dave and I are sitting down to finish the rest off tonight. So, according to our plan...all the invites should be in the mail by tomorrow morning!
That's it, that's all...for now!

90 Days and Counting!
Not that I haven't been counting all along, but we are officially down to 90 days! I can't believe how quickly time flies.
I had a dress fitting a week ago. I don't know if it is possible to love something more and more every time you see it, but that is what happens with my dress. I absolutely love it! I am so excited for my fiance to see me in it. I know his jaw will hit the floor! I love everything about it, the way it sounds, the way it moves, the way it feels...and of course the most important, the way I feel when I am in it!
We ordered bridesmaid dresses! The dresses are also from Melissa Sweet. We decided to save everyone the stress of my Mum making the dresses and to buy them. They aren't that much more expensive than if we were to go buy the silk ourselves...so for the few extra dollars it is worth it to get them set in. My sisters look fabulous in their dresses and they complement my dress extremely well. The catch, as of right now, they don't arrive until a week before the wedding. Evalina Schmidtke of Evalina Couture is in the process of trying to see if they can be delivered a week earlier so we have time for alterations and we aren't so close to the day. She has been an absolute joy to work with. You know when you walk into her salon that you will be treated like a princess and she does not disappoint. She is honest when it comes to what will look good and what won't. Evalina will not put you in an ugly dress. I don't think an ugly dress even exists at her salon.
What else...we are in the process of sending out our invitations. We bought $94 worth of stamps last week and are going to do all the stuffing and addressing tonight. This makes the whole wedding seem so much more real. Not that it wasn't before, but now, the invitations are going to be out and we are going to get all the replies and that makes me so excited!
WOW!!! 90 days! I can't believe it.
