Flowers - should I really take this on?

I made a decision a few weeks ago to cancel my florist order. Costs were getting out of hand and this was an easy chop for me. First of all because I already have flowers incorporated from my Sam's order and secondly because they just weren't that important to me. The little girls will hold pomanders and I had also bought them parasols, but I'll give them to the big girls to carry. Mr. S kept trying to talk me into just getting my bouquet - we could then preserve it, but at $180 for just that, it seemed excessive. The decision was made.

When I started organizing everything into totes though, I realized I had a bunch of flowers at the house that could be used and I actually wouldn't have to buy much if I went with fake arrangements. Plus, this way my bouquet is already preserved. I had a ton of energy last week, so this is what's done. I'd really love comments.

Mr. S's Boutonniere.

All of the boutonnieres

I also made corsages, but the pictures are just on my camera phone, I'll have to take pics later.

I haven't completed my bouquet yet, but here is two different versions:
Mostly green (I bought "real" roses after this that I will use instead of the bulk flowers that I mocked it up with)
Mostly white (using the "real" roses)
Which bouquet would you go with for my green and ivory colored wedding? What do you think of my DIY-boutonnieres?

Weather Stalking

I've started...I'm now weather stalking. Our wedding day doesn't show in the 10-day forecast yet, but we leave on Wednesday, so that whole week also matters to me. So far the weather outlook doesn't look to bad, in fact it may be downright COLD for the Arizona people coming in:
Will you start weather stalking as it gets closer to time for you?

2 weeks - oh my!

I just posted for august15bride and it made me realize that in two weeks I'm going to be sitting in her shoes. At the moment I write this - in two weeks - my hair and makeup will be done and I'll be waiting to don that pretty dress. Wow!
Good luck to all other brides getting married today and to all those freaking out about the last details like me.

Congratulations august15bride!

Good luck and congratulations today. I hope it all goes well and I'm sure you'll look so beautiful.

In the final stretch

We're in the final stretch and I'm trying to get things done. One of my major tasks the last couple of days was to create setup directions for the wedding coordinator. I also included a site map to show her where things should go. I have posted it on google docs to share here. The other document I created for her was a schedule for the weekend. There's some great ones on wedding bee wiki which is what I used. I'm very anal about being on time and on schedule, so hopefully this will help me stay sane.
What are you doing to make sure your wedding is set up the way you want it or to stay on schedule?

I only really have 20 days

How do I figure out that math when there's actually 23 days left? We actually leave for Lake Okoboji on the 26th. Everything has to be done, or the project has to be forgotten by then. That's one problem with having a semi-destination wedding.
I don't have a ton of things to get done, although last night instead of helping my to-do list, I've decided to add to it (I'm making my own bouquets - crazy, I know). I just need to stay on top of my list and TRY not to add to it. I think I can get it all done.
Anyone else have weird math when counting down to your big day?

Getting things accomplished

This week has been very productive. Last week I wrote about how much I still have to do and I realized today that between what got done this weekend and during my daughter's sick day I was able to get half of the items checked off in addition to some that were not on that list (Yay me!). We're coming into the last days (24 now) and I'm not going to have as much time to dedicate to the wedding because of life going on. This weekend is full because we have to clean the stupid rental house that the last renter destroyed (ugh) and I have to take my daughters school shopping (I can't believe the summer flew by so fast), next weekend is Mr. Snowflake's and Twin Snowflake's birthday, so that means I really only have one more weekend to get things done - the last weekend bore the wedding - of course that's already full of last minute food shopping, my hair appointment, and packing. In the middle of all of that I still have work, school registration, back to school night, first day of school, and my work shower. Whew! Sounds like I need another sick-kid day (kidding).
How are you coping with getting everything done right now if you're close to your wedding date? If you're not, do you have a plan in place so that you can get it all done when the time comes?
