Two months to go.
The church carpet is a pale blue and the attendants' dresses are pale green and shell pink, so the florist has come up with an idea for bouquets that use different kinds of flowers in each of the 3 colors so that each bridesmaid has a different bouquet. My favorite is pale green hydrangeas, shell pink roses, and blue delphinium!
Her reception will kind of be like a Southern church "dinner on the grounds", if you know what that is. Lots of good hearty Southern favorites! She and her future mother-in-law have found several pink and green teapots which, when filled with small flowers, will be the centerpieces along with some quilts that will somehow be used in there.
It just hit my husband that not only will he have to miss going to the local high school football game (that 1 son is playing in and 1 daughter is cheering at) for the rehearsal dinner but he'll miss the afternoon SEC football game during the wedding! Too bad for him, the Dawgs will survive without him for a day!
