last minute projects / random thoughts
PHEW. we did our site visit with the caterer on tuesday. i got a ton of questions answered and felt such a rush of relief when it was over. while we were there we saw seven deer traveling together throughout the grass! i hope deer show up at our ceremony.
cory’s suit situation got worked out. he visited a tailor in town that we found through citypaper and she is making the men’s wearhouse suit work just fine. cory said she just put in a few pins and made the suit look incredible on him. she also took a look at the thrift store suit and said it would be fine to wear to more casual social situations, but that the men’s wearhouse suit was of good quality and should definitely be worn for a wedding. i’m so glad that’s taken care of. he’s picking it up on wednesday.
i’m worried about a petticoat i ordered online in the beginning of april. it still hasn’t come in and i need it, like, now. i gotta remember to give them a call first thing monday morning.
today we did a bunch of wedding shopping and i finally got down to business with some of the projects that needed to be taken care of. i stamped our jam jar favors after realizing burlap would not work on such tiny little jars (they’re only 1 oz):
and i stained the wooden numbers that will go on each of the reception tables:
we also found this little chalkboard we’ll be using in our makeshift photobooth so that people can write messages on it when getting their picture taken:
fun, right? jocelyn (our photographer) is helping us out by bringing her own big standing chalkboard to indicate that the photobooth is indeed a photobooth. it’s gonna be so cool.
i’ve been checking the weather as much as possible ever since i was able to access the ten-day forecast. here’s what was predicted when i checked it yesterday:
!!!
other things that are done: hair trial, makeup practice (i’ll be doing my own), seating arrangement (cory did a fantastic job) and the program and menu design. (will be printing those tomorrow. thanks, kat and whit!)

hi - I just found your site through Studio Mathewes’ blog! I’m so happy to have found a great resource from another Baltimore bride trying to be green. Congratulations, and I’ll be hoping for good weather for you on Saturday!
