So that's where I'm at on my to do list! And I wanted to thank all the sweet ladies who commented on helping me decide on a frame! My mom and I went to Michael's last Friday because they were having a 50% off sale on frames! And all of the gold frames that we tried with the print just didn't look right....I don't know if it's because it's a black and white print or b/c it's black and white on canvas but it looked off. I had originally not even considered a black frame b/c I thought it would be too dark but we found a really nice one and when I put the portrait in it the picture just POPPED and looked great!!! I'll post pics of it once we get it framed!! But thanks again for all of the input!!! More to come soon!!!

  3. Looks like it is all coming along! If you can, I would say buy a cake stand, then when you are done, you can probably sell it for $40 and end up spending less than a rental. =) just my two sense...

    and don't worry, Prep-e girl, I was totally laid back, and our wedding came out gorgeous!

  4. Wow, I am beyond impressed! You are moving along so well, and all the details sound amazing! I didn't officially change my name until 3 mos after my wedding, so if that doesn't get done don't panic ;)

    Have a great day!

  5. Thank you ladies!! I'm just trying to get it all done so I'm not scrambling a week before the wedding! So Prep-e girl you have nothing to worry about and like everyone has told me....the wedding will go on whether the little stuff gets done or not! You have the right attitude, I'm too high strung!

    And Katrina thank you thank you for the insight on the cake stand that was a great idea, I just went and bought one and am going to resell it after the wedding!

    Thanks again ladies! Have a great day! : )
