One month away and there’s still a lot to do:

I’m still working on beads. I got to 550 stems for my bouquet and called it quits on that project. That’s still a hefty bouquet. I still need to assemble it in the final bouquet form, but the stems are done.

I’ve moved on to the tussie mussies, corsages, and boutonnieres, which is much more fun because I can get several individual items completed in a sitting. Last night I got one tussie mussie and one corsage done with several extra stems made for other things. Much better progress.

My plan for next week is to print the guts of the programs for folding and assembling on the weekend. I’m hoping that we can work on the assembly of the favors that weekend, too.

I should get a phone call from the bridal shop about a final fitting for my dress soon - the seamstress said she would be ready after Thanksgiving. I also need to get the velcro for the tiara/veil.

I need to wear both pairs of shoes and get the soles scuffed up. Otherwise, I’ll be sliding down the aisle.

I need to follow-up about the sound tech.

I need to follow-up with our church coordinators on the rehearsal agenda. I really do not want to turn into Bridezilla that afternoon.

I still need to buy a few things for the honeymoon. I also need to figure out what I’m taking on the honeymoon for packing purposes. Beau and I need to figure out if we’re going to pack all of our stuff in one bag with individual travel bags or in separate bags all together. I’m inclined to consolidate our clothes for the trip and have individual overnighter bags - the overnighters having the stuff we’ll need just for the wedding day (in my case since I’ll be getting ready for the wedding at the church)/night/next day so that we don’t even have to open the larger bag until we get to Arizona. Any suggestions from the peanut gallery?
