Time for a Wedding update!

It's been so long since I posted i had to go back and review my own blog!! Last week was spring break from school for me so it was a week long wedding work  week! My mom came up to visit with me so that we could get as much done on the wedding as possible considering the upcoming months will be packed full of events (other than my wedding) that it would be very challenging for us to squeeze it in.

  So to fill you in on the progress.. We now have less than 3 months until the wedding!!

• We have now received all of our bridesmaids gowns and all but one have been picked up and all of them fit just as they were order to fit (one will need to be altered but we knew that from the beginning) My wedding dress is scheduled to arrive by the middle of next month and once that arrives we will decide on a veil and or headpiece.  My wedding shoes have been order and will arrive about the same time as my dress.  My bridesmaids shoes are in the process of being purchased(as they will double as gifts).  Our flower girl's dress is order and not sure when it will arrive but when it does the whole top will need to be remade so lets hope it gets here soon! One of the ring bearers has a tux and the other one still has to be purchased.   All hair appointments have been scheduled.  Our groom now has a tux and 2 of the 4 groomsman have been fitted! 
  
• We have a confirmed HONEYMOON! Which I was beginning to think would never come through! We will be going to Masunutten VA thank you Uncle Bill and Aunt Linda for you help w/ that!!  
  
• We have our reception decor: candles, votive, and the necessities ( table cloths, napkins, forks, plates, & cups).  Our flowers have been order and mostly paid for thus covering centerpieces, boutonnieres, corsages, and bouquets. We have gotten lots of volunteer chefs to help prepare our pot luck food so I believe food is taken care of (this is the one item i personally have not been handling) Items for the reception that are still lacking are: guestbook, music, greeters, toasts, cake cutting knife, toasting glass (bride and groom) 
  
• As for the cake, I am still planning on making it.  I am half way through my 2nd Wilton cake decorating course and am now learning about fondant which is what I want to use with the cakes.  While mom was here we made a few to practice and were very please with the results to Cake is till a go! 
• We have a photographer confirmed and I believe a videographer (Zach's working on this so I'm not sure if its confirmed) 
• For the ceremony we now have, benches, arch, vases(for decor) and flowers to run the aisle, we have an officiant, and we are lacking supplies for a sand ceremony and the vows to be said.  My mom is working on putting together the programs which will be handed out at the ceremony.  We are still lacking transportation for the bride and her mother from the dressing location to the ceremony as well as transportation for those who are not able to walk to and from the reception to the ceremony.  
• Invitations are almost finished! Each one was made by hand with the help of my groom, mom, and a bridesmaid!
• Our wedding website is up and running with the most up to date information as well as rsvp online! which i love! 

At this point I think that we have everything mostly done for the wedding.  I am still projecting on finishing the invitations to be mailed out by the end of the month, practicing on the cake, finding music. My mom and Zach are working on many of the other task that I have mention as still missing... 

But considering this is my first wedding that I will be attending and planning and my mom's first wedding to be planned WE would love any advice you may have on things we may be forgetting or not thinking about... Or just advice in general!!! 

Sorry for the long winded post but as much as I wanted to update you all it also has helped me map out my to do list!!
