Bargains ands Dilemas

So lately I have had a few fun wedding finds, but have most stumbled upon a few dilemmas. Most involving which DIY projects to do myself. I didnt make my wedding dress or bridesmaid dresses because I was concerned about time. I didn't do my invitations because I wanted them to be pretty and didn't have the motivation to really throw myself into that project. I do not regret any of those decisions. However, now I have entered into the questionable state of "what is my time really worth, and what is really worth my time?" dilemma of DIY projects.

My first find was in my veil. I found my veil a few days ago and I am SO EXCITED about it! It ended up being extremely simple and cheap ($60) because I found an Erica Koesler outlet in North Hollywood. Who would have known my dream veil was a "classic yet vintage style"...pretty much sums up what every vendor has told me about my wedding. :) Anyway, I, being in a very bridal mood, drove home and tried on both my dress and my veil at the same time. I was amazed at how well the veil I had just blindly bought fit with my dress...fabulous!

I also went to target where I found my $5 white flip flops I intend to wear for the reception. Couldn't be happier about that find. :) Starting thinking if I should purchase a few extra sets of flip flops to put out on the dance floor for people to use during the reception...hum....extra work or worth the extra?

Also started, insanely I am told, thinking about DIYing my flowers. Crazy? Maybe....need a lot of thought about this one. I am going to start my flower porn hunt tonight and see what I come up with.

Also DIYing my escort cards, menus, and programs. Want to start on those projects as soon as possible. Have already found some inspiration but now am on the hunt for the right materials. I could be crazy...

Don't like the idea of a unity candle. Like the idea of sand ceremony...but mostly because I would want to keep the sand somewhere in the house as a reminder of our vows. Mr. Scott reminded me of the verse that talks about not building your house on the sand but on the rock...hence decided against the sand. Don't know what else to do, but trying to get creative...

I haven't figured out what I am walking down the aisle to, but really want to try to sort through the music. I really like the idea of musical soundtracks as the idea of walking down the aisle to the Wedding March gives me visions of marching away from my groom not toward him. So, yeah...I'll need to work on that too...

So many dilemmas and I am realizing so little time. :) Tonight it's off to watch Mr. Scott's genius on the computer as he tries to mail merge our addresses onto our our envelopes. In the meantime, I'll keep you posted because apparently I have a long list of things to think about...
