homestead wedding prep to do lists

we’d like to say that we’re sorry for posting irregularly the last few weeks. although we wish we had time to post every day, we’ve got a pretty good excuse…

non-stop wedding preparations!

exciting but very busy. a lot has been going on around here on the homestead–too much honestly to explain right now–but we can give you a simple lowdown of what important “to do”s we’ve got coming up this weekend before we say “we do” on the 27th.

here’s what’s in store for this weekend:

• hanging more mood lighting (i.e. christmas lights) in the basement since we’ll be using the space for the rehearsal dinner and before and after the ceremony.
• cleaning out the carport (which has lately the become the reject section for stuff that we’re not quite sure what to do with) and relocating a lot of the plants we have in the carport.
• painting a portion of our basement wall sky blue. this is part of our wedding “guest book.” more on this later!
• making emma’s garter which is the “something blue.”
• writing and printing our wedding program (which we’re calling a leaflet in honor of the fall color scheme). we’re really excited about this one and can’t wait to share what we’ve done with this!
• designing and making emma’s “veil”… which is much cooler than a traditional veil.
• meeting our hay bale delivery tomorrow (55 bales) and storing the bales. these will seats at the wedding!
• working on our party favors.
• weeding and pruning our garden beds and herb bed.
• killing yellow jacket nests that are right by where we plan to get married!
• choosing and cutting fabric to wrap our bench boards in and wrapping them. also, choosing all of our tablecloth material.

so that’s where we stand right now! we hope that we can get back into the swing of writing every week day,  but we’re just not sure if we’ll have the time. if we don’t, we will certainly start back up on monday, september 29th (after the big day!).

wish us luck!
