A Busy Month

We've taken a few trips this month that have to do with the wedding. About a week and a half ago, we went to Asheville with our florists/friends from Ninth Street Flowers - Larry and Lea (pronounced Lee). We did tablescapes (putting linens, flowers, plates, silverware, etc. on the table). As a result, we now have our linens and flowers for all events!

Karen did the trial run for hair while in Asheville and LOVED the way Anthony styled it.

This last weekend, while Michael was taking a class in Durham, Karen went to Florida. A lot got accomplished, but of course, there are more dress fittings to be done. We now have our kiddush cup that we will use at the wedding and all family events to come. It was given to us as a gift by Cindy, who is Nina's best friend (Nina is Michael's mom).

Karen chose a veil and headpiece and figured out that the shoes she likes best work very well with the dress. Going into the dress shop with 3 pair of shoes, you would expect one would work!

Joel the Jeweler has Karen's engagement ring in order to make a mould for the wedding band, which will fit flat against the engagement ring.

We're having a great time working on the details of the weekend. Responses have been pouring in and the hotel log is reflective of everyone else's excitement for the weekend, as many people have been booking rooms.

When making travel plans, please remember that everyone attending the wedding receives a ticket to tour the Biltmore house. Be sure to set aside a few hours to tour it!
