Gown Design Presentation

As usual, the fiance and I have been super busy with work, so it took a while before we got to do wedding stuff again. We actually forgot about our wedding for a few weeks there, amid a haze of overtime and holiday/weekend work. We had to put off supplier meetings, and even simple research. Now that my big work project's winding down and I have my weekends back, and the fiance's also slowing down with work, we're busy catching up with our preparations. It's really a challenge trying to find the time for it.

Anyway, yesterday, we made it to our second meeting with my gown designer at last. After making our reservation deposit (a supplier standard to block off your wedding date), we had a meeting for the presentation of designs. I was shown three sketches to choose from, but I changed my mind about what I wanted so I was sketched another one on-the-fly. I had a hard time articulating what I had in mind, and I felt like I was too weird, not wanting any frills. The fiance actually kind of went on groomzilla mode too trying to help me, haha, but it was great because he asked all the right questions. Despite the trouble getting there, it was great. It became a collaborative effort, and I was happy with the result!

Sketches


The fiance also checked out the fabric swatches for his suit. He's still on the fence about getting it made there though, so we'll have to do some inquiries at other suit-makers first. We'll see what happens. 


Swatches

Whew. So glad we're at least back on track, though we still have a ton to do. December's always a busy month, but hopefully, we'll be able to get a lot of wedding preps done before work gets demanding again.
