I had a super wedding-chore day today!! Wanna hear about it? Well, I’m going to make the bouquets with FAKE FLOWERS!!  (Gasp!) That shit is expensive…but not as expensive as real flowers. So I made my way over to Michaels to buy the rest of the flowers because I’ve got to get something done. What did I find there, you ask? A giant bin of flip flops, two for $3. BWAH!? AND I didn’t have to fight the crowd at Old Navy? I’m Ron Burgundy?

Once I got inside the store, I notice all flowers are buy one get one free. Yahoo! The wedding gods are looking out for me today, for sure. I believe I’ve got all the fake flowers needed for the bouquets, but math isn’t my strong suit, so we will see.

The lady at the register told me not to worry about the initial total because it quickly reboots to reflect the sales. I stared at the register because I love me a good bargain, and $160 quickly went down to $100! Yowsers, I saved $60 by chance, stumbling upon a sale.

I was also able to call Julie’s Bridal to confirm the ordering of the bridesmaids dresses, and the shop owner listed all the dresses off for me. Now I can show you which dresses the girls picked out.

I also gave a call to the woman who was supposed to call me about the room block in February. I put my best sweet voice on and left her a voicemail about the room block. She’s British…so just listening to her voicemail made me happy.

I saw a ton of frazzled brides in Michaels with weddings within the next couple months. One of them struck up a conversation with me about her florist not listening to her. The sample bouquet she saw was not what she had asked for. I looked at her and said, “I was so nervous about that happening to me, I decided to make everything.” She looked at me like I had eight heads, but I’m betting that she wishes she had enough time to do it herself.

Don’t you love the new camaraderie you have with all the future brides out there? I love talking to other brides!
