Bohemian King

*dreamy sigh*

So I've booked our hotel room at The Mansion and I am so excited about it!! We decided to splurge a tiny bit and get the upgraded, super romantic Bohemian King Suite overlooking the courtyard! Here's an image:

It features "vintage soaking tubs surrounded by lush drapery to lend a more open air romantic feel to the room" and "a bottle of wine and upgraded turndown service featuring our signature Mansion chocolate piano and one of our sumptuous bath products from Poseidon Spa".

Can you say amazing?! :D

I'm going to need some relaxation after this wedding too...gah! I've been a busy little bee trying to get deposits paid and dates reserved. Classes start back this Thursday and I wanted to get as much done as possible before settling back down academically.

Just since Christmas I have: reserved our rehearsal dinner site, ordered a DIY invitation kit, contacted five print shops to get the best price on invitation printing, contacted four Savannah bakeries to get a quote on our wedding cake idea, ordered gifts for all of the bridesmaids, purchased my bridal jewelry, set up my hair/makeup appointment, and now booked our wedding night hotel room. I've also come to realize that this whole budgeting thing really sucks. But we'll hopefully have a wonderful wedding that we won't spend the next thirty years paying for.

Speaking of jewelry, those earrings I posted ended up being sold out (and they graciously waited to tell me until almost a week after I purchased them). So I got these instead:
I think they'll still look great with the necklace, which is posted below. And I've kind of been dreaming of being a bride with chandelier earrings for a while, so maybe it was meant to be. :)

As far as bridesmaids gifts go, I think I managed to do something sweet for my girls without going broke. I don't think any of them read this, so I'll go ahead and explain. I found out each girl's favorite animal and purchased brooches for each that will go on their bouquet purses. Here are two examples:













In addition, I found an awesome deal on jewelry at allcostumejewelry.com, which was pointed out by a soon-to-be-bride on weddingbook. So I got all of them a matching necklace/earring set made with Swarovski crystals and faux pearls. Here's the necklace:

So, like I said, I've been super busy. Next time I'll post about the super sweet (no pun intended) wedding/groom's cake ideas I have. :)
