Wedding Planning Update

I got once last chance to do some bridesmaidy duties in the form of dress shopping!

Originally, we were looking at ordering dresses online, but with a hesitant feeling, our bride set off to check out some dresses in-store. We received a text to meet her at Belladonna Bridesmaids and Formal to try on some lacy frocks she had found.

So as I head overseas for a couple of months (bad bridesmaid form I know!), our bride and groom will need to get cracking with the following to-do list:
