Decide on a color scheme FINALLY DONE!!!!! ALL BLUES from greenish blues to deep blues, just, all of them. and then sand colored-ish things, and an orangey-choral-"cool melon" color as an accent. You don't get a text sample of that because blogger won't do it justice.

Talk to photographer/videographer about special shots you need
Make sure music playlist is ready Alayna made a Spotify channel for us. It's a little bit sappy- we need some Jack Johnson in there and I think Spencer has a few delete requests, but it is a VERY good start, and it has the proper amount of Michael Buble, so it's a pretty good thing.
Double check all reservations (temple, place of reception, florist, hair stylist, caterer, photographer, cake, rental items, honeymoon)
Gather any borrowed items
Make freezer meals to feed out-of-town guests during wedding week huh. good thought. My thought, because people are flying in and, well food is expensive, was make a costco trip when people got here and that would set everyone up fairly well for the week.
