Wedding bells will soon be ringing

Hey Ladies. 
With the wedding 18 days away (who's counting; I'm certainly not), it is going to be a whirlwind. 


To make sure that things go as smoothly as possible, I am posting the scheduled itinerary for the rehearsal day and wedding day so you can check online if you forget where you need to be when. Being on time is greatly appreciated.
I can't wait to celebrate with you all soon!

Much love, Shannon Barry

-Wedding day itinerary:

Sunday, May 22, 2011

9-10 a.m.: Meet at Gilroy Garden’s lodge for prep. Don't forget to bring accessories: Don't worry about a necklace as I would like to keep it simple. In terms of earrings or bracelets, green pearls (they don't need to be real of course) are preferred to keep the look soft and whimsical. Please keep in mind this is a garden wedding and anything too flashy would just throw off the style.
