Tonight’s lesson was a short one because we hit some traffic on the way to the dance studio. It seems people don’t know how to drive in the rain. We got there a few minutes late and we couldn’t run very much past our allotted time because Deborah had another lesson following ours but still gave us an extra 10 minutes to try to make up for our tardiness. Anyway, Deborah continued to work with us on our first dance, starting from the grand entrance through the big dip at the end. Of course, I had forgotten what I was supposed to do at the entrance, but after a quick refresher from Deborah, Amy and I were back on the same page.
After getting that out of the way, Deborah started to teach us a few new things to add to the routine. The first was a way for Amy to [...]

I was on my way to rendezvous with Guitar Fred, my fiance, when I walked by a cute store that beckoned to me with a wall of succulents. Yes, a wall. My jaw dropped and I wandered in and to the right, I saw a wall of jewel-toned vintage glass and plenty of fine white milk glass (which is what we’re using in our 10/10/10 wedding). I then realized that this was the new retail shop for Gorgeous and Green Events by Pilar Zuniga that I had heard about from fellow brides!
I have admired Pilar’s work from afar and I was excited to get up close and personal. Brides — if you’re looking to bring inspiration you see on Style Me Pretty or 100 Layer Cake to life, you must stop here. If you decide to DIY, [...]

Everyone knows the Oscars took place the past Sunday – there were a lot of gowns I just loved and I noticed a lot of bridal inspiration on the red carpet as well (especially since I’m in wedding dress mode at the moment!).
Kristen Stewart wore a Monique Lhuillier Dress that I first saw on their bridal catwalk from Fall 2009 (I remember it because I tried it on during my dress search).
Although this dress didn’t look as good one me as it does on the model above, I’ll be honest and say I prefer it as a wedding dress.
Anika Noni Rose looked stunning in this dress -
Which reminded me of this dress from Ines Di Santo’s Spring 2010 bridal collection [...]

RINGS
We had our first big wedding disagreement! While out shopping for our wedding bands, my fiance tried on a gold band and decided he liked it better than the platinum band. I was under the impression that we should match, and since mine was made of platinum – his should be too.Anyways – it started a big argument between us. A wonderfully pleasant Bride VS. Groom moment.
So the question is – does it matter if the wedding rings are made of the same metal for the bride and groom or is it all personal preference?

Our wedding invitations came today. They are so exquisite and beautiful, more than I could have hoped for or dared to expect. They are smooth and heavy with just the right amount of shimmer, the gold ink looks melted into the paper, and the detail is just perfect for our beach wedding. Holding the invitations in my hands, another wave of “this is really happening” hit me. This is really happening. In two months and five days, all of our hard work, planning, saving, stressing, spending, and counting down will culminate. I can only pray for a day like yesterday – beautiful blue skies, plenty of sunshine, but maybe just a bit warmer. I believe in karma, and I am hoping my karmic ducks are in a row by the time “the big day” rolls around. My wedding is everything I ever imagined; [...]

My cousin inspired me to use my engagement photos to create a memorable and beautiful guestbook that I would always cherish and love looking back on. Not to mention, it entertained and brought smiles to all the guests that signed it. I uploaded digital copies of our engagement photos to mypublisher.com and created this personalized guestbook, I created large full page photos but also left plenty of whitespace for guests to sign and share their wishes with us. And as a special touch, we intertwined stanzas from the poem our sister-law read throughout the book. Here are a few pages from our guestbook… Hope this inspires you to do something similar!

So, I went to my final dress fitting last weekend. It’s still 7 months before the wedding, so it’s a little weird to be doing my final fitting, but I have some special circumstances. I’m wearing my mother’s dress. She got married in 1973, so it’s a little outdated, but it’s very vintage and really fits into my style. I had to have a few things altered, but I almost perfectly fit into the dress. The lady who altered my dress said she had never seen a mother’s dress fit so well on a daughter! I would show you the dress, but I’m afraid the fiance is going to find this blog and then all will be lost! I will say that I love it, and I’m so excited to wear it!
Also, I won a contest from Eco-Beautiful Weddings a while back. I won a signed copy of the [...]

I got two great things in the mail today and I had to share them with you… As I am super stoked about both
1.) RSVP cards of people attending our wedding (so we know for sure now that we won’t be the only ones there)
2.) The book I made of our engagement photos from adoramapix.com – I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I made it for a gift for Karlton for his birthday and I am very pleased with how it turned out. I had never ordered a photo book from them before and I chose the option to create my own theme and love the results. And with shipping it was only $37

I am finding it ridiulously difficult to find my style. There is so much out there to choose from that it becomes a daunting task just discribe to my friends over a cup of coffee what I am looking for in a dress.
When choosing a husband, the main worry is you don’t want to regret your decision, likewise, when choosing a dress the same applies. I have found the perfect soul mate, but will i ever find the perfect dress?

Waking up in the morning at 6 am is kind of horrible. However, when its your wedding day you look past the early time frame and focus on the mimosas!I got out of bed, took a shower, shaved my legs and ordered room service. I took in a couple deep breathes and opened the door to my best friend Kristin screaming at me that; GASP! “It’s your wedding day!” We poured some early morning mimosas and greeted my amazing hair dresser Sasha and her assistant.
Then the fun began…
Sasha set my curls and started in on my make-up. 
My mom made mimosas for everyone.Read the rest of this entry on Jennifer's Wedding Blog or check out jennifer’s bio with wedding details and vendor reviews.
So again I am writing. Counting down is getting more and more exciting, especially when it gets under 2 months. I used to run track in high school and college and you know that feeling you get right before the race. That nervous excitement that at times makes you feel like you might throw up? Well I get that, a lot these days. Of course less of the nauseated feeling and more of the excitement… I feel like I keep falling more and more in love with my Fiancé too. He just goes over and above anything I could have ever dreamt about. I have been a single mother for 3 years and have become very independent and then he came along and just fit into the picture perfectly, like he was never not there. I’m just very thankful.
Wedding Planning: Well this week I meet with florist #2 and am [...]

So, yesterday I met with Karen of Karen’s Floral Artistry, a recommendation from Stephanie, who is doing our cupcakes. I met with Karen and her assistant, Christina, and we immediately hit it off. I showed her some of my inspiration pictures and she let me talk through my ideas for each. She was definitely sipping the Kool-Aid and throwing in her own suggestions, which were often on the same page and something I really liked. I also think she will do a good job of keeping us within a pretty strict budget, being as cost-effective as possible without skimping on anything. I am also working with Crossroads Cottage on Etsy for the bridesmaids’ pinwheel bouquets :) I haven’t quite decided how to combine pinwheels with flowers, or if I want to combine for the bouqets, but I am excited to see how it turns out!
Today, I spent a lot [...]

Being committed to blogging is not one of my strong points. The planning has definitely begun. The date has been set. The location chosen. Wedding party asked. Bridesmaid dresses bought.

Location: Hunting Ridge Retreat in Winchester, VA (This whole time I thought it was ‘Huntington’ not ‘Hunting’. Good thing I looked it up.)

Colors: Blues, greys, browns, whites, etc,etc.
Bridesmaids: Jamie Wyckoff, Justina Roberts, Sage Wyckoff, Michelle Wyckoff, Megan Barnwell and Rosa Latva. (Maid of Honor not yet chosen. I’m making my 3 sisters (Jamie, Justina, Sage) apply for the job. It’s fun.)

So, after much debate, I decided to bite the bullet and go with Haute Bride jewelry. It’s just so pretty! I couldn’t resist. I bought the bracelet everyone loves so much the the earrings that are featured on their home page right now.
What did you all use for jewelry?
