I just think they are soooo pretty. But they are also extremely expensive. I couldn't even get an appointment to look at these dresses with my wedding date being so far out. I don't know, I still have a huge problem with spending a ton of money on a dress that you're only wearing for one day. Even if it was PERFECT I don't think I could rationalize it. Anyway, so then there was that eventful day at Goodwill when I saw the dress lying in the corner. I tried it on, and I was like, "Okay, if I don't take this thing now then I'm never going to see it again!" It really had the potential to be my absolute dream dress. So I grabbed it as quickly as I could! Everyone I've shown really likes the dress so far. I showed it to my friend (who was really mad that I didn't go dress shopping with her), and once she saw it she even agreed that it was perfect. My aunt looked at it and said, "Wow, someone before you must have paid a lot of money to have that." It's all hand-beaded and has such beautiful lace work. I really think I lucked out. Anyway, my one (and pretty much only) issue with the dress was that there were sleeves. I didn't want strapless, but sleeves were really not in my vision either. I tried it on again and took pictures, and there is just way too much fabric covering me when the sleeves are on. So the sleeves had to go. It was really hard finding someone to do the job. It was really difficult because I guess if you cut through any of the flowers they would come unraveled. But I found a really experienced seamstress that said that she could do it. She detatched the sleeves from the seam, and then hand stiched a lining for the arms. She called me to come try it on, and I felt really sad saying that I'd have to have my mom pick it up because I'm in school. If anything is wrong I'm going to have to make another trip out to her to have it fixed. Still I have faith in the whole process. So, as soon as I get a chance to see my finished product dress I will be sure to post it up here for everyone. I guess my advice to new brides is to check out shops like Goodwill or consignment shops in your area first. If you know what you want, you never know what you could find in one of these stores.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3475 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3475 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 10:02:00 PST http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3449 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3449 Sun, 27 Jan 2008 17:19:00 PST Spice Girls - Time Goes By This is one of my absolute favorite love songs. For all those wondering, yes I am a huge Spice Girls fan (going to their concert too, by the way). A lot of people probably won't know this since it was on their 3rd album. But I think it is fantastic. The Beatles - And I Love Her I think the biggest appeal of this song is just that it is a classic first dance song. I think that the Beatles ballads are so classic that I can't NOT look to them for a first dance song. NSYNC - That's When I'll Stop Loving You Can you tell I'm really into the "not as well known" songs. Everyone does "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You." That one actually never appealed to me, but I used to sing this all the time! K-Ci and JoJo - That's When I'll Stop Loving You I love this song, I know Matt really does too. I remember dancing to this together in his dorm room once. Really romantic :) I also really like the sentiments expressed in "Save Me From Myself" by Christina Aguilera. Just not sure if it fits for a first dance. But I could see myself dedicating this to Matt later on in the reception.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3436 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3436 Sun, 27 Jan 2008 14:43:00 PST One Blossom which has almost excatly the style of invitations that I was invisioning. No prices on the site though, so I requested a quote. The first website that I went to is also the one that I keep coming back to to look at more invitations. Ann's Bridal Bargains is so cheap, but the invitations look awesome! I found several from there that were daisy themed and would look great (no pink daisy though). I also think another option might be having a bride and groom on the front. I think it looks classy and romantic. I haven't looked at the rest of Ann's Bridal Bargains (they sell all sorts of stuff besides wedding invites), but if their deals on other things are as good as the invitations then I'm sure I'll be back. I guess the most important thing to me is to keep this looking like a formal event. I really want it to be something elegant, because my goal is to truly be the princess for the day. I just love the feel of a formal affair. Do you think the invites match the look and feel I'm trying to go for? (P.S. I would order these invitations in pink ink. If the invitation is white then the text would definitely be in some type of pink.)]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3322 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3322 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 13:50:00 PST http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3310 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3310 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 08:23:00 PST http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3267 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3267 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 18:10:00 PST http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3257 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3257 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 16:37:00 PST http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3124 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3124 Wed, 23 Jan 2008 04:58:00 PST http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3098 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3098 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 19:34:00 PST http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3097 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/asalwayschristine/milestones/3097 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 18:44:00 PST
