I'm Baaaaaaaaack
It was so perfect.
Every thing went perfect. If something went wrong I didn't know about it. Me and my Hubbs enjoyed ourselves and danced the night away. Leaving for our honeymoon tomorrow so I'll post some pics of the wedding before I leave.

I hate goodbyes
Tomorrow's the big day!
I hate goodbyes :( Thank you to all the girls who have given me inspiration and advice. I hope I have given you the same. This is it, it's finally here! I can't believe it. We've been waiting for this for so long and now it's all coming together. I had a few last minute cancellations (like 5!!!) but I'm not worrying about it because tomorrow is just about me and him. I hope all of you have amazing weddings and that all your frustration is minor compared to the life you get to share with your best friend. I tend to worry a lot about minor details so I went for a relaxing massage last night and I also did acupuncture. It was so nice to get away from my cell phone and planner and family for an hour. Do something nice for yourself to relax. It will be so good for you.
I wish all of you the best in years to come. xoxo |

New Rehearsal Dress
b/c the first one was too "dressy"
This is what I get for trying to save money. I was going to wear the red dress (below) to my rehearsal, but when I showed my mom she was like "Ummmm, no. Let's go get a new one!" I'm like whaaaaa?? This is what I get for trying to save myself $$. I was trying to be frugal, for once (usually I get a new outfit for every occasion, including christmas) and it gets slammed in my face. Anyway, went to the store last night and my mom bought me this dress. Not quite as fancy as the red one, but I like it the same. You can't see it in the picture but underneath it it has a little bit of mesh so it poofs out a little but. It's cute and I agree, it's a lot less fancier than the red one. We'll just have to save that one for the honeymoon.

7 things to do before putting on your wedding dress
Found this article very informative
1. Go to the toilet even if you dont need to go, as it may be awhile until you get another opportunity (might even be the reception).
2. Put your deodorant on and allow for drying time. 3. Eat! Your wedding day is not the time for low blood pressure or passing out due to hunger. 4. Be sure you are wearing the lingerie you wanted to wear (and not your comfortable yet unattractive attire). 5. Many brides have found wearing their shoes while putting their dress on, is easier than putting their shoes on later (especially if wearing a larger traditional dress). 6. Brush your teeth. You may not be keen to do this after your make up is finished but if you intend to brush, it is a good idea to do so before your dress is on. 7. Though not imperative for the bridesmaids to be dressed before the bride, however I feel it is better for photography. |

 oot bags place cards place cards and ribbon board my puppy and the oot bags table numbers       |
Three more days!
Lots of projects are done. All I have to do is put on the dress. Hopefully.
My future In-laws are here to help! They drove in from MI on saturday morning and so far we've gotten all loose ends tied. My table numbers are going to fit in the floral centerpieces, the topiary and lower style. It's going to look so good. The OOT bags are all finished and place cards and the place card ribbon board is all finished!! Whoo Hoo!!! I've got 3 more days left and I'm not nervous yet. I think by the rehearsal I'll start feeling butterflies.

Boudoir Session Pic
The cleanest one
I didn't know whether to put any up or not. I'd be curious if any of you ladies did this so... I'll cure a little curiosity. I put up the cleanest one.

Wedding Hair Style
Hair style has yet, changed again. For the last time? I think not.
I'm not making any promises this is going to be my last hairstyle change. I love it but then I'll sleep on it for a few days, talk w/ my hairstylist (I'm in there at least 3x per week talking with her) and then I'm always like, eh, don't know if that's going to work for me. I'm a girl, that's what were supposed to do. DUUUH!!
I have a back up plan though when I go into the salon the day of the wedding. If it turns out like S*%T again, refer to the last pic. Plan B. |
