Our Bridal Shower
Sunday, June 8, at Spavone's Ristorante in Bloomingdale
Sorry this is late, it's been a crazy last few weeks in my life. Our bridal shower was wonderful and we had a great time. Many friends and family members attended the party, and we received some wonderful gifts. Everyone was so generous and I hope they all had a good time. Pete and I sure did!
Here are some out takes from the party. |

My new blogs
"reverie" and "The Bitchy Deli"
I just started up my new blogs, "reverie" and "The Bitchy Deli". I like blogging (okay, it's addictive) but I'm not going to blog about things that aren't somehow wedding related on here, so the other blogs are a great forum for me. Check them out if you have a chance.
And thanks to everyone who has stopped by this blog and left comments or checked out my posts. I enjoy this community immensely! Yikes--is it really only 30 days to go? More posts to come.... |

Wedding Gift Registry
My registries
I finally finished my registries this week (see China entry below). And since I live with my fiance, we already have a lot of the usual stuff people register for. So, I figured I'd pick things I'd like to upgrade, or odd/specialty tools/appliances/etc. that we can use but don't have yet, or fun stuff for decorating (to replace the old beat-up plates and other serving pieces that we currently have).
I chose four places, which is a lot, but I think that's a good thing. Every time I'm invited to a shower there isn't enough stuff to choose from. I always end up getting the couple some random small utensils and something boring like a paper shredder, just to make up the amount of money I want to spend on them. I'd much rather have a wide variety of places and gifts to choose from, and get them something cool/pretty/stylish/etc. that they'll love and that I'll love giving them. I'm registered at Anthropologie (under "Wish List"); Bed, Bath, And Beyond; Crate and Barrel; and Target. The Anthro registry is pretty much all fun, pretty stuff, although we can certainly use what I chose. But I did find lots of cool stuff at the other three stores, including my china, serving pieces, and some nice appliances. I've posted some photos of various things I've registered for. |

China
Lenox "Chirp" Fine China
This is the china I registered for (available at Bed, Bath and Beyond and other stores). I have seen it in bridal magazines over the last year and I'm always drawn to it. I even clipped the ads out and put it in my wedding binder.
So when I was finishing my wedding registries this week, it was a no brainer what china I wanted to register for. Not that I need china, but I did get a vintage-looking china cabinet last summer (from Crate and Barrel outlet). And the colors on the "Chirp" china are the colors I want to do in my kitchen. So pretty! |

Custom Shoes (Fun!)
For the reception...?
I want to wear something unique for my reception shoes. I do have some Sam and Libby flats that I just purchased (see post under Wedding Shoes) but I wanted to see what else is out there. I stumbled upon a "Build Your Own Converse" shoe at the Converse web site. I used my wedding colors (green, pink, chocolate, cream) and made my own shoes. I haven't ordered them yet, only because I just went crazy at DSW today, but I think I will. I'm a bit of a shoe fashionista and I love the whole rainbow of styles and colors, so for me this is right up my alley. Plus it's a cool keepsake.
Bonus: You can add a personalized message to the heel stripe or side of your shoe! Granted, it's only a small message, but I'm going to put "8 2 2008" for our wedding date (for some reason the shoe editor won't take punctuation in the message). Check it out! |

Perfume
What I'll wear....
I'm going to wear Bulgari Rose Essentielle. I absolutely love this perfume. Not like the old-lady-style rose perfume, but a fresh, lovely scent that smells wonderful all day. It has just the right amount of elegance to it, yet is natural and very pretty.

Ask a Question
Vintage-style Save the Date magnets?
Does anyone know where I can find vintage-style Save the Date magnets, or even post cards? I have daisies and birds as themes in my wedding, and most magnets I've seen are fairly modern, or don't feature vintage-looking birds or daisies. I like very simple, graphic birds (like the black ink ones I've shown) or more realistic ones. I even like the ones that look like wallpaper.
