Warning! Warning! :)
♥DIY Swarvoski Cake Topper
This project takes FooooooooooREVER! I started working on this a month ago and of course I got burnt out... let me tell you it is tedious!! This is NO WHERE near the final product but I thought I would give everyone a peak at what I am working on. To top it all off I am not even sure if I want one of these on the top of my cake anymore! I guess I can always put it on the card box/cage if I don't use it on the cake. OR better yet... I throw a chain on it and wear it around my neck! BLING BLING... I will be cooler then Flavor Flav! |

Wedding Dress
?Ladies I need your help!!
SO here are the dresses that I LOVE LOVE LOVE and a few I am on the fence about. I am not going to say right now which I LOVE b/c hey I have blogged a LOT here and I think some of you might get my personal style a little bit (we'll see lol). :) I cannot have all the dresses I like brought to me so please tell me the ones you like the best. MY BODY!! Keep in mind that in dresses I am usually a size 12 (not a small girl!!), not top or bottom heavy (although I plan on adding some extra up top on the big day if you know what I mean haha) and I like a mix of GLAMOUR AND FUN... above all FABULOUSITY ;) ♥Thank-you for participating in yet another vote!♥ also PS.

Wedding Decoration
♥Tables!
I have been waiting to see the table linens in action and I finally got a picture. They look fabulous!
I also got the skinny on the lighting and we are going for soft amber (the area the reception is in is WHITE WHITE WHITE) so the lights will hopefully bring on that romance! |

Wedding Cake
?Done, Decided, Tweaked a Little... checked off the list ;)
Hotstuff does not like fruit flavor or filling of any kind (I am not the biggest fan either). I see so many people on these wedding shows chosing lemon cake (eeeew! lol). The cake will be buttercream (the baker only does this) and the filling will be chocolate buttercream. Let them eat cake ;) ...and me, I LOVE cake! |

♥Are You Waiting Until the BIG Day or Are You Living in Sin and Loving it?
I only know one person (around my age) that did not live with her fiance before they got married. For most people I believe it is not only to see how things are before you get married but also for convenience. So many people have children coming into the marriage & some have been married more then once before. The times where living 'in sin" was frowned upon seem to fading fast!
I have a very crazy personal situation and I have received absolution for living with Kevin before marriage but in all honesty no matter what the situation was I would have probably ended up living with Kevin before the BIG day. I think that now it is unreasonable for some people to live apart until the BIG day. I have seen on here and I know some people that have been dating or engaged to someone for 5 years or more before they walk down the aisle! I love every day I get to spend with Kevin and the past year we have been working on our house together and making it our own has been fabulous. There is something that would be wonderful about spending your first night in same house (your house) together for the first time after you are husband and wife. So ladies, what are you doing? Do you live with your spouse to be? Does your family object? Is this your first marriage or have you been down this road before? |

♥What Do You Expect From Your Bridesmaids?
Until I started planning my own wedding (even though I have been in other peoples) I never knew what was usually expected from a bridesmaid. I was watching a "Bridezilla" scream and cry her eyes out because her BM's were not giving her enough ATTENTION and another on that wanted them to set-up her reception. I was embarassed for them!
from theknot.com Bridesmaids: 10 Ways to Lend a Hand There's more to being a bridesmaid than parading down the aisle in pink taffeta. Celebrate your friend and her groom by helping her out and adding some extra fun to this often stressful, but very special time. Here are some of our best ideas, to inspire you to go above and beyond your attendant duties. Take responsibility for the gift baskets or bags for out-of-town guests' hotel rooms. Include a welcome letter, maps, relevant phone numbers, snacks, postcards, city souvenirs, and suggestions for fun activities. Ask the bride when she expects the invitations to be ready and plan an informal gathering. Ask each bridesmaid to bring something to eat, turn on the stereo, and divide the duties of writing addresses, stuffing envelopes, and putting on stamps. Not only will you have fun, but you'll also be helping the bride finish a very tedious job! Offer to supply favors or place cards for the rehearsal dinner. If it's a more casual affair, offer to make simple centerpieces. Ward off prewedding jitters by creating a distraction -- get tickets to a play or dance performance, one that you know she'd be dying to see if she weren't so busy planning the wedding. Ask what she's drinking at the reception and keep her cup full. Brides seldom make it through the crowd to the bar (just be sure her cup doesn't run over). Collect disposable reception-table cameras at the end of the night and get them developed. Offer to be the end-of-the-party, final once-over girl -- collect the cake topper and toasting flutes, make sure Grandma is escorted to her car, etc. Take her gown to the cleaners after the wedding. It'll be pressed and preserved for when she returns. Pack a traveler's "in case you forget" bag: Include a disposable camera, sunscreen, sunglasses, moisturizer, saline, and other toiletries a harried bride might forget to pack. Stock the couple's kitchen with food for their return. The worst trip is the one to the grocery store the night you return from paradise. Help them avoid reality for just one more day. I have to ask... What do YOU expect from your ladies and from your MOH?? |
