music
Only three songs so far, but it's a start
I think I like the idea of "I wanna hold your hand" playing while us girls are walking down the aisle.

Doug and I both really like this cover-it's slow enough to walk to and has meaning. The second song is "Feet Don't Touch the Ground" covered by Stoney LaRue- my FAVORITE singer. I always knew I wanted this to be the song we have our first dance to. The next song is Wade Bowen's "Who I Am." It's a great wedding song by another one of my favorite singers so I have to put it somewhere in our reception. If you don't know these songs, you should listen to them (and and anything else by these artists. They're local to my area but getting more wide spread n popular by the day.

Cheap flower girl dresses!
God bless ebay!
Someone suggested earlier to me that I try looking at Target for cheap Easter dresses to use, but I couldn't find any that were just perfect-although the price was.
My genius brain then decided to look on ebay and I found it! A flower girl dress for $15! You can't beat that with a stick. It looks like the lady also sells the accessories and the dresses come in multiple colors including plain white.
Look her up. She has a good rating: butterflyxc.

too many choices, not enough of the colors I want
Is anyone else doing an olive green? I can't seem to find more than 2 dresses in that color and I don't want all of my bridesmaids in blue. Maybe I should sway a little bit and let more greens in. I dunno.

For now, these are some of the dresses that I like in the colors that I like. (David's Bridal doesn't allow you to save theirs-thank goodness-or there would be more)

getting closer
I found this one in a magazine today and really liked it. It's getting closer to what I want. I think I'll set up an appointment to try it on tomorrow.

Wedding Invitation
new day, new colors
Ok, so when I was searching around for some oranges and yellows that would look good together to paint my wish/card box, I couldn't decide. The oranges were too bright and the yellows I liked were too dull. I decided I didn't want my boxes looking like traffic cones or ducks...n it hit me. If my box looks like that, so will the rest of my wedding...and bridesmaids-like big waddling ducks. So, I decided to pick up some stickers with a group of colors I thought worked well together and paint my box es according to them.

SO! At least for the next 24 hours, I have decided to change my colors back to the green (olivine) I originally wanted to use and pool blue. I will use brown (and possibly more!) as accents. I picked out these invitations as an idea to how I want everything to look....for now. :)

Happiness
I'm so glad I stumbled across this site
So far, from all the creative minds on this site, I've found many additional things I'd like to add to my reception. Thankfully, the ideas I like aren't too expensive, but will be different from any wedding I've attended.

I'm making myself a money/ wish box. I liked the idea of the money box and the wishing tree and just decided to go ahead and combine them together. It's not exactly as pretty as the ones I've seen mass produced, but it's made with lurv.

Candy bar! Who doesn't like candy? I especially like that someone pointed out you could get the dishes from goodwill to serve it up in! Now I just need to find some little scoopies.

Sparklers! What a beautiful idea for a night time ceremony. Hopefully, wherever our reception is, they will allow us to do this.

Thank all of you creative minds out there. I fully intend on ripping off your good ideas in the future. :)

Wedding Dress
Help!
I've been trying on and looking for dresses for a year and a half now. I thought I had found one at David's Bridal that was colorful, a-line, and figre flattering. However, after branching out and realizing that there are more bridal shops out there, I think I have changed my mind.

I can't find what I really want. The closest I am coming is this first dress. I want it to have cap sleeves, am empire waist, a low scoop style neckline, and lace that seperates at the empire waist line. (all of which this dress has) The only thing I want differently from this dress is for it to flare out more on the sides and in the front and not hug my not size 2 body. I want it to be more Grecian style. I want it to look very romantic and feminine and have a style like something you'd see in a costume movie from the 1860's. I' ve searched and searched. If you have any idea of how to find what I'm looking for, lemme know.

I picked out the second dress because it's simple in the front and the back has that old style I'm looking for. I really like the back but I'm not sure that it's the one either.,

While I'm deciding, feel free to check out my line up of the different styles I'm looking at and tell me what you think.

Flower girl dress
for the most beautiful princess in the land
I'm having a hard time deciding on a flower girl dress because most are tailored for younger children. (mine's 8) They're also mainly all pure white and while that's ok, I'd like a little color on her dress. Besides, Makenzie, much like her mommy, wouldn't look right in something that was all white.

So far, all the dresses I seem to like cost $150 or more. That's just craziness! Maybe I'll learn to sew before I get married.

Bridesmaids
And the winners are.....
I haven't asked anyone since the time I thought I was going to be getting married last year, but I did ask at one time all three of these girls.

Unless there is an unexpected change, Casey, Dawn, and Liza will be in my wedding party.

Casey-because we spend every Saturday together already, so why should the Saturday I get married be any different.

Dawn- because she's my sister and she made me. Oh and cause she's just like me.

Liza- she's one of my oldest friends that I still talk to and on the occasions that we do find the time to get together, we have a lot of fun.

After a couple years of talking about a wedding, we decided it was finally time to get something put together. We chose November because we wanted a fall wedding.
