Juggling the 2 has been really had because im so easily distracted. I had the most stressful week last week with a paper and 3 exams back to back.

Crystal Cake Stand
Once again, I'm in love with all things sparkly! So when i saw this cake stand i knew i had to have it! I actually considered paying $900 for it! I wanted it that bad! I showed it to my fiance & he kept saying "i bet u can make that". After some time & a little bit of thought i gave it a try & i LOVE the outcome! TOTAL PRICE....about $60!!

Wedding Favors
BLING!!
In keeping with my "glam" theme all of my guests will be leaving with a little bit of sparkle in the form of a diamond paperweight. They come in boxes which will be placed in Tiffany blue gift boxes and placed at each table setting.

Cake toppers
I LOVE the crystal monogram cake toppers. Once again, i refused to pay the hefty price tage for something i could do myself. I ordered the T topper from ebay in Chopin Script. The S and the W were purchased at Hobby Lobby. They each had about 3 or 4 larger crystals on them that i covered with the smaller ones.
I figured my future hubby's cake needed a topper as well! He loves the Chicago Bears and his cake will be Chicago Bear themed. For his topper i found the mini hat and helmet on ebay. The football is a little back and the bear is a little statue, both from Dollar Tree. I glued the hat on the bear and voile!! |

Tattoos
Matching tats!!
My fiance & i are both really into tattoos! I'm so lucky because my ex hated them! A little while after getting engaged we got matching tats, all his idea!! When he mentioned it i was so surprised & didn't take him seriously! But i drew em up & we inked em on! We're also gonna get our wedding date tatted on our ring fingers!

Wedding Dress
Dresses have been ordered!!
After trying on dress after dress and hours upon hours of internet searches, I'm done!! I knew the key to the ceremony dress was getting my father to come to the fitting. I tried on the 1st dress and his mine was made up! Of course, being the indecisive person I am, i tried on about seven more dresses, but in my heart i knew #1 was THE ONE. I put it back on, with the cathedral length veil, and that was it!! MY DRESS!! It was funny tome because i had seen this dress online & HATED it! But seeing it in person was another story!
Now the reception dress was EASY! As soon as i saw it, I was sold. I initially wanted it for my bridesmaids but i had to have it! I purchased it in blush with a white satin belt with crystals across the front! |
