FOR HIM
He ordered and received his TUX.
The FH ordered his tux and it looks great on him... plus it was on sale. Go J-Crew.
I am thinking that he will wear a white shirt with white bow tie or long tie. So excited! |

Bridesmaids
And the dresses have been chosen...
As of now, I have finalized the BM dresses.
I have searched high and low and finally one of my friends sent me a picture of the one. Of course, I had to check it out first because I have come to find out that what you see online is NOT what you will see in person. So, here it is. The phoebe by jenny yoo. It will be in yellow (of course) and I love it. Plus, I think it will look really nice with my dress. Side note: Some of the BM have complained about the price but the dress is beautiful. I don't want to break their banks but I just cannot look anymore. My compromise is if someone finds a dress that will work with everything, I am willing to consider it... however, they have until the end on the month to get their measurements in and after that it is deposit time. I also considered doing the waist band and bow is slate/pewter for the maid of honors but the contrast was to drastic. Oh well, everyone will be in the same dress, I just have to get creative on how to distinguish the MOHs from the BMs. Suggestions are welcomed. |

Wedding Dress
It cost me my first born but I finally found the dress!
Okay so I fell in love with this Amsale dress months ago and knew I couldnt afford it. So I pushed it out of my mind and tried to find something else that was more reasonable. I searched high and low. I looked in Florida, Arizona, California, and New York and couldnt find the one. (and for those of you who have had trouble finding a dress you know how unnecessarily stressful it is). So I decided that I would just go try the dress on
no harm, its not like I can afford it. I just wanted to see it on.
So I went to the salon and tried on the dress with a couple of friends. And of course the moment I tried it on, I knew it was the one. It was perfect (of course we will have to add some padding in the bust area.. lol)! So after battling with the price, I called my fiancé who told me to get it ( at this point he was over the wedding dress saga and just want it to be over). I finally stepped out of the dress and had to take a moment to take it all in As I looked at now perfectly hung gown, I burst into tears. Partially because I found the dress but MORESO because I would have to sacrifice my first born in order to afford it. LOL. So I have a dress. What do you ladies think? PS. After my wedding I have decided to sell or rent the dress. There is no reason to have it sit in the closet especially when I can recoup some of the investment. ? PSS. I had them alter the bow a little bit beacuse it was a little big and the BACK of the dress make the world a better place. |

Wedding Invitation
Save the Dates
I sent out the save the dates, finally.
To go along with our "hollywood" theme, we sent out blockbuster type envelopes with mini movie posters inside of it as our save the date. Everything was then mailed in a clear envelope. It looks really authentic, so we added our photos on the outside to make sure people wouldnt throw it away. Once I get home tonight I will post what the movie posters looked like and the final product. I am so excited that I got one more thing out of the way! UPDATE: ![]() This is the poster that went inside. Sorry it took so long to post. :) |

Engagement Photos
Our photo session went really well. We wanted unique photos for all the DIY projects we have coming up. So here is a preview of what Justine Miller did for us. If you are in the Phoenix area, you may want to look her up. She is very reasonable and really talented.
