I loved every moment of it! From not sleeping, to the anxiety, to the nervousness, it was all worth it! Its way too much for me to type now, because it is getting late and we have school tomorrow. I will just say, it was the best time of my life! It makes me want to cry thinking about it all over again! Thanks again for all of the help! Mrs. Shutes!! |

Hello Ladies!!
Tomorrow is my big day and things are hectic around me! lol I am so excited and calm at the same time. I want to thank you all for your help and patience with me. It means so much!!! This whole experience has been amazing and it would not have been the same without my WBC girls! I talk about you all the time!! I have been meaning to post all types of things for you ladies, but work, wedding, church, etc. got the best of me. lol But, I plan to post all of my back work for you since my mom doesn't want me to ruin the "surprise" element of the wedding. I am taking tons of pictures, so dont worry! I will post all of them along with pictures from tomorrow. P.S. Thank you all so much!!! Love ya! Octavia Pride (my last time signing on here as that) |

IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG!
My post was deleted! :(
I had everything typed up and nice and neat. But after all of that, I dont even have the strength to type it again.
My mom has asked me not to post pictures of the stuff for the wedding. DONT WORRY!! I am still taking pictures of it everything. I am making sure to note every detail so I can tell you after the wedding. If I dont post too much more before the wedding, you know why. After the wedding will be pictures and more pictures of everything else. I want so badly to post everyday but I simply dont have the time. But I miss you all!! More to come soon!! Love you all!! |

 Photo box My lovely creations   |
DIY Wedding
ACCIDENTLY THROWN AWAY!!
I had finished making all of my boutennieres and stuff and decided to put them in this photo box that I bought a while back. My mom rearranged the dining room where the box was and accidently threw it away!
The next morning I was looking everywhere for it and luckly followed my instinct in looking in the trash. I was sooooo lucky! |

 Leave us a Tip or Well Wish!   |
DIY Wedding
Well Wishes/Tip Jar
So I completely fell in love with the idea of a Well Wishes/ Tip Jar. It is sooo clever and sweet. I cant wait to see what people write and how many pens I end up with by the end of the wedding.
I bought it at Wal-Mart for $10 and plan to use it for decoration at my house after the wedding. I plan to put teal ribbon around it with a round emblem of a peacock. Hope you like! |

TOSS BOUQUET
I found this nifty thing at Joanns the other day and love it!
My sister is purchasing my bouquet and I originally bought this one for mine, but being a frugalista, I decided to use this one for the toss bouquet. The second picture is just how it could look. The third picture is the jewels I want hanging from my bouquet. I cant wait to see it!!! |

Wedding Shoes
PURCHASED SHOES!
I had the hardest time finding cute, flat, metallic silver shoes. I was running in circles from Burlingtons to Shoe Carnival to Payless - NOTHING!!
Then I went to a wig store called Elite Paging and Cellular Beauty Store and SCORED!! I bought these babies for $10! I was sooooo happy because I didnt want to wear heels for one and for two my baby is only about and inch and a half taller than me! I love them! |

DIY Wedding
AISLE RUNNER ~ PART ONE OF TWO
So this is a very tedious project and hard if you have a little sister running around. I dripped a big drop of paint on it. :( But I still think it turned out great. It will be behind me and Cedric while we are standing at the altar.
My mom decided to straighten up my mess in our dining room cause it was a mess. But in the process of that, I can't find anything anymore including my black paint that I wanted to use for this project. So I went ahead and mixed the grey with teal and came out to be a metallic silver almost. I hope you like it! Part two will come soon! |
