The centerpieces
So up until I went to a bridal expo I was going to do something else with the centerpieces that was boring really......

Now me and my mom decided to add a little touch to all of it, but pay close attention because it's REAL complicated haha.....

Alright so all the table centerpieces are being made by my mom....
every other table will be different between 2 designs lol I know it sounds crazy haha......

On some of the tables starting with the 1st table, then the 3rd table, then the 5th tables and you know how it goes lol there will be 1 big centerpiece, and two small centerpieces.....The big centerpiece is like my favorite lol its a huge vase with water, marbles, ribbon, flowers, submersable lights.....The small centerpieces as well are small vases with just water beads (because we tried putting water beads inside water but they are not noticeable for some reason) lights, twigs, and hanging jewels.......

On some of the tables starting with the 2nd, then 4th table, then 6th table so on and so forth will have 2 small centerpieces, and two big centerpieces......(all the centerpieces are the same as the other centerpieces just in different order).

On all the tables there will be two mirrors, with candles on them, with little jewels, confetti, and favor boxes..........

On the main table (the bridal party) we are having a tree trunk hind of thing (dont worry it will be alot prettier than what it sounds) with hanging jewels on it and because I let my fiance choose one thing in the wedding (prepare yourself for this part) we are having slim jims and gummy worms on the main table yeah I know CRAZY ISNT IT????

On a separate table we are doing a wishing tree, this will also be where we will have our card box......

On another table (this is the last one i promise lol) will be where our cake is and my grandma is coming she lives in another state..well her idea was great on the side instead of sheet cakes to put on the side we are doing cupcake towers I love my grandma haha..... sorry about the one picture for some reason it wont let me delete it so sorry lol

I know that this was a lot to take in but I know in my mind and in my heart that it will end up being beautiful and I so can't wait to become Mrs. Rowe

Bridal Shower
So I have a bit of a problem
One of my mom's friends (well actually she is a family friend) is throwing my bridal shower, both my maids of honor are my little sisters that are still in high school, they are a part of the planning the bridal shower but i thought they might need some help.....

I've never been in a wedding let alone gone to a bridal shower.....
I'm having trouble because I've had several people come up to me and ask me what I wanted for my bridal shower, like I said I've never been to one so I don't know what I want really?????

Little confused when it comes to that. I just keep telling people to get me whatever it is they think I would like I mean I'm not a picky person I will like it no matter if I don't use it or not.....but they keep giving me weird looks like you don't know what you want for your bridal shower?

I know that this isn't going to be a normal bridal shower already its kinda like a big party haha....

Ladies I need your help on this I know it kind of sounds dumb to ask this but at this point im so confused lol can you plz help me??????

So I accidentally dyed my hair black a while back wanted it to be a dark brown, but it came out BLACK I kept it for a while Bc it didn't look that bad, but now its horrible I don't like it at all....

Someone I know said that the only way to get rid of it is to let it fade, well I really need to know something faster than that lol my hair doesn't fade easy at all and my wedding is 5 months away!!!!!!!!!!!!

IN LOVING MEMORY
Garder belt and remembrance candle
I'm not sure all of you ladies know that in July 2011 my dad passed away in a four wheeler accident he was 40 yrs old.....moments before he got on the four wheeler me and him were talking about my wedding and how excited he was that i was marrying alex my dad liked alex alot it meant so much to me for my dad to like him....me and my dad were talking about what color tie he was going to wear and he just kept laughing at me when i told him he was wearing a pink tie he would look at me and say "I'm not wearing a pink tie, i'm not a sissylala" when he turned 40 he had like his own language haha my dad needless to say did not like pink lol.....

I'm sure you ladies are wondering what this is about well my dad was probably the biggest CHICAGO BEARS FAN IVE EVER KNOWN he had a bears jersey and just regular bears shirts to wear everyday of the week for a full year lol he never missed a game:)

My mom was looking on nfl.com for a jersey for my lil sister and found a garder belt that is chicago bears heck yeah lol and we are going to add a lil something in memory of my dad.......

Also the 2nd picture is a remembrance candle that says "for those we have loved and lost along the way a candle to remember them burns here today" and at the bottom it will say "IN LOVING MEMORY" my dads name then my dads fireman number (he was a volunteer fireman for 19 yrs) and then the day of his bday and the day he passed

I really wanted to share this with you ladies so what do you all think?

Update!!!
MY VEIL IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!
After a week of anticipation on how the veil really looks i gotta tell u ladies i love it i dnt look so good in the pics today but that could be bc im not wearing my dress lol

as you all know the veil i picked is swarvoski crystal beading and normally when its swarvoski that means you are going to spend big bucks on it well my mom only paid $25.99 for this cathedral length veil and its beautiful if i might add i dont think u can really see the crystal beading but its there i promise!!!!!!

So ladies what do you all think? Like i said i dont think you can really see it but it is still so beautiful lol let me know what you ladies think???

Ask a Question
STRESS!!!!URGHHHHH
I'm asking what to about this wedding stress???????

It's 5 months before my wedding and I'm so stressed out about it that my hair is falling out.......

I have really bad anxiety problems so is actually isnt good for me to even be stressed need I mension that I'm 21 years old and I have this bad of stress!!!!!!!!!!

Alot of the stress is caused by a certain one of my bridesmaids who isnt cooperating as bloged a lil while ago, but the other half of the stess is caused by worrying if everything is going to look ok at my wedding, and if everything is going to go my way.....

It has already gotten so bad that i literally have had daily headaches, and i actually took a break for a couple days from planning well all that did was make me worry if any of it is going to get done bc i took a break..............

My reason for asking is what should i do with all this stress? and am i crazy for worrying so much?
