If...

My original dress plans don't work out, I could always do this.



It would take me 400 hours and I would have to complete 42 steps before hand, like make a body form?! but it could be mildly entertaining and fun :)

What do you think

Let them eat Cake

Here is the plan for cake. Lots of little desserts no need for a big fancy to do. I don't even really like cake. More of a cookie girl myself.

seriously?!

I am going to start a new weekly installment of "I didn't know this could cost this much, must be because it's wedding related".

First CAKE TOPPERS

What the hell, I mean this seriously is something that you would only use once, and then never look at again. I mean I don't think I remember any cake topper I have ever seen. Ever.

Now you can definitely find cheap ones, in fact you can find many cheap ones. But then there are the ones that cost, in my mind, way too much. I will judge you if you pay more than $20 for a cake topper, hell I might judge you if you spend more than $10 for one. But then again...

why does this one have to be one of the stupid expensive ones

Gloves!

Stopped by the consignment shop on my way back from studying today and picked up these beauties

thats what i wanted to say

This quote is from another bride but I couldn't have described myself any better:

"I wouldn’t say I’m the ‘typical’ bride in that I’ve dreamed of planning a wedding for my whole life. Although I’m a big (obsessive) planner in general, and love design and entertaining..."

yea so that's me too, just an FYI

nevermind

You win wedding industry cause I do need one of these. Really anything on Blush Lingerie's website will do. I mean I normally hate the idea of lingerie but these are just too cute. I am such a sucker for vintage things and lace, I can't help myself when they combine to create adorable underoos.



side note I think I am going to start referring to underwear as underoos exclusively from now on.

linens

My new obsession, playing around with linen colors on our linen provider's website. For fun click here. The wall color of the reception site is cream.

Family Photos

I have no intention of forcing myself or anyone else to take pictures with large groups of family members at any point during the wedding. In fact I plan on specifically refusing any such request. However it would be nice to have pictures of all (well at least most) of our guests, without forcing us all to stand next to each other and smile instead of sipping on a cocktail.

I thought a photo booth would be fun, but then as usual I checked the price and well not so fun.

How about this idea of setting up a photo staging area, there could be props and fun backgrounds!

Under Where?

So apparently what you wear under your wedding dress is just as important as the dress. I was just going to go with my everyday undergarments, preferably ones that I don't need to constantly adjust. But this is a wedding sin of some sorts, or so the lingerie industry would like me to believe. Now if I want to be sexy under my dress I will just go sans undergarments but I figured I would humor this idea of spending way too much for uncomfortable underwear.

The only piece of lingerie I might consider is a garter. Now there will be no garter toss (or bouquet toss for that matter) not because I have anything against them, hell I have caught my fair share of bouquets, but I always find them a little awkward and uncomfortable. BUT if I do wear a garter I might wear something like this:

OR something like this preferably diamond and lace encrusted
