Awesome Bridal Shower Fun!!

My Maid of Honor and my mom did a wonderful job, an awesome job. I love them so much and I love my bridesmaids and want to thank everyone who shared this special day with me. My bridal shower was so fun, we played games, ate amazing cake, opened wonderful gifts! My photographer who is a family friend came and took amazing photos...she is so wonderful and I want to thank her so much! My older sister made a beautiful photo album of photos she took from our facebook...i love it so much! And my soon to be stepdaughter drew a beautiful photo of us as bride and groom walking into the sunset. She has such amazing talent! I love it and it made me cry. It was such a great day and I can't wait for our wedding!

Gifting the Girls!

Another search for something I really wanted for our wedding...this time it was a clutch handbag for each of our bridesmaids. I wanted something nice, but not too expensive...bride on a budget here! At first I was thinking that a Vera Bradley clutch would be nice and they have sales online all the time. However, I went to the store to check them out in person and it really wasn't the perfect clutch I was looking for. Don't get me wrong, I love Vera Bradley, but it just wasn't the right clutch for our wedding. So I searched the mall, Sears, Macys, Boscovs, everywhere! They were either too expensive, too prom like, or had too much beading going on! So I gave up and went home. The next day I was out at one of my favorite stores, Kohls, when I stumbled upon a cute silver clutch. Price wasn't too bad...$20.40 and the color matched really well with their silver heels. I liked them but didn't love them. I was tired of looking so I went ahead and bought three of them. I was looking to buy three different styles, but I hope the girls don't mind having the same purse. What do you think? Did you buy your girls a clutch, what did you buy for them? I previously bought them cute pearl earrings and necklaces at Claire's as well. Now I just want a little something personal to give them.

After the Wedding Party Dress!!!

What do you wear when you go out after your wedding? You know...to the "after party" where everyone gets together to continue the great party!! Unless you have a cute, short wedding dress you are probably not going to wear your wedding dress to this said after party...esp if its at a hotel club or bar. I would be angry if someone spilled something on me any way, but I would be very, very angry and upset if someone spilled something on my wedding gown! I've seen this very cute white dress on a very cute wedding blog, shout out to Lover's Waltz for my need for this dress! I want this dress and hope to maybe get it or something just as cute. It can be found at Nordstrom's for $148.00...not a bad price. And if you are a bride looking for a cute short wedding dress I think this would be really cute for a summer wedding on the beach! Here she is: What do you think? Are you looking for an after party dress, what does it look like?





PS> Can you believe it's March already?!!! There is a lot going on this month like my birthday next week, a baby shower, a school play, picking up my wedding band...YAY!!! I just checked my count down...50 days till our wedding!! Happy March everyone!
