Today is the big day over at 150 David's Bridal stores where brides on a budget will be lined up waiting to get their hands on the new Vera Wang White Collection!! Have you seen them yet, do you have a favorite? They are filled with tulle, lace, organza, and loads of layers. They are def Vera Wang style, some are very runway and offbeat but others are just simple and classic. There is a dress for every bride. Here are my to  favorites.... I love the first one esp. with the one shoulder and fit and flare style! What fun would the pink gown be, turning heads and making a statement!

Are you going to be wearing a designer gown or do you wish these gowns were out when you were planning?

I hope every bride loves her dress and finds the one, no matter what price or what store you bought it from or what name is on the label. It's your dress, it's your big day and you're marrying the man you love and who loves you. No one can put money or a label on love.

Check out Wedding.Allwomenstalk for a sneek at the rest of the collection!

Happy Valentine's Day Weekend! <3

Non-DIY Bride

We have seen so many DIY wedding blogs and posts and we just fall in love with their creative skills and want to replicate the same projects for our own wedding. I remember seeing all of the beautiful card boxes and really wanting to make my own but wasn't sure I could pull it off. We did make a really nice card box, but it in no way looks like the three tiered, repainted, or recovered, stunning boxes I had seen! But it was our card box that we actually made together and that's what matter. But I do have to say I am mostly a NON-DIY bride. DIY projects can save money and it helps when you have family and friends to help you out. But I really didn't have too many people I wanted to ask and my MOH lived about 2 hours from me and was taking care of her 2 year old daughter while her husband was in Iraq. I really thought about DIY centerpieces but was so happy we ended up going with a florist! The only other project I put together was our invitations that I printed on our computer. The DIY kit from Michaels was really great, but it was the biggest stressful moment I had during our planning process and if we had to do it again I would buy our invitations from someone who would make them in full!

What were some of your NON-DIY bridal moments and some of your DIY projects you failed on?

Check out Wedding.Allwomenstalk. for some Etsy items that might be easier to buy for the NON-DIY bride!

(Our Card Box!)

We got lucky with this box because it was already beautiful and had the same flowers as our wedding!

So What's New!

Not much going on today, just feels like a slow day at the office (home!) lol. Maybe that's because the Pittsburgh Steelers put on a sad performance at the Super Bowl yesterday. Not a happy night at this household!

But the night before, Saturday, was a really great night catching up with friends and hanging out with work friends at my husband's work party...same place I used to work! They call it their "holiday" party because the actual holiday season is very busy and too busy to hold a party so now each year they hold it close to Valentine's Day. The tables were decorated with Valentine's Day vases with little hearts and each couple got a company mug filled with candy! So we pretty much considered this our Valentine's Day gift to each other, my husband bought me a new dress for the party and we stayed the night in a beautiful room at the hotel where the party was hosted. It felt really nice to have the night to ourselves and get out on the town without the kids (we love you!). We even went to the bar for a little after party with our friends!

So what are you doing for Valentine's Day? Would you ever consider a Valentine's Day Wedding? I think it would be a great time to look for DIY decorations and projects during this holiday, especially if your wedding colors are red or pink. I love these favors from TheFavourShoppe for a Sweet Vday Wedding!
