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.
