Mrs. Fishback

I just found this cute site, and think it'd be so cute to get undies that say "Mrs. Fishback" on the bum, for the honeymoon.

Trashy? Come on, it's the honeymoon!

Bud-get

Not the most fun thing to deal with.  It looks like the reception venue is going to take up the majority of the cash for this event, which means it's time get creative with the following: invitations, flowers, DJ, favors (if we even have any--I don't think this is necessary unless you're actually giving something meaningful), flower girl dresses, and all the other cutesy stuff.

Time to be a DIY bride.

(I'm actually excited for this.)

My Maids

I know this is awful.  I still haven't finalized my bridesmaids.  (Does there need to be an equal number of bridesmaids/groomsmen?)  I know it's anything goes, but I'd like for it to be even.   

Anyway, as far as the fashion, I love these dresses.  And, they're $88 each.  I'm about to go try them on at J. Crew.

I may even have my bridesmaids add a cute little sweater or go crazy with some awesome accessories.  

The Dress Saga

On Monday, I went to Alfred Angelo to try on this dress.  It was modest (ish), and most importantly within my budget (under $800).  It worked, but I didn't love it.  They totally tried to pressure me into ordering the dress right then and there, but I was not having it.  I told them if I wanted it, I would call them.  

So the next day, I dove deep into all my options.  I actually searched craigslist, and guess what, I found a dressmaker that I think is going to work out really well!  The best thing is I'll be able to be here during the whole process.  I'll let you know how it goes, but I'm feeling good.  I am naturally picky when it comes to my style, so I think finding a dressmaker is the only way for me.  Every dress I've tried on, I've wanted to change something about it, and this way I can!  Below are some rough sketches of what I'm envisioning.  

Hope this works out!

Never did I think I wanted a video...

...until I watched this amazing video shot by Joel Serrato Films.

Loving...

this bouquet.

I'm excited because I just found out anemones are in bloom November to April. And they're awesome. Anyone know of some other great winter-bloom flowers?

Peach and Navy

I'm thinking this board from Snippet & Ink could be the inspiration for my wedding colors.  

LOVE Peach.  And love Snippet & Ink.
