I Do Bridal

You can not be able to tell by following my blog, but wedding planning is moving forward one step at a time. The cake has been ordered and the photographer is reserved. I am so excited about all the vender's involved in our wedding. So far everyone is fabulous.







I have finally left a rave review for the fantastic bridal shop I Do Bridal and Consignment in Chicago where I purchased my dress. Being the first big "wedding" event I did, it could not have been better. Kelly was fantastic, because of her I expect that type of service from everyone forward.

So, the dress went home with mom and I have not laid eyes on it until yesterday at my first dress fitting. Kathi at Kathi's Stitchery was fantastic from the start. She told me my dress was just stunning. When I asked her if she says that to all the girls she was suspiciously silent. Humm... The dress was just swimming on me compared to when I bought it 5 months ago. Go Weight Watchers! She assured me she could work with it and I would look great. Despite the fact she insisted I purchase Spanxs that go all they way to my knee. They don't make them all the way to the knee, I checked. I hope mid-thigh will work.

Also, what I have been referring to as "the girls or tata's" all these years is more accurately referred to as "breast tissue". As in "reach in and grab your breast tissue and pull toward your chin". Who new?

Kathi has a TV set to the golf channel for the gentlemen.

Mens Wedding Band

While browsing Etsy for LuLuSplendor I thought I would check out men's wedding bands. Destry swears he just wants a simple gold band. When I found a fantastic handmade band called Screwdriver I new it was perfect for him. When I showed it to him he said he liked it. In man language doesn't that mean he loves it?

Wedding planning full force!

I spent the day sewing the fabric napkins for the place settings. Okay, the truth is it took over an hour to just iron the seams and the first and only one I sewed looks homemade. Grrrrrr

I am buying fabric napkins. Maybe I will give them away as the wedding favors. Going Green!!!

I dream of wearing multi strand silver pearl necklace. In my heart I know it will be a bit much.

Hello Rosette, And pearls the best of both worlds. Maybe this wold work?
This would absolutely look great with my dress. Am I loving it? No

What would a fashion designer say?

Feathers you have competion!

I am unreasonable drawn to rosettes.

Marie this one is for you!

Okay I am totally in love with "Butter". Butter shoes that is. Handcrafted in Italy and soft as butter. Love the Scrabble with the interesting toe bobble. Chose the Claudia with soft sheen of marriage all over them.
