I Hate Bridesmaids Dresses!!

I don't want to be "that" bride, you know, the one that picks the ugliest dress they can possibly find, then feeds lies to their bridesmaids about how you can wear it again.

But until now I didn't realize how easy it was to fine that ugly dress. I am beginning to believe there is no such thing as a pretty bridesmaid dress. I love all my bridesmaid and I know each of them would buy and wear any dress I choose, with a smile on their face, but that's what makes me want to fine a gorgeous dress for them even more.If we had unlimited funds I would put each bridesmaid in a dress from J.Crew

But who wants to spend $350 on a bridesmaid dress? Not me, so I couldn't ask anyone else to. Maybe I will just let everyone pick their own dress in the same color, that way everyone gets what they want and something they may actually wear again. But most importantly at a price that is good for them.

Thumbprint Guest Book

I have been seeing this guest book alternative everywhere and I just love the idea! I love that we will be able to hang it in our home to see everyday to remind us of all the people who shared and supported us on our wedding day.

I will be shopping around for a better price before I decide for sure. My mom may also be able to make this for us. 

Cake

I LOVE this cake! The caterer we are using supplies the cake so hopefully they will be able to do this. If not, I just might need to get it from somewhere else. I plan on making the bows myself.

I also have fairy cake toppers that my mom bought for us the first year we were dating. I guess she knew we were meant to be. I think having black bows with the fairies would look amazing.

The Hair

 I have been thinking about what I'm going to do with my hair. I have no idea *big surprise*! I saw this head band today and I LOVE it. I don't want to wear a veil so this may be a good alternative.

The bride said she had it custom made from an etsy seller

Photographer

Our biggest decision was our photographer. We both feel that its the only thing we will have left after the wedding (besides our marriage of course). So we wanted to make sure had a good photographer.

I spent some time researching online, and found many amazingly talented photographers, but in the end we chose Bella Pictures. Some reason we chose Bella over other photographers are

• The are a huge company with many photographers working for them, so if something happened that the photographer can't make it like their sick of it their camera were to break, they have someone ready to fill in.
• If we have any issue with the photographer or any problems with the pictures after the wedding there is a huge company that it accountable for it and who are dedicated to making you happy.
• They have a team who's job is only to create your photo album compared to a photographer doing.

Hopefully our pictures come out amazing!

Another Blog

Yes this is another wedding blog...as if the internet needed another. Well I needed another! I am getting married to the love of my life October 22, 2011! We have been together since the fall after high school (2005), and we will be together 6 years once we tie the knot. I know, I know, were rushing into things! I am so excited to start our life together, but a little overwhelmed by all the planning. Hopefully this blog will help me sort through all my crazy ideas, and maybe help others with inspiration.
