so sad...

My gorgeous candelabras that I ordered from England apparently have gotten lost in the mail or confiscated in JFK customs :( Now I have to restart the candelabra search, ugh!

On a happier note, our toasting flutes arrived the other day. Hand painted and courtesy of Etsy at http://astrokeofjeanneius.etsy.com

the men

Since I have my dress now I've been thinking of ideas for the tuxes. Even though my all black tux idea was pooped on, I don't care. I was thinking of an all black tux with a white or damask tie for my groom and the groomsmen would have the all black ensembles. Look how hot it'll be:

the dress, yes!

I had my very first appointment today at Kleinfeld. My mom, aunt, cousin, and two of my bridesmaids came in from Connecticut for the occasion so I was determined to make a purchase. After trying on about ten or so dresses we all agreed that it came down to the first and second dresses that I tried on.

The first dress was this gorgeous Vineyard Collection dress:



Everyone loved it but we all agreed that the second dress was much more flattering for my figure. I loved them both equally for different reasons but after putting the second dress back on with the veil and hair piece I was sold. So I purchased an amazing Adele Wechsler creation and went $700 over budget, oops! I would post the picture here for everyone to see but my fiancee occasionally peeks at this blog, so you'll have to wait until the wedding!

And I would just like to say thank you to my lovely family and girlfriends who trekked on down to NYC to help me pick out my dress. And thank you Krystyna for helping me in and out of all the dresses! I'm so sorry you had to see my pasty white, cellulite ridden nakedness!

omg!

I started this blog so my lovely bridesmaids and mom could follow along with me in my wedding planning journey. My posts have been specifically for them. But as of today I now have a follower who is not related to me or in my bridal party. I'm in absolute amazement and I feel so much more special than I did 3 minutes ago. I never thought anyone else besides my family and friends would read this blog. Thank you chocolate rose for following, I'm not even sure how you found my blog to begin with!

save the date

Here are the save the dates that we designed in photoshop. I had them printed at Kinkos the other day and they came out beautiful! I'm only sending these to a limited amount of people (like those that live far away) so you ladies won't get one in the mail unless you tell me that you'd like one.

corgi favors!

Just received a couple different versions of my corgi cookie favors today. They are so cute! This one is my fav:


I'm not crazy about the way the baker packaged it, in a clear cellophane bag with a ribbon, which sounds nice but it just doesn't look right to me. What do you think?



I definitely want the packaging to be clear, I was thinking maybe just the clear bag that folds over at the end and no ribbon. Or some kind of small clear box? Dilemma.
