THE shoe!

This is the shoe that I want and it's sold out everywhere!!!! How is that possible?!?!?! If anyone finds this shoe in a store please purchase a size 8 1/2 (or 8 or 9, whatever is available) for me! Unfortunately it's made by numb nut Paris Hilton but I don't care, I'm in love with this shoe.

the coolest ring ever

I came across this jewelry maker on a wedding blog: http://www.etsy.com/shop/fabuluster
And they just happen to make the most amazing and unique wedding bands I've ever seen. Basically, you get a little kit in the mail and you make an impression of your finger. You send the impression back to the jewelry maker and they make your wedding band with the finger impression lining the inside of the ring. So when you wear your wedding band you'll always have your love's finger wrapped around yours. How awesome is that? Matt was having some difficulty figuring out what kind of ring he wanted so I thought this would be perfect, but I wasn't sure if he'd be into it. I showed him the pictures and he just thought it was the coolest thing ever. So this is the ring he chose (in white gold):

i <3 STAK

Our photographers, Steven and Tak recently tied the knot. So I sent them a card congratulating them on their marriage. These two are so amazingly sweet that they photographed my card and posted it on their blog thanking me. I knew when I first met them that they were special, but seeing this really touched me. If they can make my Target bought greeting card look this beautiful imagine how they'll make me look! Love it!!!

tuxedos...check!

We picked out tuxedos today and man are these guys gonna look hot! David's Bridal has a great program on their website where you can "dress" your bridal party and get an idea of how things will look. Best part is that they use Men's Wearhouse for the tuxedos, which is where we're renting from. So I made a virtual wedding party with the exact tuxedos the guys will be wearing so you can see for yourself. Woohoo!

time flies

Wow, it's been a really long time since I posted. But, not much has been going on in the wedding planning realm of my life. Just received all my table runners in the mail today, love them! And the groom and I have an appointment on Sunday to look at tuxedos. Besides that, I've been obsessing over shoes.
I've been looking through picture after picture, trying to get an idea of what kind of shoe I want. I keep finding myself drawn to photos of brightly colored shoes with white wedding dresses. That pop of color is such an unexpected little surprise, I just love it!

Problem #1: my wedding is black and white, there is NO color.

Problem #2: my dress isn't white, it's champagne. So, do I go the boring traditional route and buy a pair of shoes that match my dress color or do I go with black (cuz I can't think of one bright color that champagne matches with)?

How hot are the following two shots?

Love, love, love this very expensive shoe!

Gorgeous ivory shoes, but I'm not really feeling them.
