Wedding Wednesday

So now that my dress is getting made it is now time for me to start thinking about my accessories (i.e shoes, hair and jewelry). I have been looking at Davids Bridal online to get some ideas. I have picked out my shoes for sure but still deciding on the hair accesories and jewelry.

Here are the shoes I'm going to get:

For the hair I am looking at headbands, pins and tiaras. Joey doesn't like the birdcage veils and I really don't want a traditional veil. Here are hair accessories that I'm looking at:

For my jewlry I will be wearing pearls for sure I am just not sure what design yet. Here are a couple of choices:

Which do you like?

Tisk Task Tuesday

Countdown: 179 days

This weekend I ordered our wedding invitations!!!!!!! I'm so excited about them! Here is what they say: Because you have shared in our lives by your friendship and love, we (our names) together with our families invite you to share in a celebration of love as we exchange marriage vows.......

We are still in the process of figuring out what we are going to do for the rehearsal dinner. The next week or so I will be going to buy my shoes to wear for the wedding and deciding what hair accessories I'm going to wear. I also need to start going to look at flower girl dresses.

BTW I was told by my Matron of Honor that the bridal shower invites came in!!! I am reserving the room for the bridal shower on Monday and then the invites will go out by the 18th.

If the Shoe Fits

So Tuesday I told you all that I picked out the shoes for my bridesmaids to wear. I found two that I really liked and let the girls pick which one they liked best. Everyone picked this one. I found this shoe at Payless.

Tisk Task Tuesday

Countdown: 186 days

This past weekend the bridesmaids and I got measured for our dresses. Its kind of a scary thing because from that point on we can't gain ANY weight!!!!!!!!! We can only stay the same or loose it. That is a stressful thing in itself. We will have our first fitting sometime in January or February. I have also picked out the shoes that the bridesmaids will be wearing and I have to say they are pretty cute. Check back tomorrow to see what they look like.

The bridal shower invitations have been ordered and I have already made the address lables for them. My foster mom and I have set a date to go register for some gifts at Macys on November 8.

The next couple of weeks I will be thinking about the rehearsal dinner, the flower girl dresses and ordering the wedding invitations.

Wedding Invitations

Drum Roll please............

We have chosen the following invitation for our wedding invitations!!!!!




So now I can tell you that this one was my absoulte favorite and the 2nd one from yesterdays post was my second favorite. Last night I made Joey look at all of them and I didnt tell him which ones I liked the best. It was so funny because he too picked the ones I liked the most. The decision was made because he said the 2nd one from yesterdays post was too plain on the inside.

Then this morning after reading which one everyone liked the most, and most of you picked the 2nd one from yesterdays post, I started second guessing myself. But I have to believe that there is a reason why both Joey & I picked the same one. I ordered a sample yesterday so hopefully when it comes in its everything we wanted! The invitation is from Invitations by Morgan.

Wedding Wednesday

So Joey's favorite baseball team, the Phillies, are playing tomorrow night in a playoff game so we will be deciding which invitation to use tonight after his midterm.

Below are the choices that I've narrowed it down to but I'm not going to tell you which one is my favorite.

I would really like for you to give me y'alls opinion.

Tisk Task Tuesday

Countdown: 193 days!

As you know last week we finalized our wedding party's tuxs! They look fabulous and Im really excited about them. This Saturday the bridesmaids are coming over to get measured for their dresses along with myself for my wedding dress. The lady who is making our dresses is named Ruth and shes coming over to take measurements and pick up all the fabric to get started. I am excited but also a little nervous because I haven't seen any of her work before. I hope she does a great job.

Joeys last midterm is tomorrow and then he can focus all his time with me and the wedding. We have a date on Thursday to look and finalize our invitaions and the wording. The next thing on my to-do list is to go with my foster mom to register at Macy's. My matron of honor is supposed to be ordering the bridal shower invites today and the gift registration cards will go in those invitations.

Check back tomorrow to see which invitations Joey and I will be looking at on Thursday and give me your opinion!

Wedding Wednesday

So last night Joey and I went to our appointment at Men's Warehouse and finalized all 12 guys tuxs. I know that seems like a lot. We have the groom, best man and six groomsmen, the ring bearer and three ushers. Luckily I already knew pretty much wanted I wanted so it made it a lot easier and faster!

Without further adue here is what we chose:

All the guys will be wearing this Joseph & Feiss One-Button Notch Lapel tux.


Joey and the ring bearer will be wearing the Rio white vest and tie.


The best man and the groomsmen will be wearing the Rio midnight vest and tie.


Last but not least the ushers will be wearing the Primetime black vest and tie.


To top it off they will be wearing the White/Silver Stud & Cufflink Set.



I will be posting the wedding party's details on our website.

Tisk Task Tuesday

Countdown: 200 days!

So last week Joey and I registered for gifts at Bed Bath and Beyond and we had a great time picking things out that we wanted for the new house. Yesterday I received our wedding guest book from Beau-Coup and I was kinda suprised to see how much smaller it was than I thought. But it is very white and classic!

I still have not received the rest of the addresses I need so I really need to get on top of that. Tonight Joey and I have an appointment at Men's Warehouse to look at tuxs. I have already browsed online and know pretty much what I want the guys to wear. I am looking forward to Joey trying them on so I can see what they look like on him.

The next couple of weeks Joey and I will be finalizing our inviation wording and picking out the invitation that we will send out!

Check back here tomorrow to find out which tux we picked!

Thoughtful Thursday

Wedding Nightmares! I had my very first wedding nightmare last night. It was the day of my wedding and for some reason my mother and MOH had picked all the decorations and even my wedding dress! It was horrendous! While I was talking to someone in another room some lady came in wearing what was supposed to be my wedding dress (which was hideous) and went and showed everyone. On top of that the only decorations for the reception was some loud color things everwhere. I can't even tell you what they were.

So being the perfectionist that I am, I said that I was canceling the wedding because I was not wearing that dress and everything had been ruined. So I tried to just push it back for only a week and my location wouldn't let me. It was horrible!

Thankfully it was just a dream and my mother nor my MOH is picking out anything for the wedding. LOL

Have any of the other brides-to-be out there had wedding nightmares?
