Sarah... Thought you had too... maybe I thought that since i've been reading your PJ! Haha.

As far as the date... i've narrowed it down! I love the idea of a end of Sept. wedding. My parents were married in September and so were my grand parents... so i thought it would be neat to all have September anniversaries. I will let you know for sure what we decide.

Oh no please do! Thank you... I've got so many things I want to start. Trying to finish so I don't have a million going on at once.

I know! I told someone else at my work && they were like thats cheap? I said I remember spending as much money on a prom dress!

Great Ideas! The book is a great idea!

Where did you order the hanger from?

I ordered it off etsy.... the sellers name in twistedwords. There is a wait! So buy early so you having enough time to recieve it.

A few more updates…. This past week was my spring break! I had a few days off to make some things happen. I called to check on dates! I’m still waiting to hear back… I’m excited. Hopefully all goes well. I messaged Randy Chapman… he seems great.

I found my bridesmaid dresses! Right now it’s just my younger sister (18) and my BFF… who just recently moved to Virginia. I miss her terribly, we’ve been planning by email && phone.

It’s great… I just went out shopping && happen to see this dress && I fell in love with it. It is a silver color. The dress looks wrinkled in the pictures. It just needs to be steamed.

I can’t decide between black or silver heels with their dresses…I want them to wear a flower in their hair too. (=

The other day Jordan and I stopped in at Hobby Lobby. Neither of us had ever been before and WOW. We only have a Michaels near us and they don’t compare. Geeze they have sooooo much stuff. I was overwhelmed.


I bought a few things to do some DIY’s WAHOOO….

I blinged out my shoes.

BEFORE….

I bought Allena’s Jewel It glue… I didn’t like it, the glue left a wet looking spot. So I decided to use hot glue. I know those jewels aren’t going anywhere. I used over a 1,000 jewels.

After….

I used a lot of different sizes and a few different shapes. I love them. It took me about three days to complete them but I really dedicated my time on them. I am so happy with how they turned out.


This past weekend I was in a bridal hair & make-up show…. I’m so glad they choose me to do a classic look because the poor girl beside me looked like her hair got caught in a weed wacker….

It was fun but very last minute for me. Jordan’s mom called me to ask if I could on Thursday.

A few pictures….

It was fun...

Lastly... I entered our story to win our ultimate DREAM wedding. (= Thought it couldn't hurt. So if you girls want to vote for us I would love you forever!

I love the shoes!! They look great! And I really like that dress too!!

I like your hair like that! It's similiar to what I'm planning to do with mine at our wedding

 

[ValerieDFTWBride]

Just read through your PJ. Everything looks great so far! I really like your shoes and the different size crystals that you put on them, mine are similar...just smaller crystals.

I also really love the idea of the cake stand!!

 

[librarygeek]

I like the bridesmaid dresses! And your shoes look AWESOME! You did a really great job on them, I don't know if I would have had the patience

 

[disneybex]

Wow! They certainly are blinged up - love it!

 

[elle1024]

Love those shoes!! The pearls & different sized crystals were such a nice touch I hvemt seen any like that! I really like the bm dresses, you and your sister look so much alike you guys are really cute. & how awesome that you were able to play dress up at the show. Your hair looked good. Will you consider that style for your wedding?

I need to get the ball rolling on my cake stand... I got a little side tracked with my shoes! maybe it was all the small shiny jewels?

I loved everyone else's shoes but I wanted to incorporate something different...I saw those pearls && thought they would look great!

My mom, sister and myself all look alike! People think we are all sisters... hope i age like her!

I love playing dress up! I'm like a big kid. Maybe? But I think I want my hair to have more volume && no flowers.

 

[sw33t_angel]

Just catching up!

YES... Hobby Lobby > Michaels.. I also wish I lived near a Hobby Lobby!!

Yeah, reading these posts really makes me want to go to a Hobby Lobby! But I just looked it up and the closest one is about an hour and a half away from where I live

Hi Girls… & Guys!

SO I’m been MIA lately… will you forgive me? I think the date of my last post is wrong. I don’t feel like it has been a month. It’s getting close to the end of the year and getting ready for conferences has taken up a lot of my time and the kids are draining my energy. If you’re a teacher then you know the kids get so antsy that you cannot do ANYTHING!

So I’ve been toying around with some kissing balls… I wasn’t really sure what I wanted so I tried two different looks && this is what I came up with…..

A Blue Tulle Ball…

A Gerber Daisy Ball…
I forgot to take pictures of this... Will do it later. I bet yall are in picture overload anyways!!


I’m happy with how they both turned out but the tulle ball takes way more time. I had DF working an assembly line… He would cut the wire & squares and I would do the rest. (=

I also changed my mind about my BM dresses…. Uhhh I do that OFTEN. I got really worried about the silk fabric and traveling with it because it wrinkles. SO this is my solution a new dress…. This fabric is a lot more durable. Now I will not have to worry about steaming their dress too.

I like the fabric laying down better but you can wear it either way.

I also bought a lot of new stuff….

Like this memory book….

&& this guest book (I think I will use the Adventure book for at home reception) And pen….

Serving Set. I love shiny things (=

Toasting flutes to match.

Flower Girl basket

Finally ring bearer pillow.

They are all matchy matchy but hopefully not too much though.


I finally got my custom hanger in!!!! I was so excited. I love the details.

Last, I am now waiting on my garter that I ordered. I love it because it’s my old, new, borrowed & blue! Thought it was too cute to miss.

 

[KristiLyn]

Love all of the finds! All of the sparkles and feathers are awesome!
The BM dresses look great!
I am IN LOVE with that hanger. If you don't mind, who was the seller? It's really one of the best I've seen!
And the garter, so cute! I have one sorta similar that I got from etsy as well It's my something blue too!
