So today there was a bridal convention that was in town that I had been meaning to go to. I had received 2 free tickets to go through The Knot sometime ago and had printed off the tickets to go. Well unfortunately I woke up feeling unwell so I ended up bailing but considering the amount of shows the Dallas area has it wasn’t a big loss.
Anyway in regards to all the wedding plans that are going on (who are following me or interested) here is the latest:
- You know how people say they know when they find the one, when they refer to their wedding dress? Well I guess it finally hit for me when I went to a bridal boutique in Lewisville. I admit their organization level is somewhat to be desired but the sales lady helping me was AMAZING despite it being busy. If your looking for an unique dress this is definitely it. It was also the same place my matron of honor bought her wedding dress 7 years ago so it definitely brought back memories. Anyway…I can’t show a photo of the dress unfortunately right now because they have a rule against taking photos but it’s gorgeous. It’s got beading on the front both on the top and bottom of the dress in addition to the train. It’s also got color in the dress too so that’s a plus too. No timeframe yet when I plan on putting down a deposit even though they said to allow 5 to 6 months for delivery.
- I have a cake vendor finally. An old friend of the family who used to babysit me and my sister agreed along with her daughter to help out. I’m supposed to be searching around for inspirational photos and since my colors are navy and pink primrose I’m not sure how I’m going to work this in. Possibly white buttercream with navy and pink flowers? I like the idea of a japanese tree with like tree vines with flowers attached or flowing away but its just a vision.
- So my matron of honor and I had the chance of doing some bridesmaid shopping this past week to get some ideas of layouts and dress samples. Since my bridesmaids are so different in terms of wanting what they want I decided to make the dresses non-strapless and floor length. We were looking at styles, and this is what me and my MOH came up with:
(of course this will be different according to the theme but the 2 MOH will wear pink with navy accents and the rest will wear navy with pink accents.)
- And finally, I’ve decided on a cake topper for the wedding. Since I love the Willow Tree collection and they represent Christianity as well, I think this would be very elegant:
