Beautiful Blooms

My attention has turned back to flowers as of late. Of particular interest is my bouquet. I hadn't found anything that I liked. I mean I've seen flowers that I like individually but not bouquets... until now. My apologies for not having a photo but if you click here you'll visit the fab Nisie's Enchanted Florist site to see my dreamy bouquet.

See that bouquet on the top right? That's what I want. But not in one color. Which brings me to my next photo of inspiration:

I love how there's "sections" of complimentary color.(the top part) It's really WOWing my socks off. I think having my bouquet designed like that would be delightfully pretty and different. I think done with mini roses, barely opened, tightly bunched, in different colors of the wedding, it would be divine. Then my bridesmaids could each have one of the colors of corresponding blooms for their bouquets. It's going to be smashing against their black dresses and make for great photos.

Update On My Blues

I got the shoes from Zappos. Love their super fast shipping! And while the shoes are fabulous with a capital "F", they are not the same shoe. Now I thought I was going crazy because they look so similar and my theory was that it's just a different part of the Pucci pattern that's why they look different but essentially the same shoe. NOPE. I called the Pucci showroom in NY and inquired. I was told that the first pair were from this past 2008 Spring season and the pair that I have are from 2007 Spring season. She said that the shoes are no longer available but I may be able to score a pair from a place like Zappos at the end of the year, early next year. Apparently all the overstock will be made available to discount outlets after November. So there's hope. Yea!!!

Now you may be wondering what is it about those shoes, other than the fact that I love them, that I have to have them so badly? Fabulous details to come!! *wink*

I need a 'tini to quell my angst.

Invitation To Style

It never ceases to amaze me all the wonderful ideas I've swooned over from visiting fellow blogger sites. It has made wedding planning a joy. I love being able to "visit" tons of vendors without taking off my silk shortie pjs and slippers.

Next up on the "To Do" list is, as you might have guessed, invitations. At the very beginning of planning I was totally non-fab when it came to the invites. I said that I didn't want to spend a ton on something that would be thrown away. I mean I've seen prices up to 25,000. For paper!!! I said nope, I'll get something cute from Walmart and "merchandise it up" ala Carrie. However, as the plans and decor is slowly developing, Walmart just won't do. Much to Treasure's chagrin, our budget is quickly approaching the evil twin of it's initial amount. Yikes!

So with fabulousity in mind, I came across the silk boxes. We all know how much I adore them. They are so special. But what about what will go inside of them?? Well I just found Saima Says Design by way of Weddingbee.

Can I tell you these are THE most spectacular invites I've EVER seen!! She takes it not only to another level but outta the stratosphere. Feast your eyes on these beauts:




can't remember where I found these..if yours, let me know so I can credit or delete =(

These photos really don't do these works of art any justice. The intricate detail is just beyond! Saima is a chic chick.

Remember These?

I'm putting out an all points bulletin!! Blue Alert!! I NEED to find these shoes. If anyone knows where I can get these, please send me a note. I've exhausted Google..she's not my friend anymore. Eluxury had them but they are sold out. Zappos, has a shoe that's similar and in my haste, I purchased them, only to find after careful inspection, they are not the same shoe. Boo!

Maybe my eyes deceive? You be the judge.

These are the ones I NEED:


These are the ones I bought:


I know I'm reaching.. they are not the same. Beautiful shoe but not the one I need. The first pair looks SOOO much better in the darker color and bigger, more fluid pattern.

I guess when I get them, I'll try them on while wearing sunglasses..that way they'll look darker. Then promptly take them off and return them. Bleh! Looking on the bright side, at least I'll know what size I'll need in that shoe when I find it.

How Do I Love Thee

Still Motion Cinematography!! Just got my contract. Almost done booking my vendors. Yea!!! Take a peek at their world famous "Same Day Edits" - short films that they put together in such an artistic way, in such a short period of time.. The Wedding Day. I mean the footage that they JUST filmed!! How amazed I am at their talent. I heart them! I've been in communique with Patrick and he's a doll. He's been very patient with all my millions of questions, although I've been sold since "Hello".



Everytime I watch these videos, I get so choaked up. I think I do that because I imagine myself as the bride in the photos..getting ready for the most important day in her life. The seriousness of the moment. How I'm about to embark on a new milestone in my life. At that moment, I don't think I will be fretting about the flowers, the weather, (well maybe the weather), the linens, the latecomers.. any of that. I just think that while I'm in the makeup chair, I will find a quite place in my mind and reflect on all the wonderfulness that's about to ensue. Marrying my friend, soulmate and permanent cuddle buddy.

Hair Affair

I've been pondering how I'd like to wear my hair for the wedding. I know I wanted something loose yet controlled, if that makes sense. I have to keep in mind that this style has to work famously with my birdcage veil. I don't want there to be too much going to so that it doesn't distract from my whole look..rather compliment it fabulously. Also I want to take my hair down after the first dance. That's when I'll be changing into my reception dress, a short little cocktail number to show off my shoes. =)

I found this and think it's spot on! (You may find that I'll be using the "spot on" phrase alot. I have a new diva in my bff posse and she says it all the time in her cute English accent.)





I just love me some Carrie Underwood. She's such a cutie pie. She always looks smashing and well edited.

This hairstyle may be the one I'll go for during my hair trial. That's gonna be so weird.. me, the bridal makeup and hair savant, sitting for a trial. It's so funny everyone always asks, if I'm going to do my own hair and makeup. The answer is a big, fat no! Why.. because I want to be pampered and not stressed about not getting my eyelashes on straight because I'm a bundle of nervous energy. Nope, I just wanna sit back and enjoy while sipping my demi sec.
