Buyer's Remorse?

Eek.

Are you guys sure my dress is okay? With the beading you know where?

Slightly panicking.

My gown details






I'm watching Bridezilla...good gracious, I hope I'm not at all like this...

Centerpieces to fill my time, and yours...












Because I can't sleep... and I'm trying to fill my time... (what in the world am I going to do when I don't have a wedding to plan???)

Dress Success

I bought it! I got the David's Bridal dress. $299, marked down to $249, from $699! What a steal! ;)

I always wonder how much of the what the salesgirls say is the truth and how much is for the sale... I got thumbs up from all the salesgirls, however I should take it. :)

And Mum's going to make my veil! I'm uber excited about that! And not just because those other veils are $200, but because now it'll be extra special!

I love the internet!

Because they have all kinds of discount and buy in bulk stores.

The store I found (www.save-on-crafts.com) has my orchids, vases, floralytes (those things you could submerge in water with the flowers), manzanita trees to my heart's content. All at prices cheaper than Michaels and JoAnns.

I want to buy some sprigs and try my hand at more centerpiece arrangements.

Wedding Theme

I'm going for an elegant theme. Simple, but classy. Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. (Are they simple but classy?)


I hope my dress fits this theme.


Monchromatic colors- purple and white, maybe silver.


Orchids have simple shapes and simple colors.


The (planned) invitations have clean, simple lines, shapes, & lettering.


I think the centerpieces will be simple too: stem of flowers in water, in various glass vases, candles - votives and/or floating. Maybe single, white flowers or petals on the table/purple overlays.


Yes, elegant does not need to just be simple, but should also look nice/classy.


How is it that I can be an English teacher without being articulate?
