Engagement Photos

Janet told me I am to find someone to teach you to dance and force you to get engagement photos done. So lets do that, but of course your photos should involve Bella... And prob me! :)

Bridesmaids

When I think about what I would ultimately like to wear to my best friends wedding I think about something fabulous, but when I think about how I want her pictures to look and how gorgeous I want everything to look together, I think that maybe going with a more generic look would be best. I know that Jcrew doesn't have the best fitting clothes, but we can always get them taylored. At the end of the day it's most important for the pictures to look cohesive and god forsaken Jcrew will allow that to happen. (I wish we could make it work with Free People!) What if we picked out a fabric and color, or maybe just a color, and everyone can just order their own dress. Here are some of my favorites from Jcrew in Jalapeno and Spiced Wine, I also love the idea of wearing are own shoes in a metalic gold or silver and maybe just maybe each of us having a sash that matches the wedding dress OR of the opposite color, for example if we are wearing all purple, silk green ribbon sashes that we could buy yards of at Michaels for super cheap. Regardless, I'm loving this idea despite the slightly lame idea of buying dresses from Jcrew. What do you think?

Houston, we have a Dress!!!

So we did it folks, we found the most perfect dress! It's elegant and classic, yet has a romantic, whimsical feel and I LOVE it! I actually teared up just the slightest bit seeing her in it. Truly gorgeous!!! Exciting as this all is, I can't help but say, that I was the one that pulled it of the rack and recommended that she try it on!!

We weren't supposed to be taking pictures, so my pictures aren't the best, but you must take my word, it's gorgeous! And here is a little shout out to our fabulous, wedding dress shoppers...

Thanks to plenty of coffee and inappropriate humor, we did it! Yay TEAM! Also a special thank you to everyone for supporting my poor graduate student self, I had a blast! NOWWWWWW, Sophie and Rain, we NEED bridesmaid dresses!!

NYC Bridal Excursion

Tomorrow the sisters of the bride (me and the future sister in law Sophie) and the mother of the groom are headed off to NYC for some good old fashion bridal fun. Not sure where the weekend is taking us, but I am sure it will be somewhere inspiring that will help us get this puppy up and ready. So excited to be a part of it all!!!
