Ruffles and Caplets

This is what put me to sleep last night.  The thought of adding ruffles to my dress and wearing a caplet during the service. 

I am girly girly girly ... lol... and even in my wedding notebook I have bits of dresses and one of the images is of ruffles.  I think I need to follow myself on this one.

Although I am not a 100% follow the rules type of chick I do respect my mother a great deal.  And yes she did ask "Aaannddd what will you be wearing in the church??"  I think she will be pleased with my new inspiration.

I can't get enough

After watching one to many My Fair Wedding any time I put on my dress I hear David saying it's the only time you'll get to wear a wedding dress.

As you know by now my dress isn't even white from the lil pic I showed you. And after seeing one to many brides look lovely in their wedding dress I feel like I want to get in on the fun.

Noooo I am not getting rid of my dress and starting over BUT defiantly thinking of the changes and additions I want to do.

It's all in the dress

I'd personally say the wedding dress is the most important part.  But that is just the Wardrobe Chick in me.

Ever since I was a little girl I have dreamed of my wedding dress so when the time came to shop I found myself on etsy and every wedding blog saving images for inspiration. 

Of course the rebel in my fought the white dress theory... it had nothing to do with having a little one.... just that it's so cliche...but my eye couldn't help but notice the purity and prettiness of what I was seeing:

Like a Virgin.... touched for the very first time

This dress instantly made me melt... Lace = Lushness

I could do this for a backyard wedding

Mother's dress

Lace and silk #1 fav

Tea Party

Funny thing is I don't even drink tea.  But after a nice week with a friend from the other side of the pond I have a little more respect for the tea game and loving the idea of a tea bridal shower.

The plan is to gather up pretty tea cups like so...

and yummy sweets

Found these on Etsy today and almost lost my mind: StayGoldMaryRose

And of course wardrobe is oh so major found this lace dress on Etsy it was a must have!: SweetiePie

The Girls

The size of your wedding party I feel starts with the girls. 

I knew I wasn't into a long line of chicks next to my side. The need to get 7 - 8 or even 10 dresses, all the gifts and personalities was way too much to think about.   My mother only had my God Mother (her sister)  next to her and she has 7 sisters. 

So I knew right away who I would call on to be My Girls.  Kelli and Shelly. We have been together since high school the three of us from 11th grade till present. And I couldn't imagine any other two ladies...well I could but to keep things simple I went with my sisters!

Awwww The Girls... aka Diva Mafia (bwahahaha)

Broaches have been on our minds for some time now

Kelli is my Maid of Honor much more conservative then Shelly and I. And I knew I wanted to put her in a darker color and also a more conservative dress.  This is not her dress but one that I saw that made me say "Hi Kelli"

For both girls I wanted vintage oh so bad.  When I came across this peach lushness on etsy I almost cried.  Peach on Shelly would be oh so pretty.  Before I could commit to this dress it was sold.  I think it took both her and I a moment to say farewell to this beauty but not to long after we found another one we loved.  This dress will forever be in my heart!

I wanted to be proper in my request so I sent these printed on cardstock with a love note attached. I found the design on Wedding Chicks,  I was able to download them using the colors they would be wearing and the pretty vintage style I adore.

Sooo this post wouldn't be complete if I left out anything dealing with my girls.  This includes the Bride Rules.  I have threatened to send them to Bridesmaid boot camp on a few occasions, and no not for weight loss but more for attitude adjustments...LOL!  Because of course they are sisters they  tend  to get out of line sometimes.  Here is a copy of a few of my Brides Rules:

( I'll think of more in the next 10 mon.):

1. Don't be silly when I am serious - Shelly often breaks this rule...

2. Do what I say

3. Stay calm unless I say otherwise

4 Keep me happy

5. Stay focused on the project at hand

6. Don't tell me what you think

7. Don't instigate

8. Remain a lady

9. Keep everyone else around me in order

Classic!
