Wedding Pictures

 My day dream all came to life on 06/04/11.  It was a lovely COLD day full of good times and moments of pure love.

We went for first look photos as our wedding ceremony would end late and the sun would have been long gone...

The boys arrived on time and got a BUNCH of shots in as they waited for us girls

 My fav shot of my now husband :)

 My son <3

It was so nice to see each other and enjoy the moment

It's a Wedding Blog

Soooo how can I not post my thoughts and love for the Royal Wedding:

Awwww... this I adore

 The kiss!

 Hey Girl!!

 hahaha The American Girl in me thought Kate was driving

Changes

Change is good and I am all for it.  I have been planning my wedding to my husband to be for 16 months now.

Things were bound to change during so much time. Being open to change and not "stuck" helped not only this entire process flow but it also kept me at peace.  So what we changed our date in May... so what I bought and returned a FEW items...so what...lol

I stayed true to what was important: myself, my man and my family.

80 days to go

I am sooooo ready!

This time has passed so quickly.  K put the ring on Dec 2009.... 2009!!!! Now as we are almost half way into 2011 and  80 days away from the big day I am READY.

We have done a great deal of preparation not only for the wedding day but the marriage as well.  We know this is a lifetime commitment and something that we both honor.

Family and friends have stepped up and it's really been a true blessing!!

Cant wait to get the party REALLY started as Mrs. Carter

DIY..Working Hard

My DIY list has grown to be a bit long.  BUT I have started to not only tackle but master it with a great deal of joy.

When the above lace votive holder was complete I did the happy dance!!  I can't wait to see them all lit in their glory.

June 4th hurry up... but not TOO fast!

Top of the Cake

It has arrived and I couldn't help but doing my bridal happy dance!!

I searched high and low until some lovely bride blog posted the link Melabo .

Most of course thinks it's a bit odd but that is what makes me love it so.

Bows are a girls best friend

This Big Bow Garter is a must have!!!

I never know are these the things I buy for myself or hold off until Bridal Showers????

I am pretty sure if I bought it now I would wear it around the house for the next 9 months!

Tattoo Love

When the dress hunt first started I had mother in mind...of course.  Cover up the tattoo is what I could hear her saying.

But something came over me... well that and I saw the picture of Melissa and her LOVELY art work on Green Wedding Shoes . 

It was over from there and I am now on my tattoo mission.  I have a cross on my back that is in NEED of a face lift.  The goal is to have that done in a few short months so my art can look as lovely as all these Tattoo Brides!

Our Weekend

I found this image not to long ago and tought to myself - Him and I .

He's a bit conservative with flare while I am all out and about.

We make a perfect match and I can't wait to show images from our e-session!!

Drama Day Dreams

Planning a wedding can be ...mmm.. stressful at times.  I am sure at those times just like any stressful point in life we tend to day dream about running away.

When these moments take place which generally revolve around the guest list my day dream consist of Fog, just my love and I and images like this:

Something Blue

My birthstone is Sapphire and the first thought that came to mind was I just wear my stone.  But that's not much fun and of course as most things go back to wardrobe I thought SHOES...blue shoes would be LUSH!!!

I get most of my wardrobe inspiration from Polyvore.  I enter what I am looking for and she gives me a load of images ....

Can't remember who these are by but I adored the flowers:

Just a lush simple pair of BALLER shoes.  Although I would LOVE a pair I know it isn't apart of the budget

Then these little cuties came up.  I LOVE bows and this blue is AMAZING... I think these just might be the ones.....

Lovingly,

Go DJ ...That's my DJ

Music is like LIFE to me.  I love my boo and all but I took a hold of this task super fast as well.  Right away I hit up a friend to the clan Jev .

It didn't take long to see this dude would be the one to keep our celebration how shall I say...pumping!!

Check him out and hit him up for your event!!

Here is a small bit of my music list:
Common – The Light


D’Anjelo – Lady

Method Man and Mary J Blige – You're all I need

Dusty Spring – Preacher Son

Amy Whinehouse – Greater Love

Prince – You got the look

Wedding Day Dreams

Aaawwww this feels good!

I am a long time blogger and a new bride to be. An outlet was much needed and although I have tried to avoid the wedding blog route I couldn't help myself.

So I am here to share my experience, hope and inspiration to all brides to be.

Sit back enjoy and feel free to copy + save all images as they help a tun when trying to explain the pretty wedding dreams in your mind.

Loving,
