Peaches and cream

I decided that is the "theme" of the wedding. It's more or less the colors - variations of peachy oranges and corals, and cream being the accent colors and that same color of my WEDDING DRESS!

That's right, I picked it out! I am sooo excited. Everyone kept telling me "when you try on the right dress you will know". Cue eye roll because it sounds so cliche, but omg, it's so true. I went shopping today with my mom and I tried on a few arbitrarily because I thought we weren't choosing until next week, but when I put this one on, I just knew. So odd, because we weren't really searching today, and I also thought for sure I wanted WHITE over ivory and thought I wanted a lace up back - my dress is none of these, but I love it.








As you can see, it's a corset style top with buttons down the back. It's sort of antique looking, which I adore, because my wedding/engagement ring has that sort of look to it too. It has a pickup style skirt. It's simple, and feminine and elegant, all the things I wanted. I just adore it.

My mom and I were just on a roll today! We also found HER wedding dress (for those who don't know, she's marrying her beau Steve in HAWAII a month after my wedding! How cool is that?!) We also found the remaining glassware needed for my candy bar and the most amazing card box. It looks like a treasure chest, it's in my colors, and it says "live, laugh, love" at the top:



Now the only "big" detail we have left to plan is the honeymoon! Fun!

Alright bridesmaids, ball's in your court for the shower! ;)

Brittany baby!

So, I have added a bridesmaid to my wedding, and I'm so excited! My friend Brittany will be up there with me and I'm so happy. :) Ugh, it's disgusting, I have the BEST four girls as my bridesmaids, and they are all so special to me in different ways yet all in the same way - ALL of them have known Josh and I since the beginning. All of them have been so amazingly supportive and just "get" why we are so happy together. What can be better?

Yes, that means we also added a groomsman. So excited. Now we have 4 and 4. Who we added is surely going to upset some people. Well one person. It's not our intention, but it's bound to happen. I just keep having to tell myself that this is Josh and I's day, ALL that matters in the end is that WE are happy on this day, and we won't regret anything. I know we won't. And I also know that the people/person who may get upset by this decision will realize that similar decisions have been made by them. If this is making no sense to you, that's ok. :) But I guarantee that all four of my BM's know exactly what I'm referring to here. AND THAT'S WHY I LOVE THEM! :)

Okay, on to funner things! Now that all the big details are out of the way (venue, food, cake, DJ, bridesmaid dresses, flowers, photographer, centerpieces ... am I missing anything??!) are more or less covered, I get to focus on the smaller but sooo important details. Point at hand right now is the candy bar! I am so excited about this. Right now this is my vision:




More or less. Except with my colors and way better candy. Oh man. And I have a couple of tricks up my sleeve - but I can't give all my secrets away now can I??!

And my AMAZING cousin Carlie has been AWESOME! She's going to make these amazing pomanders for me to put on the chairs outside to bring some color to the ceremony. Something along these lines:



Do you love it?! Do you understand the amount of work that's going to have to be put in to these? I feel so honored that she would be not only willing but HAPPY to make these for me for my wedding. She's so crafty! I do not have that gene. Envious. Oh and she's doing alot more too! But again - I want to leave some surprises for the 3 of you that do read this blog. Heehee! <3 I love you all! Just over six months to go!
