I like choice number 3 cause it has a touch of gold like your hairpiece so itll go great with the dress as well
Thanks! My headband has been the biggest pain, since it's not really silver but not really gold either!
I vote for 1 with 3 as a close second... that sounded sooo convoluted lol:
It's ok. I sound very convoluted all the time. So I got ya!
Hi! Just joining in and loving everything!
My pick is for #3 as well. It has a nice touch of yellow/gold to go with your head band but it isn't overwhelming everything else you've got going on.
Can't wait to see everything after your wedding.
Welcome!
I'm glad you are enjoying my thread. I can't wait to post everything afterward. I promise I won't go MIA (barring any kitty illness
) after the wedding.
that's awful that she made you feel so uncomfortable and especially since you're self conscious about that area as it is. That's really scary that the last time you did the botox you had to go to the hospital, I'm not sure I'd want to risk it that close to the wedding. Have you thought of adding those "sweat guards" to the inside of your dress? They are small pieces of cotton I think, but it might make you feel less self conscious.
Oooh the jewelry is so pretty. I vote for #1 but possibly without the necklace, just earrings and bracelet. I also really like 3.
I've really tried everything when it comes to the sweating. It's awful. I am nervous about the treatments, but I only went to the hospital because DF forced me to go and they did were tests (which were all negative) and gave an ant-inflammatory shot in my bum!
. It did resolve on its own. I just really don't want to panic attack about it during the wedding (and I don't want to be knocked out on xanax either) #1 is so beautiful, very princessy.
yay updates!!
LOVE your makeup/hair trial photos! Your headband looks amazing and matches your dress and hair style perfectly. I'm sorry to hear about your alterations disaster at Davids
I didn't have a great time there either so I can sympathize! I hope that when you go back to try it on it fits right this time!
My vote is for the 3rd jewelry set. Looks stunning with your dress - the coloration is perfect.
very cool website!
I know Wendy! I was gone forever it felt like. Ugh to Davids. One woman was awesome but the others were terrible! My mom found the Adorn website. It does seem like an ingenuous idea.
Wow, so many updates! All that foot makes me hungry. LOL!
Your hair trial came out beautiful and the invites are a riot! Love them! I think that #3 is the best for your dress. I like #1 too, but without the necklace.
Good luck with everything! I can't wait to see it all put together.
Haha, the food was so good! But there was so much. It felt like a huge waste. Especially since I ordered some items specifically for Mike and he wasn't able to be there. I'm glad you liked the invites. They are so "us" I had sweatshirts and tees made with the design for the trip (and in general) and coffee mugs for our desks, and a pen, and we're actually getting a canvas print of it to hang in our living room. I'm sure some people didn't get it, but I love it and so does Mike and we're a bunch of weirdos together.
I'm glad everyone liked 3, because that's what I ordered. I had a phone consultation with adorn, and they were wonderful. I would totally recommend their services, based on my phone conversation with Nadine, who also made some combos for me with the dress...which led me to making my own combination of those earrings and the bracelet. I can't believe I'll be wearing jewelry which retails for more than the cost of my wedding
but I think I'll feel like a princess. I really liked the first set (which was one of Nadine's) but it was too princessy for me. The second set felt very Snow White to me, but I really like the style of the bracelet and the earrings, which are pale yellow diamonds, really mix well with the yellowish tint of the headband. Yay!
Pretty
As for other news, 2 weeks for today we'll be in Disney!
The only thing I'm worried about is leaving our little kitties. But I know we have to...
I feel like all I've done for the past 2 weeks is order our last minute items. I've received Mike's socks (superhero socks, like the flash) I'm going to use a yellow sharpie to color in the lightning bolt
(And no, those are not Mike's hairy legs)
My garter (I had ordered a DNA one through etsy, but it never really worked out) Mike is a huge NJ Devils fan. I wasn't going to do a garter since I'm wearing spanx shorts under my dress (i'm super neurotic about wearing shorts under dresses and this was the compromise between Mom and me) But she said I had to either wear a veil or a garter so I chose the garter.
And our guestbook. We are doing the thumbprint tree. And instead of love birds they are drawing into 2 cats for Mike's and my thumbprints.
(We haven't received ours yet, this is the pic from etsy)
We also received the parasols, which worried me for a while since they were out of stock until 9/23.
They are actually really nice quality.
And now we are still in the debate over favors...and almost 2 weeks away. We had originally wanted the personalized mickey ears, but they were expensive ($18 pp). So then I talked my mom into doing the food and wine festival giftcards. I had thought we'd do like $5-7, but my mom figured $10. Which isn't *that* much cheaper than the ears, plus we'd have to make this cards to go with them (Like "Eat, Drink and Be Married"), and then we deal with the whole yarmulke issue. So now my mom is saying we can do the ears and I think Mike really wants to do them...so we'll probably cave in and do them
Oh and I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but we also caved in and added the carving station for sirloin to the menu. My dad said we needed beef.
Now I need to order some wedding sand for the ceremony. I think that's the last thing I need to order, unless we are buying cufflinks for the groomsmen. We order a pair of DNA ones for Mike and had purchased a pair of musical notes for the best man.
So now we're debating to get ones for the all guys (will they use them?) or just my Man of honor (Giants or Green Lantern??) For gifts for the bridal party we bought earrings for the girls and the ties for the guys. Should we buy more? We're running a little low on the wedding funds and moneys a little tight seeing as how we're teachers and didn't get paid all summer and had lots of expenses (cat, house, etc...) And we are planning all our honeymoon stuff. We're crazy, we're trying to find a place to skydive in Hawaii. We've gone before, but would love to do it in Hawaii, or hang glide, or repel down waterfalls. Haha, we sound extreme...I'm going to go drink a Mountain Dew
