Just a few thoughts from a simple girl as I try to plan a wedding amidst the craziness of my life...

About Me

I am 25 year old getting ready for our nuptials on May 01, 2010. I am currently a graduate student majoring in Occupational Therapy. I love to write and I love weddings (well I used to). I thought it would be a great way to blend a few of my loves into a blog. Sit back and enjoy while I attempt to juggle planning a wedding on a budget while doing schoolwork. So let the madness begin!!

Bridesmaid Dresses? Maybe...

New layout, the other was too boring. I'm not in love with this one but it'll do until my fiance builds me a better one. Anywho, I'm really excited that I got new followers. For a while I thought I was rambling to myself and I was fine with that; but now the pressure is on for me to add some insightful and interesting posts.

I was on Jcrew.com and found some dresses that I liked. I don't want the bridesmaids to be too fancy and I like a simple look. Of course, I'm not picking out the dressing, I'm simply picking a designer and color. I like JCrew because some of the prices are reasonable; which I can relate to because I remember paying for my bridesmaids dresses that still hang in my closet. AND ( I know every bride says this, but its true) the girls can wear them again. Here are the ones that I like. I might pull a Bridezilla and tell them they have to pick. I'm still waiting for their responses.





















I also love Jim Hjelm. Those are more on the expensive side but so pretty. All of the girls like the one I chose a while ago (the tan one with the bow on the side).

The debate continues...Silk vs. Fresh Flowers...

I was watching another episode of My Fair Wedding with celebrity wedding planner David Tutera and silk flowers came up in the episode. Unfortunately the bride had the ugliest silk flower arrangement ever and of course David was like, silk flowers should never be seen EVER. It was the first time I have ever disagreed with him. It was like a little part of died that day. David said that you should have real flowers at your wedding. I agree fresh flowers are so pretty but why do they have to cost so much money? Its not as if the bride takes all the floral arrangements home with her. What do they do with all those lovely centerpieces? Throw them out? Oh no...oh no...Either I do a silk flower on the tables or do something else. I like the idea of fresh flowers somewhere, I just have to figure out where. But I have to admit, I am partial to roses. I love me some roses.
